 Nice ProductJan 03, 2007
By Jimmy D. Johnson

Since I have started using this unit I have cooked my best Thanksgiving turkey, my best Christmas ham and my best New Year's pork roast ever. The only reason it's not 5 star is that I've needed the booklet almost every time I've used it. The controls aren't difficult, but they aren't really intuitive either. I'd go 4-1/2 stars if I had the option.

Tragic flawJun 07, 2008
By Wayne A. Seltzer
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...)

 This is a wonderful product!Aug 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.

 Ok, but some flawsFeb 09, 2009
By Patrick Traynor
I guess the bottom line is that it does do the job, but...
150 foot range? Not with a hurricane at its back. With brand new batteries, mine is a bit inconsistent at 25' line of site or 10' through an interior wall. Also, you can't disable that loud voice. When I'm cooking a 5 lb roast beef, I don't want her yelling "YOUR FOOD IS ALMOST READY!!! YOUR FOOD IS ALMOST READY!!!" when it's 10 degrees under the target temperature. I slow cook, and that means I still have a good half hour to go. I'd prefer a nice old fashioned beep.
Also, it seems that if it doesn't get a signal for a while, it simply stops updating and the temperature changes to "---" without any audible warning. Now you've got to go back through the startup routine to find out what the current temperature is.

Worked great for a year and a half, but eventually the probe stopped reading the right tempertureAug 07, 2010
By WCM
"gadget guy"
The headline says it all. I bought a bunch of these from [...] a few years ago. We used them once a week and they work well. Only problem is that the probe no longer reads the right temperature. It is also annoying that replacement probes are $[...]/each. It would be nice if Amazon sold a two pack of the replacement probes for $12 w/Amazon prime shipping. That would be fair.
