Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Wireless Meat Thermometer for BBQ Grill and Smoker - ThermoFuture Long Range Temperature Monitor (40M-50M) by Maria Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This is a much better design than many other wireless meat thermometers / UPDATE: ...but it still works!

This is a much better design than many other cordless meat thermometers. I had a RediCheck thermometer that worked well too. But RediCheck required the batteries to be inserted into the transponder through the screw-secured housing, rather than through the hinged opening of most battery compartments. This was super annoying as every time I wanted to use the thermometer I had to find a small Phillips screwdriver to pry open the transponder cover. ThermoFuture has flip holes for transponders and receivers. ThermoFuture works very well. I don't use any preset meat settings, instead setting my own temperature to suit the recipe I'm cooking. But I'm sure it's helpful for those who don't know what the internal temperature of the meat should be. Update November 10, 2015: After almost a year of using this thermometer and happy with the results, the thermometer is ready to use. act tonight. The recorded temperature suddenly started to show one chicken was 500 degrees Fahrenheit and a few minutes after I put the chicken on the grill (and it was still cold) beeped constantly. I tried resetting the device by turning off the transmitter and receiver, but that didn't help. I have replaced the batteries. It didn't help. In short, something went wrong with the circuit. Maybe it was a metal extension that gets the heat straight from the grill? Maybe it's an internal circuit? I have no idea and the device gives no error messages. It's a shame, because until this evening I really liked this device. After seeing other reviewers have had similar experiences, I suspect I'll look elsewhere for a more reliable wireless thermometer. In short, I am very satisfied with this thermometer (if now the manufacturer stops leaving positive or negative comments after each rating, then users can form their own opinion about the product).

Pros
  • WARNING. Only insert the probe into the meat, the transmitter must be outside the oven. You can deliver the remote control device within the specified range or distance. DO NOT EXCEED 250ยฐC OVEN TEMPERATURE
