I bought a 732 and used it yesterday for a 13 hr cook on an 8 lb butt. It did the trick but seemed to be "out of range" when inside, 50'ish feet from the base unit. I knew the probes were only 3 ft long going into it and wow, that's to short unless I hang the base off my ash catcher. I saw replacement probes that are 6 ft, but hesitate to drop another $40-50 on those because I think they may prove to be a weak link from poor design. As it is I would probably hang the base from a wire off the ash catcher...or find a weber side table. After reading the reviews on here and other places it would seem the et-732 or 733 are the only options for a radio freq. remote ( which is needed for decent range ) that will let me monitor both pit and pig from a distance. I think there's a glitch in mine where it would freeze up and not respond to the buttons so it's getting returned.
The inquiry is; another 732, 733 ? or has anyone anything else out there
I know of igrill2 and other bluetooth units but am worried the bluetooth will be even more blocked to me inside the house than the mavericks. Radio frequency almost always will penetrate structures more effeciently.
