somebody shut me the fark up.
I had one and sold it.
It wasn't because it didn't work, but rather the distance from my smoking building to my home. You are limited to the Bluetooth capability of your smartphone.
Keep in mind it doesn't speak to a computer, or to a remote, just your smartphone when it is in the range of Bluetooth connection. If you stray from the house or yard you lose all connectivity to the device...
It worked well, but not with great distance for my application.

I too sold mine, I think it's a better oven toy due to the Bluetooth limitation. Get a maverick they have a long distance version now and mine is the previous version. It's puts the blutherm to shame on distance

It's really a matter of what you expect to get from it's use. Just because it didn't meet my needs, doesn't mean it's not a good device. Simply put it was a poor choice for my application, not a bad device. Simply put, I should have done my homework before choosing and buying it.
If your smoker is just outside the back door on the patio, it will probably work great. My problem was the distance of my smoking shed from the house (100+ feet).
Remember it is only capable of monitoring the pit/meat temperatures within Bluetooth range only on a smartphone (or other device that has Bluetooth connectivity) that is able to run the DuoTherm application.
Just to be clear: You cannot monitor it through an internet connection from anywhere outside of Bluetooth range.
It is very accurate and there is a wide variety of probes available to use.

Maverick it is, at least for me... thanks for the advice
I love Thermoworks, but I wish they made something like this that uses radio technology like the Maverick.

I have one and Love it charts temps on slow cooks, Bluetooth is limited but I found a way around that if you have apple tv leave the device near the smoker and mirror the image on you tv. I usually am within range of it and love how it works.
