Looking for a recomendation

[firefighter4634]

I currently have a Maverick redi chek ET-735. I haven't been happy with this unit due to it dropping its connection as soon as I walk inside the house. Looking for suggestions on a unit that will work some where besides outside and in line of site of the unit.


Thanks in advance!


Happy New Year!

Couldn't be more happy with the Fireboard. Sets you back close to 200 for the 6 channel.

Pit Masters don't need no stinkin' thermometers to monitor their cooks so I use the ThermoWorks Smoke.

Maverick XR-50
I had simular problems with 3 prior Maverick redi-cheks.
The XR-50 works great, $90. 4 probes. Reads inside the house where where no other remote units would work.
Magnetic back or hang or use stand.

Thermoworks stuff just "works" and they have great customer service.

+1 for the Smoke from Thermoworks. Had mine for over a year now and have had no problems at all. Used for a bunch of long cooks and haven't had to change batteries yet. Also dropped the main unit from about 6 feet directly on to concrete and it didn't hurt it at all

I have had the fireboard for a month now and it is incredible! I love watching the charts and being able to save data and be able to see what the cooker is doing while I am inside (14 and snowing out right now!).

If I didn't already have Thermoworks Smoke, I'd get Thermoworks Signals.

I have the Maverick 732 and the Thermoworks Smoke. I love the Smoke for ease of setup but if it has to go through more than one wall of the house, I lose signal constantly. My Maverick does better with reception than my Smoke.

I'm thinking of trying the Maverick XR-50.

I've had the Thermoworks Smoke for a couple years now and it works great. They are having a 20% off sale right now, I would jump on it. If you want the Gateway wifi unit to go with it, that's on sale too. https://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke

Sorry to be late to jump in, but Fireboard has never been a problem and with 6 ports, provided lots of options. Had mine nearly a year and use all the time. As stated, the charting is nice and I'd also recommend the competition probe as well as the standard, Shorter and good for chicken or ribs.

Thermopen and a clock. Wireless, unlimited probes and guaranteed to never lose connection.

Regardless of which specific brand and model, you want something that uses wi-fi instead of Bluetooth. That's assuming you have wi-fi in your house.

That's some solid, old school advice but ....

If the Fella is dead set on a remote thermo- he's probably not going to take your suggestion. :grin:

I'd go with EdF's suggestion... whatever it is, make sure it has wi-fi. I don't own any wireless thermos -bluetooth would be fine for my tiny, crackerbox house but some folks have nice property with distances/structures that are not bluetooth friendly.
