....and it is getting it's first seasoning right now (Labor Day).  This forum seems to be very helpful for teaching a cooking challenged dad with a family of 6 how to 'hopefully' produce some good food, especially in a region with tons of salmon.  Looking forward to learning from you all.

The US Air Force has made me an detail attentive control freak, so when controlling temps is this the PID I should start with to make life easier?

Thanks.

That is what i would recommend. If you need to save money the single probe model will suffice. If it fits in your budget I would go with the dual you have noted.

I would recommend that you not get the wall mounted probe.It sometimes gets in the way of the meat or ends up being in a cold spot. You have much more flexibility with the hanging probe.

Good advice on the PID... I just purchased one and started to buy the wall mount but after talking to the salesman I decided to go with the free hanging probe.

Also, Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum...Enjoy!
