Amazon.com Review
Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer. You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously, since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire.

Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds.

Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of both is possible. --Fred Brack

Product Description
This is the ONLY remote meat / barbecue thermometer that can monitor 2 types of meat or 2 doneness levels (i.e. rare, medium, well done, etc.). Just insert one or both probes into your favorite cuts of meat and select how want them cooked. When the meat is cooked exactly to your liking, the receiver will let you know by beeping. Both the receiver and the transmitter (which is attached to the probes) display the progressive meat temperature in 5-second intervals on their easy-to-read LCD screens. The receiver also displays a clock and timer. Suitable for outdoor barbecue or indoor oven use, this dual-probe wireless barbecue thermometer system makes the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking! Use it to get perfectly cooked beef, chicken, fish, pork, lamb or any other common grill meats. Uses 2 AAA and 2 AA batteries (not included).

5 out of 5 stars Bar b que thermometer   August 28, 2008
Donald J. Muns (Tiburon Ca)
This cooks the best meat nothing is over done and with 2 probes you can't beat it. You don't have to stand there watching food. Directions are a little confusing but if I can figure it out you can


1 out of 5 stars Lousy, Lousy, Lousy!   August 25, 2008
J. Johnson (Ohio)
I recently bought myself a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker, and wanted to get a wireless thermometer for monitoring pork, chicken & other goodies during "low...slow" cooking.

I started with a Walmart unit with a single probe, but the range just plain sucked. It couldn't transmit from the smoker on the back porch to inside the house very well at all. We're only talking 30-40 feet, versus the claimed range of "up to 100 feet."

I returned that one, and got a super-duper Maverick Redi-Chek ET-7 off Amazon.com. That one has 2 probes (so I can measure the temp of the item being cooked, while tracking temperature inside the cooker itself. The wireless range, however, is even lousier than the Walmart unit.

It may be just fine if you're willing to stand within 30-40 feet (clear line of sight) of the smoker, but if you dare go inside your house, the ET-7 receiver loses its connection with the transmitter. Of course, as others have noted, there's no OBVIOUS signal that the temperatures being displayed by the receiver are the temps from before signal was lost.

Yes, if you're observant, you can stare at the receiver for 2 minutes (don't blink, or you'll miss it!), checking for the blinking "satellite dish" symbol to show that it's still linked with the transmitter.

After losing the connection between the transmitter & receiver, if you DARE to try & re-establish the link, you've got to go back to the smoker. Then, shut off the transmitter & receiver. Then, turn on the receiver to "operate", and within 60 seconds (thou shalt not count to 65...memories of Monty Python's "Holy Hand Grenade"), turn on the transmitter.

GREAT! Now you've got a link re-established. Sit within a few feet of the smoker and you can trust the temperature readings. If you dare move, however, all bets are off.

At nearly $40 (twice the price of the Walmart unit), I had hoped for a whole lot better. This is a poor excuse for a "remote" thermometer.



5 out of 5 stars Great Wireless Thermometer   August 23, 2008
Jim Bob (Kansas City, MO USA)
I have purchased a couple wireless thermometers before and none compare to this one.

The 2 probe system is great. Even if you are not not smoking two different meats you can still use the 2nd probe for ambient temperature.

The manual was a little weak but not horrible. Reception is good and having a temp readout on both the transmitter and receiver is a nice touch.




4 out of 5 stars Great for slow smoking.   August 18, 2008
Leonard R. Rust (Greenbrier, AR USA)
Works great for use with a smoker. Allows you to easily monitor large cuts for doneness without having to open the smoker and loose smoke and heat.


4 out of 5 stars Is it done?   July 29, 2008
Alfie Armadeus (VA)
A great little device for those who are not comfortable with "guessing" if food is ready. This thermometer takes the "guessing" out of the equation.
