If, by accident, your Polder Probe got too close to the fire or too hot, don't worry. Just replace the probe and you should be in business again! This replacement probe is for the Model 362-90 or THM-362-86 Polder Timer/Thermometer. The metal probe wire is protected by silicone and is heat resistant to 675 degrees F.
Question: Can I use my probe thermometer in a smoker or barbeque?
Answer: We recommend using your thermometer only as an instant read under these conditions. When using the continuous read feature please note:
1. Be careful not to sever or damage the lead or probe with the cooker lid.
2. Do not expose the probe or lead to direct flames. Probes damaged due to misuse will not be replaced free of charge under warranty. (See your thermometer's instruction sheet to read your particular thermometer's warranty in full.)
3. Always wear a heat resistant glove when touching the metal probe or wire during or just after cooking. DO NOT TOUCH IT WITH BARE HANDS.
