Thanks

Also have the et-73, more is better right? [:p]
Do you have a preference between the 7 and the 73 Bighoof?
Here is the Maverick site:http://www.maverickhousewares.com/thermometers/remote_therm.htm
I am looking for the best place to buy online right now. Some places don't ship internationally.

The 73 is the one that crapped out on me within a couple of weeks....
Dow,
Did you s---can it, or do you still have your 73? Always on the hunt for parts!

I am now in the process of trying to get my Maverick 73 to work and let me say the company is great, but I now have 3 complete units and one extra remote and none of them work the way they should. What happens is that after some time the remote unit(s) go blank except for 3 dashed lines after this happens I have to reset the 2 units. I even went as far as to put the remotes just 5 foot away from the sending unit the dashed lines still come I have even had all 4 remotes going at the same time all went off at different times. The only thing I can come up with is there is a radio station close and this may cause interference.

Three steps to Maverick magic:
Change the batteries in both units-the ones that come with it are almost dead.
Turn on the base unit first (The one with the probes). The remote unit cannot recognize the sender unless it is turned on first.
Then turn on the receiver.
If then not working get replacement parts utilizing their warranty.

It's gonna add a week or so to the process and you will wind up paying double shipping, but it will get you your thermo.
I can see not shiping to England, but Canada????????

Thunder,
Up until last weekend, I was extremely happy with my purchase from Rodeo Shack. I forget the brand, but it was $20CAD. Unfortunately it calved out on me and Pi--ed me off good because I was having trouble smoking some sausage and the thermo breaking was the last straw so to speak.
Anyway, RS sells a single probe digital thermo, that I was really happy with for awhile, and you get it on the cheap. If you go to //www.radioshack.ca and search for digital thermometer, it will show up with a few outside temp type thermos...there's only one cooking one.
Because I had trouble, I cant stamp with my [:D]WT[:D] happy stamp of approval, BUT its a good cheap alternative for now until you find the time, cash, or resources to get a Maverick.

I talked to a lurker tonight from remote Ontario, who hopefully will start sharing his knowledge with us. He relayed to me that the ?Candian Institute for the Blind? will deliver to your door cheaper than any retail outlet.
I'm not sure what models they offer, or the circumstances needed to order, but it's a possible source, eh?

Thanks for all the info,went to Radio Crap(Shack) and bought 2 of there's.Whitetail,I took the 3 year warranty on 1 of them for $4.00 and will gamble.1 for meat sensor and 1 for box sensor [:)]
I know this will work better than some old 2" clamps hooped too gether backwards.
Whitetail.....ever find that Diamond Willow I had mentioned?
By the way Deman hold the C/F for more than 2 sec and it will go to Imperial messurments [8D] [8D] [8D] I think it will be slick!!!!
Thunder,
What's the regular warranty like (not the 3 yr extra cost), hopefully I can take mine back and get another unit. I just have not found the time. When it was working it was working great, definitely changes the way you smoke, or at least your consistency because you can get accurate internal temps without opening the door[}:)]which causes more cook time. Before I just had a dial probe, digital is way better!
The two inch clamp thing had nothing to do with thermometers, it was someones solution to blank advancing pucks (bubba puck substitute).
No, I have not heard of diamond willow. In one of the topics, someone talked about do it yourself pucks and the general concensus was that it would be way too difficult or cost ineffective to bother. But if you find a solution, it would be fun to try some other flavours, I have not even been through the full spectrum of what Bradley offers now.

Whitetailfan,1 year on the thermometer/2" puck thing,me /Diamond Willow,me again [:D].If you do get up north(Redwater or further) look for it in damp locations.Easy to ID as it has Diamond shapes on the bark enjoy
Hey Thunder,
Ya sorry I forgot it was you that came up with the clamp idea, I just wasn't thinking at the time. Regarding the diamond willow thing, I know that you were the one who mentioned it, what I was trying to point out was that no one seems to be able to build pucks well or at least cost efficiently as per this thread, sorry I couldn't find it before.

Here we go...First a pic of the butt before cooking (about an hour out of the fridge)
(http://81k.org/ipw-web/gallery/albums/album01/butt_before_cooking.sized.jpg)
Nice touch...has a magnet on the back...I can see the ambiant temp of the BS and the internal meat temp through the kitchen window(I also tested the door thermometer with the probe inside at same level while pre-warming the BS and found both were exactly the same temp during process so I can now trust the door thermometer)I am obviously not a good enough photographer to keep my shadow out of pic [:o)]
(http://81k.org/ipw-web/gallery/albums/album01/thermometer_on_door.sized.jpg)
Now the finished product. I smoked the butt with 3/1 apple to hickory pucks for 4 hours at 225 deg. starting at 5:30 PM. The ambient temp rose to 275 over the next 2 hours while I was out and the internal had reached 150 deg so I cut the temp back to 210 and set the alarm for 185 deg. and went to bed. The alarm woke me up shortly after 6:00 AM at which time I wrapped and coolered the butt and went to work. I returned at about 3:00 PM and checked the internal temp which was 126 deg. I removed the butt from the cooler, turned the BS on to 150 deg and put the tin foiled wrapped butt back in until dinner. (http://81k.org/ipw-web/gallery/albums/album01/butt_after_cooking.sized.jpg)
Removed at 6:00 PM..130 deg.. pulled and feasted with the neighbours. Was incredible. I still am going to get a Maverick as I really like the remote idea and the ability to monitor and alarm both temps but this one did the job...don't know how anyone can smoke without one.

Nice pics of the next-best tight butt! [8D]
Your reference to the correct temp is not consistent with most folks complaining about the variation of the real temp and the temp on thermometer in the door. I have a "late model" SS edition too, and my Guru and Maverick show the door temp is right on. Maybe the quality of the temp probe has gone up.
Bill
I also found the door gauge to be bang on to the digital +/- a few degree's but close enough to say "maybe the digital is out" [^]
Deman how did you get that magnet to stick to the stainless door.Stainless steel is non ferrous ? [?]
Touched it to door....it stayed there..(magic maybe?[:D])

After my 3rd use I got a new one under warranty.Was hopeing for a little better preformance.Was looking at Lee Valley(yes woodworking) x-mas book and they also one have avalible[?]
Hey Thunder if yours crapped out[}:)] like mine did maybe its a bogus thermo. Tell me more about this other one you found.....
