I own that first one and i've never had any problems with it. It's the older model (that's why it's cheaper) but the thing has been rock solid for me. You cant go wrong with Maverick. They're commonly recommended for a reason.
Whatever you choose make sure it's a wireless one. I can sit my ass on the couch and watch the game and know exactly what's going on outside. It's great!

Get yourself a digital thermometer. The lid ones that come with the pit are useless.
This one is pretty good. and not expensive.

I've got the Smokenator and a maverick wireless thermometer on my weber kettle. I love it. I can put on a whole brisket at dawn, go back to bed and set the alarm to alert me if it goes outside of my preset temp. I can easily get 4 or 5 hours at a pretty stable 250 degrees on the first load of coals. After that I usually have to reload every hour or so. It's well worth the price.
Others here have given you advice on using a proper temp gauge, getting one for the smoker and one for the meat, but they forgot one. Get a beer or some liquor,relax, and have one or five drinks.
Also this is the temp probe I have Maverick Redichek . Not the best but it gets the job done.
This is the one I have my eye on: Maverick ET-73 BBQ set
It comes with both a meat probe and a pit probe. For about the price of two replacement probes.

this is the one that i have an i love it, you can set alarms for both the smoker and food temps so if it goes too high or low you will know
I just bought this ThermoPro TP-04 for my fathers xmas present, it's not wireless and only has 1 probe though.
Maverick seemed to be one of the most recommended brands on /r/smoking and /r/bbq. I didn't need the wireless because my dad will sit out with the smoker and check on it a lot.
This Maverick ET-73 would have been my other choice because it has dual probes and falls within a reasonable price range (~$29-33ish atm).
I'm sorry to say that these are only recommendations and I have no experience with either of these. There were a lot of complaints about the probes failing on many of the thermometers that I looked at as well so make sure that you read some reviews!
I use a dual probe thermometer.
This one actually. The grill probe is great at keeping a constant temp at the meat.
One caution: I would strongly suggest wrapping both wires in foil. I had an accident when a piece of applewood caught fire and the flames melted the meat-probe. Now I wrap both wires in a layer of heavy foil.
The receiver has a display which is great for being near the smoker, and the remote has a great range. The wires are about 3 feet long - which should be long enough to get it away from the heat somehow.
Your millage may vary, but I found the features (and price) of that unit right up my alley. Good luck with the smoke, sounds delicious.
Actually, here's the one I have - ET-73!
One for the probe and one for the meat! Sorry about the confusion.
I was thinking about getting the maverick because it comes highly recommended...but which one? this one or this one?
I ended up getting this and my buddy got this one which he's says is also good. But don't take my word for, see what else reddit likes.
I have a few smokers (the low and slow kind) and I monitor the temps with a Weber Wireless Outdoor Cooking Thermometer. When it dies I am going to get one of these:

Two probes and a 100 foot range on the Maverick. All you need. You should be able to establish when to add smoking wood by the temps. After the meat reaches approx. 140F little smoke flavor is absorbed from what I have been able to read on the many BBQ forums. YMMV of course...
Remote telemetry of the temps is far more reliable indicator of how the smoker is behaving for me. Windy days, cold days all affect my smokers temp.
Have fun!
Sure, though that would seem to require leaving your computer outside next to the grill? I have one of these which means I can keep the receiver end inside, but you're right it requires OCR. I really need a custom receiver that connects via USB. I'm not much of a hardware person though, so I don't know how hard that would be to make, or if such a thing exists.
good tip on the door, thank you. i'll keep an eye on it and start dreaming up fixes.
wrt the eel, im an hour from the DC fish market. nofear.
im looking at a slightly cheaper model of thermometer, that appears to do everything i need it to. reviews arent unpleasant, its on sale. the smoker is going to be, directonally, about 30 feet from my computer, so im not too worried about range on the wireless ohshitometer. is there specific places i should place the probes? top of the smoker? bottom? between the meat? IN the meat?
