Why a Tel-Tru Glow in the Dark thermometer?

First off Tel-Tru is a proven trusted brand in the barbecue industry. Why Glow in the dark? Any true pit master has had to start a cook in the middle of the night or early in the morning. The Tel-Tru glow in the dark thermometer has a huge 3 inch face. This will allow you to check it from quite a distance away in the dark, like through a window. You will need to expose it to sun light the day before though.

What is the right placement for the thermometer on your smoker?

Ideally you want your thermometer stem positioned at your cooking surface level and without the stem coming in contact with your food or heat source (you will need to consider how long your stem is as well). The right cooking surface location will enable you to get temperature readings closest to your meat and food. Most commercial cookers have the thermometer mounted at the top of the cooker for convenience, and since heat rises you will need to consider this when monitoring your cooking temperatures.

Most smokers already have a hole on the door for this size thermometer. typically it is covered with a plug, so it may take a second to locate it. Higher end thick-walled smokers will also be already threaded to accept this thermometer.
