I'm converting a freezer into a smoker and I need to wire in a thermostat to control the 1000 watt burner?
Most people tell me to go and get an old oven thermometer but those thermometers are made for 220V and of course my heating element is 110V. How do I make two compatible? Also I need a heating range from 90 deg to 200 degrees, will an oven thermostat be able to accommodate such a low temperature?

If the thermostat is purely mechanical (Clicks on and off without electricity connected) it will work just fine for 110v. I have used a propane torch to test thermostats like this, just be very careful that you don't over heat it while testing it.

Will a pop-up timer work with a smoker?
Got an electric smoker for Christmas, finally got a nice free day to give it a shot. I have a whole chicken that I'm smoking (started about 3 hours ago). My question is will the pop-up timer that's in the chicken work or do I need to worry about stabbing it with a thermometer now? I always check once I take the bird out of the grill/oven with a thermometer just use the pop-ups for convenience before I take it out.

i don't see why it wouldn't work. 165 in the oven is the same as 165 in a smoker right?

I have used many digital probe thermometers and have found that many fail after a few uses, recommendation?
I use them in the oven, in the smoker, and in my mash tun during home brewing (wet). Sometimes on the grill but not that often, mainly during brewing (never above 200 degrees) and in the oven for large cuts of meat, and my smoker (250-300).

My favorite thermometer is the one from Pampered Chef. You may have to find a local sales person to order one for you as they are sold exclusively at home parties.
