I use the I grill for both meat and chicken.  My biggest concern is that the chicken is fully cooked!  Weber did replace one probe promptly when I contacted them but I recently threw away 2 more probes and I bought 2 more to replace them.  I always have 4 probes available.   I bbq mostly gas but also charcoal.  I have 2 gas grills 2 charcoal grills ( large and table) all Weber
