This is useful and fun, what more could you ask ? You can use one or two probes. The probes are connected to the transmitter, you then turn on the remote, then the transmitter. I use it for everything, steaks, chops, whatever. I go into the living room and watch the remote. When the temperature gets over about 100 I turn the meat over if necessary. The only thing I have noticed is the temperatures that trigger the audible alarm are set too high, likely thanks to lawyers. For example, when I set it to medium rare for beef, it was more like medium. Now I set it on rare ( 140 ) and get a perfect medium rare. For pork the number is 170. I take it off at 160. After all, it continues to cook after it is taken off. Before I bought this I used to guess but now I get perfect results every time. Highly recommended.

This thing is very handy. I am just getting the hang of a new smoker, and bought this so I did not have to be chained to the smoker on hot summer days.
I put one probe in the smoker to measure heat temp, and the other in a pork shoulder. It alternates back and forth between the two, constantly keeping me update. the convenience is awesome. Allows me to work on my computer and take care of customers while I smoke my meat.
This is the first time I’ve used it, so I don’t know about battery life, but regardless, it is great. The radio reception works great through an outside and one interior wall.

Great product, I can have a steak and chicken on at the same time and don’t have to keep going back to the BBQ to check if they are done. The down side is that it goes through batteries quickly but with rechargeable not a major problem.

I was hesitant to buy given some of the reviews, but it seems to work well. Temps from the two probes are within 1-2 degrees of each other, and the signal gets through to the receiver which is about 40 feet away inside the kitchen. I thought at first it wasn’t working, but it seems as if the unit only transmits when the temperature changes. So if you are testing it and it’s just sitting outside and the temperature is stable, it looks like it’s not working. It does occasionally miss a transmission, so the receiver might be a few degrees off from the transmitter, but then it seems to catch up on the next transmission ten or twenty seconds later. This is not the best way to design this, but it seems to work well enough. The controls are a little clunky, hence the 4 stars, but it does seem to work for me. Also, you can customize the settings for doneness, despite reviews to the contrary, but you have to read the instructions and realize that there are two temperature tables — actually it’s quite flexible. It does lose all the settings including the time of day if you turn it off, but there’s a standby mode that only runs the clock. Again, not the best design, and they could probably have made it more robust for another $5, but it works well as a basic temperature monitor, and is sure beats running in and outside all day to monitor the smoker temperature.

This transmitter works flawlessly. The dual-probes let you track two meats – or if you are like me and like to cook things at low (200-250 degree) temperatures it is invaluable to free you from having to sit next to the grill the whole time.
You can set your own custom temperature you want it to alert you at – if none of the presets work (in my case I just set one of them up to beep if it goes above 275 – so I know it is getting too hot…)
Unlike other wireless transmitters – this one is rated up to 500 degrees… and if it gets out of range it will display “HHH” instead of just frying itself like other brands probes. If a probe should ever go bad – Maverick will replace it for free (instructions in the box tell you where to mail it to)
The only reason this thermometer doesn’t get 5 stars is because the interface is not completely intuitive… You really do have to read the manual to figure out how to do basic things like reset the countdown timer, or set the clock. The other thing keeping it from being a 5-star unit is the lack of setting a “temperature floor” that you want it to beep if it gets “below” which would be useful for when I’m using it as a gril thermometer.
The few drawbacks aside: this is an excellent unit that works wonderfully well. Heck – it even comes with batteries! Buy it today and you wont regret it.
