What is the best wireless meat thermometer to purchase ?
-
Hey guys… I’m getting tired of buying wireless meat thermometers on Amazon only to find they have big temp fluctuations. Or the probes crap out after a few uses. What’s the best one to buy?
BubbaSmoke1963 Thermpro products are extremely reliable and can only be purchased through them. There is a note on their website that there are “fakes” being sold on Amazon. A couple of chefs i know only use Thermpro for instant, wired or wireless devices. I have an instant read and wired product. No issues after using for the last 1.5 years. Others say the wireless have around 300 feet of range and they do have ones with, I think, up to 4 probes. Good luck with your hunt.

Thanks I think I will look at the original Thermo probes and the Meater also…

I was driving myself NUTS trying to find a cheaper alternative, so I figured spend the money on Thermoworks SmokeX4 or spend the money on counseling.
The reasons I went with this option is
- Reputation
- Quality Product
- High and Low Alarms (when I hack my pellet grill to smoke since I don’t have a dedicated smoker and can’t do the scheduled temperature cycling
- The only one I found that CALIBRATES. I am neurotic about the minutia and coming from a biochem background I need instruments I can depend on to the 1F

Dr_Pain Hard to go wrong with Thermoworks, I’ve used my thermopen for at least 7 years

BubbaSmoke1963 - I use a meater Plus most of the time on shorter cooks (4 hours or under) - It works great. On longer cooks I like to use my I-grill 3.

Dr_Pain Did it come with the case or did you get it separate?

Dr_Pain Darn you. I know I should’ve got the 4 instead if the 2. But, I think everyone is very happy with their very good but not cheap products.

I got the 4 over the 2 because with the discount of 10% for signing up as a new customer the difference was $26, about the cost of one probe

Ha. If it’s the only thing I wanted from them its days. As soon as my order ships. Nothing more disheartening than getting 10% off then getting an samspade2519@gmail.com a week later giving you 15

I just received an email from ThermoWorks. They are doing a 25% off flash sale on the Smoke Remote BBQ alarm thermometer. They also have 20% off on the Thermapen 1.

Yep. I have 2 thermapens, a time stick, a smoke, and a dot. Great products.

I have the Smoke 4x and this bad boy is plain awesome. I don’t know why it took me so long to make the purchase. My Thermapen is the best investment I’ve ever made. Not sure you need to spend the extra for the One. I think the MK4 on sale is a better value.
