content: It is very convenient to be able to BBQ one item and roast another@ the same time in different locations. When you know what the temps are, you don't have to waste heat constantly checking on it. Only downside is, the temp lags just a little bit.If you want your meat RARE, subtract 5-10 degrees until you're used to it. It can always be cooked more...Otherwise, am thrilled with it, glad I bought it!!
