Very Favorable September 3, 2008
Works flawlessly. I especially like the fact that it has room for two probes, this way if I have two diffent thicknesses of meat I can make sure they are removed at the correct times. I have also used the second probe to display the oven temp by just laying it in the grill. I like how the temp is also displayed on the transmitter so if I am by the grill and not by the receiver I can see the temp. I am careful though to not expose the probe wires to direct flames as to not ruin them. I would not hesitate to buy on again.

My Husband Loves this thing September 1, 2008
I bought this for my husband to go with his smoker/BBQ. He enjoys slow cooking meats and this is perfect for that. He can do other things while the meat is cooking and be alerted when the temp is too hot or too cool. He did actually have to read the directions but had it down with in a few minutes. We have not fully tested the range but there was no problem with the BBQ outside and my husband upstairs on the far side of the house.

Bar b que thermometer August 28, 2008
This cooks the best meat nothing is over done and with 2 probes you can't beat it. You don't have to stand there watching food. Directions are a little confusing but if I can figure it out you can

Lousy, Lousy, Lousy! August 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I recently bought myself a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker, and wanted to get a wireless thermometer for monitoring pork, chicken & other goodies during "low...slow" cooking.

I started with a Walmart unit with a single probe, but the range just plain sucked. It couldn't transmit from the smoker on the back porch to inside the house very well at all. We're only talking 30-40 feet, versus the claimed range of "up to 100 feet."

I returned that one, and got a super-duper Maverick Redi-Chek ET-7 off Amazon.com. That one has 2 probes (so I can measure the temp of the item being cooked, while tracking temperature inside the cooker itself. The wireless range, however, is even lousier than the Walmart unit.

It may be just fine if you're willing to stand within 30-40 feet (clear line of sight) of the smoker, but if you dare go inside your house, the ET-7 receiver loses its connection with the transmitter. Of course, as others have noted, there's no OBVIOUS signal that the temperatures being displayed by the receiver are the temps from before signal was lost.

Yes, if you're observant, you can stare at the receiver for 2 minutes (don't blink, or you'll miss it!), checking for the blinking "satellite dish" symbol to show that it's still linked with the transmitter.

After losing the connection between the transmitter & receiver, if you DARE to try & re-establish the link, you've got to go back to the smoker. Then, shut off the transmitter & receiver. Then, turn on the receiver to "operate", and within 60 seconds (thou shalt not count to 65...memories of Monty Python's "Holy Hand Grenade"), turn on the transmitter.

GREAT! Now you've got a link re-established. Sit within a few feet of the smoker and you can trust the temperature readings. If you dare move, however, all bets are off.

At nearly $40 (twice the price of the Walmart unit), I had hoped for a whole lot better. This is a poor excuse for a "remote" thermometer.

Great Wireless Thermometer August 23, 2008
I have purchased a couple wireless thermometers before and none compare to this one.

The 2 probe system is great. Even if you are not not smoking two different meats you can still use the 2nd probe for ambient temperature.

The manual was a little weak but not horrible. Reception is good and having a temp readout on both the transmitter and receiver is a nice touch.
