keep an eye on the probe connector wire where it slides into the probe...

i had a polder like that... had 3 probe failures... all 3 times it was the connector wire where it slides into the probe...

other than that i liked it...

you gotta eat...

If it's the polder dual probe, they have been given bad reviews by many customers on Amazon.com; all about probe failures. I believe there have been at least one thread discussing their failure rate. Hopefully they got the problem(s) worked out.

O.K. so I am a gadget guy.
Got the dual probe Polder.  Have had it for many months now with no problems.  Works well.  The thing I like most about it is the cab temp is taken right at the area of the meat so I know exactly what the meat is experiencing (except for the side to side or front to back depending on the probe location). 
I also have the Thermalpen.  In my humble opinion, this is not a gadget, it is a real tool.  Complete with calibration certificate.  It is instantaneous and can measure very thin cuts of meat since the actual sensor is in the very tip of the probe.
The only problem now is I have no excuses. :-\

Giz

you always have an excuse.

Quality of meat, amount of rub / seasoning, ambient temps, volume of fat / collegen, consistent power, breezes, temps of cooler in FTC, FTC time length, amount of time out of cryovac, lenght of time from butcher, etc...

Thinking about all of these factors, many of which we have few controls over, you are indeed a magician that needs to continue to experiment and be able to develop strategies and controls to establish some levels of consistent results.  

And non-clear liquid beverages to help this magic application.  Single Batch is always a good choice.

hmm arcs.  The beverage it the 6th control factor.  Maybe is has more meaning than we think. 

How good of a result do you get after 2 drinks or after 4.  how about when during cooking process...

Ok.  Overthinking this.  I need another drink.

Actually I find having mass liquid quantities for the masses helps everyone see (taste) things the same way and after that, it doesn't matter.   ;)
