ThermoPro TP08 500FT Wireless Meat Thermometer for Grilling Smoker BBQ Grill Oven Thermometer with Dual Probe Kitchen Cooking Food Thermometer

Honestly, it looks cheap, it feels a little cheap, and the beeper on mine sounds like an injured bird, but the bottom line is this thing simply works! I've used it a half dozen times in my smoker and it has performed flawlessly. The hi/lo temperature alarms work well and it is reasonably easy to program. The temp probes tested accurate within a degree of my professional digital thermometers I use for my job. I have had no range issues with mine and have had a consistent signal throughout my house, even through several walls. I even keep the receiver with me on my riding mower when mowing my acre and a half property and it doesn't matter what side of the house I am on, I never lose signal.The negative.....The plastic belt clip/desk stand on the receiver could be a bit beefier and it feels like I'm going to break it at some point. I agree with other reviewers in that it's a minor pain that there is no temp down buttons and you have to scroll all the way around again to reset a lower temperature.In all, I am happy with this unit. Time will tell how it holds up but for the price, I am pleasantly surprised how well it performs.*****UPDATE******Well after about 25 cooks over a few months time both temp probes went out within a week of each other. I only use these in my smoker at less than 250 degrees F and never on a grill. I handle the probes with care and never get them wet so I was disappointed when they both failed at almost the same time after a relatively short time span. Also, prior to the probes not working, my unit began to randomly show me temperatures 400 degrees higher than it was then go back to normal. I assume that was an indication of the probe(s) beginning to fail but hard to say. When both probes failed they would either register no temperature at all or would read 30-40 degrees low. On a positive note, I contacted the company and they quickly sent me a new transmitter unit and two new temp probes which are all working fine for now. I am leaving my review at five stars for now since the company has been very responsive and that is hard to find these days. I cannot complain about the customer service I received. Time will tell however, if the new probes and unit hold up.******UPDATE TO THE UPDATE!!******4/4/2018 and another 25 or so cooks down in the pellet smoker since the last probes failed and BOTH probes have gone out AGAIN within the past few weeks! Same problems as before and I am very gentle with these things. The company just sent me two new probes and those are working fine, for now. I am still pleased with the thermometer in general and as long as the probes are working, everything works very well, and the company is responsive so still keeping five star review. Good thing there is a lifetime warranty on probes!

I just bought my second one of this wireless meat thermometer. I have two homes and wanted one at both. I've been using the first one for several years and it works great, still on the original set of batteries. The signal carries all throughout my home and I can be in the garage which is in the front and still get a signal from my back patio. It works, period, and is so nice to not have to baby sit my smoker through the day, or even the night, when I'm using it. Yes, I have used it at night also when smoking a large piece of meat. Set the high and low temp alarms, it will wake you up if the smoker needs attention. What is great about this is I can also use it in my kitchen oven. Insert a probe into a turkey, chicken, roast, or even pies...run the metal cable out the oven door and leave the sending unit on the counter. The oven still seals tightly and I can cook whatver I'm doing to the perfect temperature. I mentioned pies - no need to guess if the pie is done by color of the crust. I can monitor the internal temp, no more runny fruit pies or unset custards. Worth every penny this costs. If you grill, smoke, or use your kitchen oven and want precision, you NEED this!

I purchased this remote thermo because it lacked the significant percentage of negative reviews of other popular ones. Very pleased with this product.Works as advertised. Pairs without problems (many report problems with others).Great tool which allows you to accurately hit finishing temps without opening the BBQ and losing heat.Lots of pros already posted in reviews, so below are some of my cons:- Biggest: Temp settings increment up only. Inconvenient, esp if you overshoot your target temp and have to wrap all the way around again...- Alarm icons are small and its easy not to notice you dont have the alarm on- Oven high temp alarm cannot be set to low temps. For example, when cold smoking cheese, I want to know if temp exceeds 150F...no can do.- Curved food probe. Not sure why they do this, but can make it inconvenient to position inside BBQ and to stow.- Probe connections not marked to indicate which port is for food probe and which for BBQ probe. Minor, but inconvenient first few times as you have to look at product image to see which port to use.- On/Off button on remote is easily activated with just a light quick touch...can turn on easily in storage or off accidentally.- Multi function buttons are not intuitive as some functions not labelled on them.It would be a great enhancement to be able to save alarm profiles and recall them later. For example, save a profile for a food type (brisket, ribs, fish, cheese...) and then recall it later rather than having to set it all up manually again (with that inconvenient increment only navigation).Update March 8, 2016:Still very pleased with this product after many uses.Updated info re temp ranges:At least on the unit I have, documemted temp range settings vary from actual. Table below shows documented vs actual respectively.Food HI: 32 - 572F, 32 - 573FBBQ HI: 140 - 572F, 227 - 573FBBQ LO: 32 - 554F, 225 - 349FMy personal preference would not be to have arbitrary ranges, but allow the full range of temps from at least 0 - 575F. This would make the device more flexible and allow me to set whatever values are appropriate for what Im trying to do.For example, the BBQ temp ranges on my device make it useless for cold smokingA question was asked regarding using for beer brewing (on model 07, but my response below pertains to the 08). There are applications where this device could be used, especially if manufacturer would eliminate these arbitrary range limits. As is, only the "Food HI" range is relevant to brewing. For example, mash temps range from 145F to 165F so it could be used to monitor mash temps. Fermentation temps range from about 32F to 65F so could be used for monitoring ferm temps too.Question for vendor, can I update the firmware on my device so it matches documented temp ranges? Better yet, can you supply a version that eliminates these arbitrary limits?December 2016 Update:One full year and still very pleased with this product. Did have one temp probe go inaccurate on me. Bought a couple of replacement probes and so far no more failures. So, good to do occassional sanity checks on displayed temps to catch a malfunctioning probe.

This is great. I thought that I might have had an issue with one of the probes and contacted the company and they got right back and suggested a check of the probes in boiling water and the sensors read exactly right. It might have been inserted to close to the edge and might have read incorrectly. My bad. I'll keep a watch on them as this was the first time I had used it. But great customer service. I love to be able to keep an eye on the temperature without having to open the lid of my grill/smoker. GREAT PRODUCT!!
