Meat probe part 1

I cannot have any of my gas grills let alone a smoker in my apartment. I decided I wanted to cook a tri-tip at a low temperature (200°) in the oven. Two ways to go, trial and error like I learned to grill or buy a remote temperature probe so I can monitor the temperature without opening the oven. When I mentioned I am going to buy the probe on Facebook two of my siblings thought that would take all the work and fun out of cooking. I countered that I was still very involved and was just using a cooking gadget to improve the outcome. Would you go back to using a whisk for a cake batter when you had a mixer? I think not. This will have a part two after I get the probe and cook the meat.
