I recently looked into an old thread about the "BlueTherm Duo" by Thermoworks because I'd like to find something that I can use with an iphone app but reading a less than one year old thread on the product changed my mind about it.

The unit appears to be built well but the bluetooth connection seems to be pretty weak and some of the posters were talking about losing connection past 30 ft.! If I'm going to spend $240 on a thermometer (whole starter kit) it'd better work well, in fact I'd like it to wash my car for me too! LOL!

It looks to me like the Maverick ET-732 is still the most reliable thing out there according to most posts that I've read but there are also many posts about problems with it's probes and on/off switches, so I've just continued using a cheap single probe unit that I bought at HEB.
This thing cost me about $13 or so, it is very accurate next to a reliable digital thermometer that I've used for years and it's now lasted over a year and a half. I can walk into my house and go up stairs with the receiver (well over 100 ft. and through walls) and still get a signal from it. (Here's one at Amazon that is very similar).

I look at this unit as a "throw away" tool that gets the job done but is one that I KNOW is cheap and that I EXPECT to crap out eventually but in the meantime isn't costing me anywhere from $60 to $250 to buy it. With this cheap little unit I get accurate readings, replacement probes are very inexpensive and it's easily replaceable when it does crap out (these things are in every box store).
This cheap little thing has already lasted longer than many of the Mavericks that people have bought and while it only has one probe it does give me an accurate IT on a piece of meat and can also be used to monitor pit temp as well. I think I'll just continue on with this until there is a TRULY reliable and durable unit to invest money into, that won't require handing over a valuable appendage or a first born male child to purchace.:shock::wink:
P.S. The CyberQ by BBQ Guru looks like a good unit but it's also pretty pricey.:-D
