Tex_77 i will look it up, thanks much

I have used Thermopens, bought for others as gifts, and borrowed other therms from lots of people. I am a strong advocate of Thermopens. Basically the pros use them for a good reason, in my opinion.

America’s Test Kitchen rank the Javelin Pro as the best mid price range instant read thermometer out there, so it has that going for it. I know Walton’s has an instant read thermometer coming out as well, so I’d check into that.

Been using ThermoWorks products for years. No complaints.

I have used a BBQ Guru set up for smoking meats in my Imperial Kamado and BGE for 25 years or so. Recently replaced it with a Signals from ThermoWorks when they had a great sale. Like the T-pen, it has been a winner, again in my opinion. I’m sure there are other instant read thermometers that are very good too. To each their own!

[tarp]

yup thermo pens instant

[Tex_77]

If you’re looking for a leave in I highly recommend Fireboard.

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Fireboard? twilliams we will have one shortly, probably mid june, that will read in 2 seconds or less.

[Tex_77]

Jonathon corrected

[twilliams]

Jonathon can you give details? Private message if need be

[Jonathon]

twilliams No need, all of this can be public. It will be a long probe thermometer, reads from -50 to 500 and something. Why it needs to read -50 I have no idea but apparently it does! Waterproof, “instant” read, magnetic panel on the back to allow it to stick to smokers and fridges, it did a nice job at getting to its final reading by 2-3 seconds. Oh, and it is calibratable, and I think NSF and CTL rated…dont hold me to the ratings though, I’ll find out next week and update this

[Jonathon]

Something weird happened there, sorry, I was typing and it just posted. I was going to finish up by saying that the best part of this would be that it will be priced fairly inexpensively, less than $20 for sure!

[twilliams]

Jonathon has me skeptical with the price, but will give it a look

[Chef]

Jonathon with the fire board, will you have the fan and hookup cables and the package with all the probes as well. I was just going to buy one, but I’ll wait till you get them in stock. Thanks

[Chef]

Tex_77 hey tex, do you use your fireboard for just temperature or to control air flow as well?

[Tex_77]

Chef i use it for both, I have a FireBoard fan hooked up to my Primo, makes it truely sit it, and forget it. Just get your temp dialed in and coming down before you hook the fan up.

I’ve been using the Thermoworks Thermapen (in one version or another) for many years. The only reason I don’t have my first one is because I lost it (or gave it away–I’ve lost and given away a few of them). I’ve never had one fail on me, though. No matter what, I would have the one I have now because it’s backlit and splashproof. Until they come up with something a good deal better, you’ll have to pry this one from my cold, dead hands.

That said, I am staying tuned about what Walton’s comes up with.

[Jonathon]

Chef Sorry if there was some confusion or if I misspoke/typed, we are not getting the fireboards, I was saying we are getting an “instant” read thermometer that will be Walton’s branded soon.

[Chef]

Jonathon I’ll be getting a few of them. Thanks

[Tex_77]

Jonathon it would be a good idea to carry Fireboard’s…
