ThermoWorks Thermapen
An item that is essential to all BBQ chefs is a quality instant-read thermometer. The one we use, and most other competition BBQ teams use, is the ThermoWorks Thermapen. This tool not only will give you a great temperature reading, but the long metal probe is great for checking tenderness on your brisket or pork butt.
ThermoWorks describes their Thermapen as a great tool to get full readings in only 2 to 3 seconds, the Super-Fast® Thermapen is the world’s best in speed and accuracy. Hold it in any direction and the display automatically rotates right-side-up so you can read it in any position—in either hand, straight up or down.
Now that you have a way to read temperatures, be sure to check out different cuts of beef, pork, and fish for the next meat you’ll be cooking on the grill! Also, be sure to check out this quick guide for the perfect temperatures for your meat!
