Tragic flaw June 7, 2008

Great idea, but be careful about transmission range.
If the receiver is too far away from the transmitter, or is otherwise unable to get a signal, the display
doesn't inform you of this problem. So, if the temperature is 150 degrees, and you walk out of range, the temperature
won't update. Meanwhile, your BBQ is burning and you don't know.
It would be great if the receiver beeped to indicate that it hasn't received a temperature update
in the last 30 seconds or so. Then, you would know need to get back into range.
But, as long as you're sure that you are always in range, the device works well.
Another gripe... Turning the device on requires a specific sequence:
1. Turn on the receiver
2. Turn on the transmitter, within 30 seconds
Otherwise, the receiver won't pair with the transmitter and you won't get updates.
And, if you turn the receiver or transmitter off then on, you won't get updates either.
(So, don't do that...)

"IN THE BEGINING" (as God said)
this item was great. i cooked my best turkeys and lamb loins(wasnt really paying attention that i couldnt take the reciever more than 5ft away) but now i am constantly frustrated with the distance that i cant use it and that i never know if im in its range, although there has only been one mishap

As far as operation of the unit, so far it seems to work well. I was really disappointed in the naming of this unit. I was expecting a truely wireless thermometer. When received there is still a wired probe. The only thing that is wireless is the receiver. I am still waiting for a company to create a thermometer with a wireless probe. Will it ever be done??
 This is a wonderful product! August 26, 2007

I have cooked many steaks and a couple of briskets to perfection with this device.
The range has proved adequate at my house, where I am approximately 35 feet away from my smoker or grill with one wall in between.
It is important to follow the instructions and pair the base station with the remote monitor (similar to bluetooth and and cell phones) or they will not talk to each other.

I purchased this in January and finally got a chance to use it for Easter. It never registered a reading from the meat I was cooking. Now I'm stuck with an expensive timer. If you're thinking of purchasing this wireless thermometer, think twice!
