CDN Touch Screen Probe Thermometer and Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I called the company to ask which thermometer to buy. I bought this one because -
1. It does NOT have preset temps. for rare, medium, well done... (we pull red meat, medium rare at 130 degrees). I want to just set the temperature and have it beep when the temperature is reached. This thermometer does that VERY NICELY.
2. The temperature range is past 500 degrees. I figured I had less likelehood of having problems with the thing dying in a hot oven if it had a higher temp range. The last probe thermometer I bought from another company lasted one, yes one use. It took me two years to buy another and so far, it is working like a champ.
3. The thermometer has a tougher wire than most and plugs into the unit with a stereo type plug (not easy to get to). If you pull, the probe unplugs instead of breaking.

The negative - no off and on switch; in order to save batteries you have to remove the back and the batteries..

So far, it has worked really well. The probe wraps nicely around the unit for storage. The digital readout is nice and large.

I find it interesting that the price point is lower because the unit does not have preset temps - a feature that I find annoying and useless anyway. Oh, well, I happily kept my money.

Time will tell if it can stand up to the heat...

Maverick Industries ET-73 Maverick RediChek Remote Wireless Smoker Thermometer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am an avid griller, BBQ'er and Smoker (year rounder, competitions, 15 pound meats etc...).I purchased this product after enjoying using the Williams/Sonoma remote probe temperature gage for quite some time.I now believe that a remote temperature gage is a must.

This particular product works as advertised and I am happy with it.I would describe it as average, nothing special.It seems to work well, has a decent transmitting distance (although I hear there was a bad batch out there that were very weak).The digits are large and easily readable in a glance.The alarm couldn't be louder.The back light is bright.And the probes seem high quality that will last a while.

However, it has a few annoying traits: 1) The on/off switch on the Transmitter is located behind the battery door which means you have to take off the battery door to access it, not a huge problem as the door access screw only takes a quick half turn with a penny or fingernail.2)Setting the Food and Smoker alert levels is also an annoying as the device only has one "adjust" button that scrolls up one degree at a time.This means that if you currently have a 180 degree setting (beef well done) and wish to change it to 140 degrees (beef rare) you must scroll the digits past the max setting 370 degrees (who cooks anything to this temperature?) around to the minimum setting, and if you miss it or forget to push enter you have to go all the way around again.It reminds me of the early digital alarm clock radios where if you passed 7 AM wake up time you had to go all the way past 7 PM to get back to 7 AM.The feature can be VERY annoying, especially since most other remote probes have both and UP and DOWN buttons, but they don't have the smoker temperature probe that this one does.

Overall I'd buy another one but I wouldn't pay too much for it.

Taylor 808 Weekend Warrior Programable Thermometer / Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit and used it one time in a smoker and everything worked perfectly. The next time I went to use it I found that the probe had failed. Replaced batteries and then checked probe with an ohmmeter and found it was open circuit. So it cost me $20 to cook one meal. My advice is to look elsewhere if you need a digital thermometer.
