At what price would you buy a Thermapen?

charrederhead · Mar 26, 2015

I know I'm not the only Brethren who balks at pulling the trigger during a $74 open box sale, let alone paying the full $96.

Would you buy at $69?...$62.50?...$59?...????

People love them, absolutely love them. Me, I'd lose it, or drop it in the fire. lol

My experience with my Thermowand I bought for around $25 has been excellent. It may not be quite as fast (but within a second) as the Thermopen, but the accuracy is right there with it. It is durable and easy to read, and the size/length is sufficient for my uses.

So, to answer your original question, it would have to be around the same price range as it is just a tool to help me cook, and is not an absolute necessity like a smoker or grill or fuel for them.

Thats what the squishy shock proof glow in the dark magnetic cover is for.

Check out the Thermopop. I think they are a good value.

I'd pay $200 if that's what they were asking for them.

Cool so how does it handle being dropped in a 1500* fire? :razz:

Check out the RT600C from thermoworks. Its what I use. Thermoworks quality, accuracy, and still quick to pull a temp reading, albeit half a second slower than a thermopen. (Maybe, never actually used one so can't compare!) What sold me on the RT600 you ask?? The water resistant and splash proof build, the whole unit can go dishwasher top shelf no problem. Oh, and the $19 Amazon price tag to boot!! :grin:

How much would I pay for a thermopen?? No more than $20.

$40 or less anymore than that is farking the customer.

I got mine for Christmas I wouldn't pay more than the price of a thermopop. not sure why but I kind of like the thermopop better.

Pulled the trigger on a full price one... Whatever... I spend enough on meat, charcoal etc aleady... Just another drop in the BBQ bucket I suppose.

+1 for the Thermowand. I've had mine for awhile now and use it all the time. This last weekend I used it to spot check temps on oil while I was frying some stuff.

Love my Thermapen but added the Thermowand to my Amazon wish list.

At what price would you buy a Thermapen?
