    Two weeks after my order and I'm still getting the run around. It was returned to shipper. Now I know why never buy anything online if it's not directly from Amazon.

      That sucks, hopefully they will work everything out to your liking. In the mean time (or would that be meat time) to cheer yourself up you need to fire up KBQ!

        I don't know about it being the exact thing. Am I missing something here? The ivation looks like it has more buttons than the Maverick and clearly is a different case. Are the guts the same and the case different? Could be a cheap Chinese knock off so I'd make sure I calibrated probably every time I used it for the first 5 or 6 times.

          To calibrate mine I make sure they read the current ambient temp, verified by my Thermapen sometimes.

          They look nearly identical to me.

            Oh wow they do. I was looking at the black one versus an Amazon ad for the maverick and they looked totally different. Thanks for the clarification.

              You may have seen the Maverick ET-733, its display is a lot busier and a little bigger than the 732. It shows the alarm settings on the screen and other stuff, like the label for meat temp settings "BEEF", "PORK" and such.

          If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

          slow n sear
          The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

          The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

          the good one grill
          The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

          Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

          Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
          The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

          The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

          Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
          The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

          PK 360 grill
          The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills.

          Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

          kareubequ bbq smoker

          The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

          The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

          NK-22-Ck Grill
          Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
