New wirless thermometer..

I wish I could find my post, but I can't. Before I bought my Maverick I decided on another brand, it looked a lot better. I ordered it but it never came. About 5 months after they contacted me and said it was in stock. I already had both my Mavericks.

There aren't a whole lot of choices.  What I don't like is no temp program - just pick meat and degree of doneness.  Those are useless in my mind.  On the you-set-the temp and wireless,  had an Acurite for several years that was very reliable, it died when I dropped it for the XX time.  They have a single probe wireless model that is entirely temp program (no pre-stored temps) for $32 at Amazon.  Here's a link to the Amazon page.

Yeah, it looks like I will just have to find a decient non-wireless unit, and be happy with that. I was liking not have to run out every hour to check temps though. But if you cant reley on a product, why buy again.
I bought a Bradley because it works, and it will last a while. In the past I owned a ECB, which doesnt work all that well, so I got rid of it.... I like to own things that work even if they do cost more, reliability is worth the extra cost.

Well, my ET-73 still works - knock on wood.

I have arthritis and didn't want to to keep running around checking the smoker.  The PID I got relieves me from constantly checking the cabinet temp.

Then it's an estimate of cooking time.  I have a wired Oneida (cheap) that I've used for years in the grill, oven and smoker.  It still works.  Then check it from time to time.

But, as I said, the ET-73 still works and makes life easier for keeping track of the IT.

I liked mine untill it quit on me... If it worked I'd still be using it... I just don't plan on buying another based on the life span of the one I own now.

Was it this one: Nu-Temp  NU-701

If not someone did, and it was on back order. A little pricey, but a lot of options. You can be monitoring meats being cooked in several different devices.

I can go on and on about buying thermometers. Seem to have little to no luck with them lasting anytime.
I also wish thermoworks made an affordable remote thermometer.

Maybe if we get enough people together we could
get thermoworks to work a deal?
I have a new smoker coming and could use
a couple of good dual probes.

I would gladly jump on that bandwagon.

This is the country of law suits

Maybe a class action on Maverick?  We all get $1.23.   >:(

I see they are still out of stock. ???

I know, I just checked it again. I can't understand that, how can they keep running out. Hire more people - we need the jobs and they need the business.

..... or the people they hired didn't make them very good and they are having problems with them.

Ok, let me re-phrase - hire more competent people.  ;D
