MJ: I've had a few products like this over the years. This one is the best.... so far.

It often takes a long time and a lot of resets to get the connection between the components to connect. Now that it's a couple of years old, I'm having programming issues with it, as well.

I do think it's a good product, but it appears to have a short shelf life. I'm shopping for a new unit now, but doing it in person, rather than by mail. Amazon did their job of delivering it perfectly, so I do not fault them. It's just the product, itself, that isn't perfect. So, my search goes on for the perfect one.

andrea l. brewer: This thermometer makes it so much easier to monitor food for the right temperature without hovering over the grill or sticking your head in a hot oven! Easy to program, and the wireless timer and thermometer work flawlessly! Make the perfect medium rare steaks and burgers, cook pork to the exact recommended temperature, all with super ease and no more guessing!

David: Works great , I but I also found the probe much to large. I just used a smaller probe from another meat thermometer I have it it works

Johnazon: Works great. Good length on the cord. The cord has a metal coating and is safe even touching a hot smoker for hours.

I saw other reviews saying it displays the temperature wrong; I’ve double-checked the temp that’s displayed on this unit against my metal temp gauge, and against my other electronic temp gauge multiple times and they matched, so I’m pretty confident this is reading temps accurately. Those people may need to replace the batteries in their units.

It only has two shortcomings, however they’re so annoying that I don’t use the indoor remote unit very much.

I hate the blinking. The description says it turns colors, it actually turns color and blinks the entire time and you can NOT stop it from blinking. One star off for the constant blinking.

Also the remote unit beeps constantly when it hits the preset temperature. This should be easier to disable. I don’t need it to beep all the darn time. A second star off for the stupid beeping that you cannot disable.

Updated 2/2020: I’ve used it many times, I was new to smoking in 2019. It’s great to help you learn to gauge the amount of time to smoke meats, however reaching the...

This is probably my fifth thermometer. I've had a variety of Mavericks purchased from the grilling aisle of your local hardware store. They were never able to handle the range from my pergola, where my BBQ and smoker are located. It's maybe 40 feet, through a window to my kitchen. The last Maverick, I would place on the window sill for it to maintain a spotty connection and that was at most 25 feet. I had gotten to where I was using a non wireless device, a Taylor to monitor my brisket cooks. Yes, I would have to walk outside every half hour.

Now the ThermoPro. I took the probe and transmitter to my smoker, my farthest cooker, and the receiver works great. In the kitchen, 50 feet away, and through glass, it reliably read the temperature. As the probe acclimated to to the outside temperature, the receiver started flashing blue as the temperature increased 10 degrees. Some have noted that the flashing is annoying. It is not. If the device kept the light on, the battery life would be halved. When the light comes on, the display becomes very readable at distance. I don't know how the flashing...
