I have ordered right from Maverick.
I believe they were $12 each.
But if you order more than one, then it's $10 each w/shipping included.

theseburgerz, hope you got things worked out.
Just curious WTF were you cooking and on what, that you burned up two probes on the first cook?
I see your sig line says UDS, that musta been some serious inferno. Shocked

Not trying to be nasty or critisize anything, just wondering.

i smoked 3 8 pounds butts for 12 hours, re loaded the basket and filled the grate with 15lbs of chicken quarters. when i went to pull the quarters i had just opened the cover and set it on the deck railing and partially on the smoker and didnt remove the probes. i was removing them and with all the oxygen the charcoal took flame and then the grease in the bottom started burning. it got pretty bad so i just threw the cover on and sacrificed the probes. i dont think i would have got them out in time anyways. it was the first time this has ever happened. i smoke butts and chicken ALL the time and have never had a huge grease fire like this before
