RediCheck Remote Cooking Thermometer w/Taste Settings

I bought this remote thermometer to use with my Weber Smoker and can't be thankful enough! Let me start by saying that I read all the reviews and was very skeptical when purchasing this device due to other users complaints. I usually use a Polder probe thermometer to measure the temps when smoking but the only way to check it was to go outside, and I found that I was constantly running in and out. I decided to smoke two large pork shoulders on New's Years Eve night starting around 6pm and ending at around noon on New Years Day for a total of about 17 or 18 hours. Let me say I was not chained to my smoker one bit. I was able to enjoy my evening from inside while constantly monitoring temps. I kept it on my night stand and set the alarm to go off if the temps got too high. Needless to say it was around 35 degrees outside, very windy and then it began to snow very hard. I cannot praise this little device enough and it worked flawlessy. I was able to stay warm inside and only had to go outside a few times to add a little more charcoal and turn the roasts. For the price you cannot beat the convienence this thermometer offers. It was also very easy to figure out and use. Hopefully this will last many more smokes!

I have a 2 year old version of this product, which took a bit of getting used to...but now it is working out well. Initially I made the mistake of running one of the probe wires right over hot coals and I fried the electronics of my sending unit. I contacted Maverick and they were great about replacing it at no charge. Since then I've had no problems. There is that quirk mentioned in another review about the order in which the transmitter and receiver have to be turned(which I can't remember). I simply try it one way, then the other, need be. Temperature accuracy is good and the product has been reliable. Makes outdoor cooking a breeze and you'll never overcook..which most folks do because they're afraid of the opposite. Make sure the unit continues to receive once you begin. A blinking radar dish icon tells you the sending and receiving units are in touch. If the temperature of your receiving unit doesn't move progressively, be mindful to check for a signal.

I've had this digital remote thermometer for two years and have given at least ten of them as gifts and everyone I know swears by it. We wouldn't think of grilling expensive cuts of meat without it. It's also great for the oven. If you get it, keep the directions because you need to follow them closely, even though it is very simple to use. ENJOY!

Bought this and cooked chicken. The temp kept reading 130 degree and I kept on and on testing the chicken for the desired temp and never got the thing to read over 130. So my chicken was done 15 minutes ago and now it's dried out because the thermometer didn't read right.

I have this model and it is truly useful when I have meat in the smokers and I need to be inside tending to other things, or if I have meat in the oven and I need to know when it hits its internal temp. The temp probe goes in the meat and is wired to the base station. The monitor can travel with you or sit on a table top. It goes off when it hits the temp you program it for.

Takes all of the guess work out and saves steps.

So so easy and convenient!
