Great idea, but ... June 23, 2008
Apparently this company doesn't have terrific quality control; reviews of their other thermometers frequently mention problems with bad batches of product. This is the first item I've bought from their line, and it's a bust. The transmitter and receiver lose their connection every couple of hours, and don't communicate at all when separated by 25 feet or more. Much worse, the sensors register temps at least 40 degrees lower than actual temps, as measured by charcoal ribs and a cheap but reliable instant-read thermometer I used as a control after ruining the first batch. I'll exchange this one for another because the problem MIGHT be the batch, and because this is a great idea and very handy for long, slow barbecue cooking. Meanwhile, I'm not just unimpressed but disgusted.

Must-have for Barbecue. June 16, 2008
I bought this unit a few years ago. I tried it on Thanksgiving and wrongly thought it didn't give an accurate reading. I dug it out a few weeks ago and tested it in boiling water against a probe thermometer I thought was accurate.

Turned out this thermometer had better accuracy (practically spot on).

I've seen reviews complaining about the range. I tested that out as well before using it with the smoker. It's worked from downstairs when the transmitter was upstairs. It also worked well when the transmitter was outside and the receiver inside about thirty feet away - with two walls, including the exterior wall, in between. Right now it's working perfectly with the receiver is in the basement and the transmitter outside.

Superb for Sausage Making June 13, 2008
My husband loves this temperature probe. We enjoy making our own sausage. With this temperature probe, he can monitor the smoke temperature at the same time he monitors the internal temperature of the sausage. It's a bargain. The remote readout is a big plus because he can do something else and get notified if he needs to tend the sausages.

This temperature probe was better than expected. We highly recommend it.

Works, but prepare to be frustrated June 8, 2008

All the bad reviews are more or less true: the range sucks, if it is out of range, it will keep displaying the same temperature, fooling you into thinking you are monitoring the temp when you are not, the connection with the remote is flaky, the controls are horribly designed, and the default temp settings are annoying, as is the alarm.

However, I was, through trial and error, able to get it to work reasonably well. The connection works fairly well at about 10-15 feet through a glass patio door. You can set the temps high enough that the annoying alarm isn't triggered. You get used to the proper sequence for turning the two components on and syncing them up.

The only pro is: there isn't a substitute with two probes that I know of ( or at least one that does not get equally bad reviews). I'd love to have a remote thermometer with two probes that worked well and was well designed, even if it was a lot more expensive than this one, but I haven't been able to find one.

So buy it not because its good, but because its hard to find a substitute.

Complicated to use June 7, 2008
This seemed like it would solve the problem of having to babysit the smoker that is located on the lower level of our property....it has the capacity to to be perfect except for the fact that it beeps continually every 2-5 min until you keep shutting it off....can be quite aggravating....but as far as keeping track of the temperature, that part works great.
