Can I keep the thermometer in the meat while I am grilling it?

Not for this model. You may want a different model for that purpose.You would like to see this model:Weber 6741 Style Dual Probe Wireless Thermometer

I don't think the plastic head would take much heat. Therefore I would say don't keep it near flame or heat source.

No - the directions say to "Never leave thermometer in food on barbecue." and "Do not expose thermometer to temperatures outside of operational temperature range". The operating temps are listed 122F to 212F. It's designed to give readout in <15 sec.

right on the grill surface, where you would want to measure the temperature of where you put your food.

Yes, it does. So you want to insert it into the middle of the meat to check the internal temp.

Hi Lorna, Yes you can! But it is important to keep the temperature at more of a medium range and monitor the surface temperature as these can get very hot. Keep in mind the temperature at the lid will be much cooler than the grill surface temperature. In one experiment we did trying to push the limits, the lid temperature was at 550 degrees yet the actual surface temperature was 1000 degrees. So in summary, Yes, but keep the temperature at a lower range and or leave the lid open. Thank you for your question!!! Jamie

I have only used it with the probe in meat in the oven and the thermometer either on top of the stove top or the counter. It is a very handy thermometer. I especially like it to roast a turkey as you dont have to open the oven that much, only if needing to baste.

Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat you are cooking. Try to stay in the middle, without touching bone.

Yes! Insert the probe into the thickest area of the meat (or thickest breast or thigh in a group of chicken pieces). Whatever the lowest acceptable temp for the meat you're cooking is, it'll all come out wonderfully!

I use ours exclusively, outdoors, indoors, wherever we're cooking meat. This is not, however, to be left in the meat. It takes only a few seconds to register an accurate temperature, so that's not a problem.

You have the grill temp probe. The food probe is longer and pointed for easy insertion into the meat. You can buy FOOD PROBES individually or in sets of two.

I have not used it yet but yes you are able to keep it in the meat as you cook.

Yes, I am able to close the lid of the grill when measuring the temperature of the meat. I carefully feed the wires though the hole where the rotisserie wold be used. I would be careful to not crimp the wires.

Put the probe in the meat in the oven or grill when you start cooking. Close the oven door or grill lid. The probe's wire can then be plugged in to the register outside the oven or grill. The oven door and grill lid can and will close around the wire and not impact oven or grill temperature.

I wish I could be more help but I have not ever used the thermometer that way. I've only used it to test temperature when meat is taken out of the oven. For that purpose it works great.

I keep it on grill for continuous use in determining the correct temps. when I'm smoking meats.

The probe you are trying to use is for the grill temp monitor. There is another for the food which is longer and is pointed! You can get them alone or in sets.

I would not try to use the meat probe. The wire from the Monitor to the probe would get tangled while the rotisserie is spinning. You could use the temp probe to monitor the BBQ temp as long as it was fixed to grate.

I never used it that way, but I suppose it could be an instant-read thermometer since it's meant to be inserted into the meat to get internal temp. FWIW, I never use this thermometer anymore and wish I had sent it back. Neither the meat end, nor the oven end are accurate in my Chargriller Akorn. I calibrated the temps using 3 other thermometers I have and this one was off way too far to be used.
