Product Description
How many times have you watched the guests at your summer barbecue enjoy all the fun while you're slaving over the grill making sure the chicken or chops don't turn to charcoal? Now you can cook and mingle at the same time with the Dual-Probe Remote BBQ Thermometer! This electronic cooking assistant keeps an eye on your steaks and burgers while you rub elbows with your guests up to 100 feet away! This is the ONLY remote meat / barbecue thermometer that can monitor 2 types of meat or 2 doneness levels (i.e. rare, medium, well done, etc.). Just insert one or both probes into your favorite cuts of meat and select how want them cooked. When the meat is cooked exactly to your liking, the receiver will let you know by beeping. Both the receiver and the transmitter (which is attached to the probes) display the progressive meat temperature in 5-second intervals on their easy-to-read LCD screens. The receiver also displays a clock and timer. Suitable for outdoor barbecue or indoor oven use, this dual-probe wireless barbecue thermometer system makes the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking! Use it to get perfectly cooked beef, chicken, fish, pork, lamb or any other common grill meats. Uses 2 AAA and 2 AA batteries (sold separately).

Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer. You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously, since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire. Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds. Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of both is possible. --Fred Brack

The remote would not work when it was right next to the transmitter. The instruction say don't submerge the probe when cleaning, how are you supposed to clean it after 12 hours of apple smoke. Sitting on the counter the probe reads 105
Things to know July 17, 2010

In common with several other folk I initially thought that the wireless operation was, at best, flaky, otherwise no good at all. With a probe attached to the transmitter I switched on the receiver, then the transmitter. The receiver displayed the probe temp just fine. After a short time the little antenna symbol on the receiver screen (which indicates wireless reception) stopped showing, it seemed that the wireless link had stopped working.
By a process of trial and error, putting the probe in and out of a saucepan of hot water, I worked this out:
1. When the probe temperature has stabilized, the transmitter will only transmit the reading about once per minute. A change of a degree or so does not trigger a transmission, so the transmitter and receiver can show a difference of a few degrees, which is generally insignificant. The receiver only updates when a transmission is received.
2. When the temperature changes by more than a few degrees (I haven't found the exact figure but it could be as much as 5 degrees) transmissions are triggered every 2 to 3 seconds until the temperature stabilizes again, then it goes back to once a minute. Every transmission is indicated by an antenna symbol on the transmitter screen, and a red LED on the transmitter flashes.
3. In open air I easily got a range of 50 feet in a straight line, but simple obstacles can block reception. I have some wrought-iron railings down some steps from the house to the patio, and arranging the transmitter on one side of the steps and taking the receiver to the other side resulted in no reception, the railings blocked the signal. In spite of the comment in the user instructions about using the probes in a barbecue then taking the receiver indoors, I found that this does not work, the transmission is too weak to penetrate walls (wood frame, plywood/stucco outside, sheetrock inside). With the probe in the water and the receiver outdoors, both units displayed 95 degrees. I tool the receiver indoors then took the probe out of the water. 5 minutes later the receiver still indicated 95 while the transmitter said 71. I took the receiver outside again and waited; nearly a minute later the receiver updated to 71 - I must have just missed a transmission.
My conclusion is that this device does work after all, with limitations. The wireless transmission is only reliable in straight unobstructed lines, and will not work through walls (a major drawback). And remember - if the temperature is fairly constant the system only updates about once a minute.

Bought this thermometer to use with a recently purchased propane smoker. Since temperature control is critical in smoking I thought having the capability to monitor remotely would be ideal. The device is accurate and easy to set and use, my chief complaint is that the signal from transmitter to receiver was lost at least twice each time I used it so far. Distance was not a factor as the smoker was on my patio and the receiver was in the kitchen 24 feet and one wall away. I tried rechargeable ni-cad batteries but it didn't make any difference, signal was still lost. I can live with the inconvenience of resetting the device since my primary concern is smoker temp as opposed to meat temp (I time the cook and check with a digital hand held when the time is up), but the point is that the device does not perform as claimed.
I would not recommend this device unless you can get a good price on it. I paid about $44 for it so it didn't break me.
 Bought two. Both don't work. July 16, 2010

I purchased two of these because I run multiple grills and smokers and would like to be able to maintain multiple temperatures. Out of the box, the two that I purchased wouldn't work. I was OK with the fact that they wouldn't transmit at the claimed 100' but at under 5' seems a bit ridiculous. I can get one sensor to work off one probe but not the other. I have a single sensor unit that I purchased from Meijer years ago and it still works fine. I thought this would be a great addition to my cooking arsenal. It wasn't. Should have paid attention to the reviews. Would not purchase again. Would not recommend.
Digital Meat Thermometer w/remote Display July 12, 2010

This is the 4th different meat thermometer w/remote display I have owned and I would have to say it's the least effective one. I bought it because it came with 2 probes and I can purchase them separately if needed later. I have found that the remote unit won't update if I get it more than 2-3' from the sensor which defeats the purpose of having a remote unit. My past units (different brands) have allowed me to go into my home while something is on the grill and I could monitor the temperature from there.
