Product Description
Simply place the meat probe into the food, select the doneness setting, and clip on the remote to your pocket or waistband. The thermometer will beep when it's time to take the food off the grill.

Amazon.com Review
With the risks of e. coli and other food borne illnesses associated with undercooked meat, inexperienced cooks often choose to error on the safe side, unnecessarily roasting a once succulent duck breast into a charred, leathery state of submission. To avert disease and enjoy juicy meats, Weber created this digital thermometer system, equipped with a beeper remote and a temperature probe.

The accurate thermometer allows users to choose between several preset options based on USDA/FDA standards for their selected meat. After choosing the appropriate setting, users insert the probe into the thickest section of desired meat, taking care to pierce cleanly in one sweep to prevent overflowing juices. The probe fares well inside hot barbecues ranging from -4 to 482 degrees F and reads meat temperatures up to 199 degrees F. However, temperature readings may be affected by abnormally long cooking times. As the meat begins to cook, the beeper remote can be clipped onto an apron pocket or belt loop, allowing the chef to tend to other tasks. When the meat reaches its wellness point as designated by internal temperature, the probe sends a digital signal to the beeper, triggering its alarm. The probe and remote communicate at full signal for up to 80 feet, though walls and other blockage will reduce the range potential. The remote also beeps with increasing volume when losing contact with the probe sensor to insure that the user is aware. This thermometer system also can be used in ovens under similar circumstances. This item comes equipped with two AAA batteries and is imported. Weber may offer a warranty for this product. The digital thermometer measures 4-3/4 by 2-1/2 inches with 1-inch thickness and weighs 1 pound upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

1 out of 5 stars ONLY allows preset temps!   June 24, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was very disappointed by this product. The reviews I had read mentioned that it has presets -- but so do my car radio and my oven, and I can change the presets around how I like them, or set other options on my own. The reviews did NOT mention the most crucial thing to know:

This thermometer ONLY allows you to use the presets. There are no other options. If you don't like the presets, you're out of luck.

It also plays food nanny -- there's no setting but "well done" for hamburger, for example, and although the setting for rare beef is _correct_, you actually need to take a steak off the grill about 5-10F cooler than that because of carryover heat.

This was a gift for my husband, and both of us are disappointed. It won't get any use at all, and because of the type of packaging, we can't even pack it back up to return it. Big thumbs down, and an annoying waste of money.



1 out of 5 stars Wire Failure   June 23, 2008
Do not purchase this product! I bought two of these units. The first one the wire was damaged by the poor insulation of the wire, which Amazon gracefully replaced for free. The second unit failed again, at that point I was done with this unit ... didn't feel like badgering Amazon, so I'll keep looking for a better wireless unit.

I thought it was user error, but reading the other user reviews I think it's design error.



1 out of 5 stars Nothing professional here.   May 27, 2008
Unfortunately I have to join the crowd who managed to use it only once. Worked nice once and then died, no replacement sensor available. Looks like Weber have stretched their brand a bit too much so it covers also plenty of random junk. Beware also of Disposable Matchless Flame Lighter, it's premium priced cheap plastic imitation of real thing. Real pity, then marketing takes over the company and you can not trust trademark anymore.


1 out of 5 stars Same (bad) experience as others   May 27, 2008
I've never posted before, but thought I should add my .02. My unit worked once --- and never again. Tried the new battery thing as well, to no avail. Grrrr. Very annoying to read that SO many others had similar problems --- and yet the product is still being sold.




1 out of 5 stars Almost a disposable product   May 17, 2008
I had many problems with mine. Some work well but others do not. They are very cheap and the probes fail....some almost immediately.

I initially purchased one of these thermometers for about $25 and it worked just great, so I bought another one and it worked great too. Then I saw them on sale for $4 each and purchased 10 of them, Well the two had initially purchased finally crapped out after many many uses and after a year, so I took a new one out of the package and it didn't work at all and only about 1/2 of them worked out of those ten. Eventually they all crapped out too and I guess I got what I paid for. These thermometers are also marketed under the name Oregon Scientific and Nexxtech in addition to Weber.

It also has preset readings which are set to a maximum of 180 degrees. The things will read higher temps but only after alarming various points prior to hitting the temp settings. I found that real annoying.

Based on my experience with them and other folks on the BBQ forums, I would not purchase one.
