The Primo Instant Read Grill Thermometer is for spot checks. You probe the food, take a reading and make a decision, which is a different job from following a cook over several hours the way a remote thermometer does, and a different job again from a controller that manages the fire.

It is the tool that stops you guessing. Colour, firmness and elapsed time are all rough proxies for doneness, and they fail exactly when it matters most, on the thick cut you have spent all afternoon on. Probe the thickest part, keep clear of bone, and take a reading in more than one place, since a large piece of meat is rarely finished uniformly. Chicken and pork in particular are decided by temperature and nothing else.

Pair it with Primo Remote Wireless Grill Thermometer if you also want to watch a cook from indoors, and with Primo rib and chicken holder with drip tray for the kind of cooking where several pieces finish at slightly different moments.
