Noah here with a public service announcement…
As I told you in my newsletter last night (Sign up for free here), We’re celebrating two Thanksgivings this year… one we did today and one we’re doing tomorrow.
The holidays are so good we’re doing it twice!
And that’s good for me because I love Thanksgiving!
But here’s my public service announcement…
It may sound silly, but sometimes when I find things that are really cool I want to share them with you.
I’ve always been a little intimidated by cooking a turkey, it’s a big job and if you mess up the turkey the whole meal will be ruined! Overcooking is bad, undercooking is even worse, everyone goes home with terrible diarrhea.
So you have to get it right.
And I came to this grilling session with three different meat thermometers.
One was the classic one you see in the photo above…
I bought it new from the store this year and it was pure garbage.
Before I stuck it in it read 190 degrees and then immediately after I stuck it in it read 90 degrees.
Of course no one was right.
But who can tell by the way the screen blurs and fades out almost instantly.
So that was useless.
About halfway through I took out another thermometer…
It was a nice one, still in the box. I don’t know where it came from, maybe someone gave it as a gift.
Very nice, very fancy, but no instructions in the box.
So I go over to the grill and put this bad boy in the turkey, close the lid because you have to get the heat right, and let it cook.
Luckily I checked it after about 10 minutes to see how it was doing and what temperature it was reading and the whole thing had melted!
Turns out it was an “after cooking” thermometer, not rated for use on a grill.
I immediately took it out and thank God it was all still in place and while it was rapidly melting and turning into a haystack, nothing had actually exploded or gotten on the food (unless I die tomorrow from mercury poisoning, and then you all will know what happened to me! Either death from mercury poisoning or clinton I finally got it!)
So anyway, two thermometers gone, but I still had one to go…and that’s the one I want to tell you about.
It’s made by a company called MEATER (get it? It’s a meter measurement for meat, so MEATER) and it’s totally amazing!!
No, MEATER is not paying me anything to write this article, I just thought their product was so cool that I wanted to tell you all about it…
And it’s my website so I get to do what I want!
This is what it looked like in my turkey:
Well, I don’t want to brag or anything, but isn’t that a nice looking bird?
This year I was very happy with it!
And here’s what it looks like up close:
It comes in this beautiful wooden box that also serves as a charging unit so that it’s always charged when you go to use it.
Stick it in whatever you’re cooking and this bad boy won’t melt on the grill like my other grills, it’s rated for fires up to 1,000 degrees!
Then the really cool thing is that it syncs wirelessly with your phone and gives you readouts about the internal temperature of the meat you’re cooking, the target temperature when it’s safe to eat (165 degrees for turkey), and the ambient temperature inside your grill or oven or wherever you’re cooking (recommended 325-350 for the grill, kids on low and slow).
It then calculates how much time you have left, and then it immediately switches to a countdown timer to rest the meat, which is very important.
Anyway, highly, highly recommended by yours truly…and I just saw they’re on Black Friday sale at Amazon right now, 23% off.

There is also a version with 4 probes and longer range, which I would definitely recommend for longer range:

so there you go!
A public service announcement from me, Noah – to help make your Thanksgiving perfect!
Also, before I go, one more…
I just saw this from my friend Jovan Pulitzer and I thought it was an amazing message that I wanted to share with all of you.
Great show Jovan!
Please share.
