what kind of cable is connected to the probe? could a standard cable be spliced into it to lengthen it? does it plug into the thermometer?

A wire comes out of the thermometer. It cannot be removed. There is a plastic probe at the tip.

I haven't taken it apart yet. They are most likely hardwired/soldered to the display unit. Unless it is a small dual conductor plug & socket internal. I will be doing the same though to lengthen the cords. But I can tell you from my experience, that you would most certainly be able to lengthen the cable either way. It seems to be a quality unit overall aside from the shorter cables. Either by splicing or by replacing the the wire entirely and resoldering to the circuit card & probe. If I had to guess, I'd say its a 18 gauge coaxial cable. To prevent any signal degradation though, resoldering a new cable would be best. If done properly though a splice would work just fine. You would have to match conductor material & splice material (I.e. good solder, proper methods with flux etc. , butt splice or lap splice made of similar materials etc.). If you have a digital multimeter just redo the splice until you have less or at least match the resistance that it had originally. Also when you alter the wire length, you have to keep in mind that voltage drops over long distances. So it can't be too long, since its a small battery. Hope I helped. Good luck :0)

I used one of these in a home built tobacco kiln. The cable is quite long already, but if I recall, it's just a two conductor stranded cable, maybe 20 gauge, like cheap speaker wire. I didn't crack the housing open to see if the end is easily detachable, but you could probably just splice it right in the middle if you need to add length.

The display unit works fine and easily has the range to cover your needs. The method you need to take the measurement may require you to buy a different type of Type K thermocouple that is supplied. The thermocouple probes they supply are very small gauge and tip that is welded so they break easy and since it is small it will react to small changes in temperature. Also take care not to revers the probes in the connectors because the meter body is not keyed to prevent revers connections.

Peg Leg, please re-read my original answer to you. I added more info for you. Even the description on Amazon states this thermometer has a 2.9" probe. I was close!!!

don't think it would be wise to cut it. probably calibrated to that length cable. Just roll it up and tuck it out of sight. Place probe in the air stream. If you can manage to connect to the battery I would chose a model with back lighting.

Total length is as Richard stated. The sensor is about 1/2 inch long at the tip of the probe.

I do not think so. I have been careful not to let the cable end of my probes get wet. and they last for a while.

I don't believe the probe is waterproof. To be sure I might suggest checking with Coolerguys directly.

The controller comes with a 1/8" female jack on top.The temperature probe is a thermometer that plugs into the jack. It tells you the inside temp and also alters the charge float that changes with temperature.

Hi Montana Mike,The probe is 4.9 inches long. We love this thermometer for all of its features. Own many different "instant read" thermometers and find this unit far above the rest. Best Regards, Jack from The-Greatest-barbecue-Recipes.com

It has only one probe. If you want to measure both you will need two thermometers

Not sure. But the probe stopped working after using it about 3x. So it's just a timer now. NOT worth the money I spent

The temperature sensor plugs directly into the top of the charge controller, so there is no cable. It just measures the temp in the immediate vicinity of the charge controller. Hope that answers the question well enough!

The temperature probe is included, and wire is at least 10' long, but can be spliced and extended if needed. Yes, the relays are included, and the temperature and span are user adjustable. Display is metric units.

The probe, or temperature sensor came with it. Let me know if you have any other questions. There are 3 dip switches on the back of the thermostat and one activates the sensor.

Yes! The probe it comes with is braided with stainless steel and is usable up to 700 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the manufacturer.

The probe cord is 44 inches long and the unit does have a magnet on the back to secure it to a metal surface. Not sure about the comment of not leaving the probe in while cooking; maybe for use in an oven. I have used it twice only with a gas barbeque: once I left the probe in for pork tenderloin and once I had to insert the probe to test the temp as I was using the rotisserie. Worked great both times. Suggest you remove the battery and not store the unit with the battery in it.

Shouldn't have any problems getting ithe probe into the kettle. When I bought the thermometer it had a clip with it.. I'm not sure if the probe by itself comes with one. I don't think it does. You will need one. You could probably use an extra spoon to clip it to.Also the needle probe is primarily used for meat. The standard probe is all you will need for candy. Hope this helps.
