ThermoWorks Silicone Probe Spool - Anyone Have One?

[efincoop]

Hello,

Today is the last day of the ThermoWorks inventory reduction sale. I need to order some extra temp probes and was considering getting a couple of the Silicone Probe Spools.

Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they worth the money?

[bbqLuv]

NO, I prefer to untangle before use. Reminds me of the bird's nest in my level wind.

[IdahoJim]

I don't have any. I always thought they would just take up too much space that way. I put some individually in small snack size zip lock bags. I also have their big case, so two just go loose in the pouches in the case.

I have one and should pick up another. The advantage isn't that it untangles the wire, but that it keeps it untangled. A secondary advantage is that, if you get a bright color, it makes them easy to spot in a drawer etc.

[Jim White]

I have four and use them all the time.

Magnets make them hang on my fridge. I bought some for my son,and son-in-law in their colors, and got a few blue ones for me.

I grabbed 2 to try. Can you fit more than one probe on a spool? One use I want to see if it will work for is the 3 temp probe wires I leave hanging out of the probe port in my offset cooker. I'm hoping I can wind the 3 wires around this and leave it on grate.

[RonB]

Good idea.

I found a 10% discount code in my email, so I added a 3rd silicon spool and 1 silicon trivet!

[RichieB]

I don't see 3 on one spool. Give it a try.

I have 4 that I bought during another sale. Love them. I don't think they'd hold more than 1 probe. I keep them stuck to the inside of my metal drawer on my outdoor Grilla kitchen. I also bought their silicone trivets too to replace some small crappy ones that weren't holding up that well either. Love those too.

I have quite a few. It is by far the best probe storage system I have tried. And they are magnetic so they stick right on my metal pegboard in the kitchen. Definitely pick some up.

[efincoop]

I didn't catch that. Even better! That way it will stick to the door of my offset when I wrap the probe wires.

Crap. I was resisting MCS so well the first 4 days of this year. Now I just ordered 5 of these, to hold all my different probes, in a couple different colors (blue for air probes, red for meat probes). Oh well.... I made it almost 5 days without spending money on cooking or BBQ stuff!

[efincoop]

Well it was a valiant effort

[RichieB]

MCS is it not great!

[Razor]

😂 same here!

I'm currently using a piece of foam pipe insulation.

[Troutman]

I have the Fireboard models. They work very well and hold two probes.



The problem is I hate wires in general, sick of messing with them. I wish they would further perfect the wireless models, still not there and still lack the advanced features of the Fireboard.

I also noticed they are a little cheaper than the ones above.

I’m with you on no wires, I like my Meater for convenience when I spin, but the bluetooth only and huge diameter leave a lot of room for innovation.

[RichieB]

Yes efincoop I have them. IMO worth it. No kinking and low profile storage in a draw with thermometers.

[glitchy]

I have the bulky Fireboard ones, some 3D printed ones from eBay, and the Thermoworks ones. I Like the Thermoworks the best. Seem to be easier to wind and unwind than the hard plastic 3D and far less awkward and bulky than FB originals. I also like the magnets. I bought 3 colors, green for my current FB probes, blue for MAK probes and red for the FB pro probes when I get one.

[Redwng]

I ordered three the first sale and then five from the second sale. I really like these especially with the magnet in the middle and the various colors available.
