I think you recommend a thermometer to read the meat temp. What kind is easy to use and accurate?

I just picked one up. It works great. Here is the web
site.

Anybody seen one in their wide internet travels that has a remote range of over 100 yards? Pricey or not, I want one good for a quarter-mile!

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?
I've never seen one that reaches 100 yards,only 100 feet.

The Maverick/Redi Chek with the dual probes is working fine for me.
Smoking outside in the heat and I'm in here posting with the AC on with no worries[:p]...Life is good![:)]

One more vote for the Maverick Redi-Chek. I just bought one, and have used it on three occasions in the last two weeks. Most recently today (July 21) with a new receiver.
The one I bought was faulty: as others here have reported, its range was a pathetic 20-25 feet. One quick call to Maverick set it straight. They sent me a replacement receiver (yes, receiver, not transmitter) and the new one has the expected range. It works beautifully, and I love having the dual probes.
The only "problem" is speed: it takes so <i>long</i> for pulled pork to climb those last 20 degrees!
