Re: Thermoworks probes talisker63, mguerra, Wanted to let you both know, I followed your suggestion and was able to straighten out my meat probe with a vice without a problem. Then used it to cook up a 12lb brisket which smoked for around 20 hours. Wonderful... Don't think it would have turned out as good without the Marverick probes to keep an eye on things. - Craig

Re: Thermoworks probes talisker63, mguerra, Okay, thanks. I'll give it a try.

Re: Thermoworks probes talisker63 I just tried to setup my ET-732 with my 23", Gen II KK and encountered the problem whereby the food probe can't be threaded through the hole on the right side near the lid. I see you were able to bend your probe, and I'm considering whether to try that, or just send my ET-732 back and try something else. Any chance you can offer some additional advice on how you bent that food probe successfully? Did you heat it up in some way first? I assume the probe is basically a hollow metal tube, so I'm concerned about kinking it while trying to straighten it. In hindsight, I wish Maverick had just made the tip and ring connector for the probe straight rather than right angle. Then I could have threaded the connector end through the KK tube. I actually called and suggested this to Maverick hoping they had an alternate probe but no luck. Thanks Craig Re: Thermoworks probes Postby talisker63 » Tue Jan 15, 2013 9:02 pm Sorry got a Maverick 732 and a Weber branded Maverick 73. Straightened both food probes in a vice with no trouble at all. The are quite thick, I bent them in small stages to gradually straighten the bend.
