I got the thermometer from Linen& it was the kind you use for a deep fryer, but it did say on the label that it was a multi purpose. I picked it because it had a long probe, this way it can reach the mid point of the grill. It was only about $7.
I usually change the foil every 2-3 smoking sessions, or when it gets real messy.
I do drive a Nissan, but it’s not a Z.
The Z refers to my name. I wish I had a Nissan Z, I also like them, but they’re not too practical when you have a family.
