Probe grate clip

[PRC]

Trying to find a grate clip that will hold the probe 3-4” off the grate. The ones that come with the remote thermometer’s only hold the probe 1/2” off the grate. Welcome any suggestions on how to do this or if anyone has found taller probe clips.

I've seen a potato and a ball of foil used.

I am purely guessing, but could you possibly use a clip like this and aim it up?

drink a can of beer, poke the probe through it and cook it to desired temp and drink another while you wait

Might be worth a try. Thanks

Or drink 6 beers, poke the probe through your hand, and cook to the desired temp!

Sorry, couldn’t resist. I know of no pre-made solutions to what you are looking for.

Never thought I needed one of these until now.

Only one, are we cooking a steak? No need for the added height… now if it’s low and slow get the ice chest ready and we’re in business…

Reviews are kind of sketchy. Seems to be a lot of 1 star reviews based on the rubber/silicone tearing up.

For the price, you could like make something similar for less than $15 without using the rubber compound.

After reading the same reviews I do not think any of the negative reviews were from use on a pellet grill. I think they were using it on a charcoal or gasser grills. Worth a try, I will let you know what my experience is after I use it for a bit. I only use the 1250 cooking at 350 degrees or less and 95% of the time at 225 degrees or less.

If you read ALL of the reviews, you get a much more positive view than just reading the negative ones. My take on negative reviews—on any item, not specifically this one—is that they don’t give a balanced view. There are always some folks who can’t follow directions or have unrealistic expectations and their experience suffers because of it. As a result, their reviews are negative, regardless of whose fault it might have been. YMMV

Completely agree.

Mine shows up tomorrow. I'll let you know how it survives the next couple weeks. The in-laws are coming, and Reqs will see some heavy use!
