After struggling with cheap slow and unreliable therms I finally decided to get a thermopen and went their site and seen the RT 600 was only $19 (or $16 can't remember right now) but the shipping was $19. It didn't make sense to pay as much for shipping as the product I was getting so I added the special edition Maple Leaf to the order and the shipping was still only $19 plus with that order they threw in a free (my favorite price) oral therm. It arrived yesterday. ;D



This combined with my new Maverick dual probe should give me more reliable temp readings.

Awesome, That maple leaf makes it open twice as fast. ;D I used a wireless piece of carp from Walmart for about 1-1/2 years before I upgraded to the maverick 732 then another year until I purchased a Teal Thermopen. Now at least I now when my meats done :)

I know what you mean. I bought a wireless therm from Superstore and it was supposed to be good to 100 feet. But mine was good to about 10 feet. Any more and the signal would get lost every once in a while. With the Maverick I took the receiver out to my shop while I was doing some work and the thing never skipped a beat. I didn't believe it would work with the signal having to go through both walls of my house and then through the wall of my shop that is about 80' from the house but it did. I even took the receiver back through the house just make sure I was getting the same readings that were showing on the sending unit. I am very impressed with the Maverick. ;D
