figured you diy'ers would appreciate this.
home depot has milwaukee 12 volt package deals going right now. impact drill, driver, two batteries, carrying case and another tool(limited) of your choice. for 140 out-the-door. sold the identical impact to a friend for 40$(no battery)
yea im glad i bought a cheapo first. was messing around with it and opened the vents on the smoker to full blast, just to see what kind of temps it could reach(no meat). came back several minutes later and the smoker was over 800 degrees
fucked it real good like. lesson learned. i wont do that to the next one.
having the 'grill' probe will be a nice addition for you. like everything else i do, i hastily bought one without the grill probe/setting. think the meat probe would work the same, but it only has one temp monitor setting so the alarm will sound if i set a temp for the meat.
