Now that you've ordered your #3, if you don't already own a wired thermometer (you probably do), consider purchasing a Maverick or Thermopro and dropping the wires down the top hole. They are bluetooth, and are what most of us use with the analog controller. If you want multiple probes, Wifi, and an app to control and graph your cooks, you can splurge on something like Fireboard or Tappecue. (Awesome) There are a lot of other similar options out there too. After a few smokes, you might find you don't really need the Auber or Heatermeter precision for box temp. But if you do, you can always add it later. It's a personal preference. There are only a few situations in my mind, like cold smoking, etc., where that kind of precision would be very helpful. I can successfully small scale cold smoke without it though.
