Maverick ET-733 Thermometer

[Iron Bulldog]

Awaiting delivery of my new ET-733 tomorrow. Anybody have one of these? Should be quite an upgrade from my old Maverick single-probe.

Iron Bulldog, I have a Maverick ET 733, I have had it for +-1 1/2 Yrs Now! I truly like the fact that I can Monitor both the Cook and the Grill Temps From the Kitchen Table where my Beer Is! The negatives in my Mind are; 1: You nearly have to be a Computer Programer to Set it Up or Change Settings or Alarms, I am Not! 2: When I first bought it it had 1-Food Probe and 1- Grill Probe both were Non Water Resistant 3' in Lenth? I bought Two
New 6' - Dual Purpose Probes Non Water Resistant? The Only Water Proof Probes I have found are 3' in Length? I would like a set 4'-5' in Length?
I wish Maverick offered Spools or Probe Minders of some Sort for Storage! The same batteries are it as came with it! It is very accurate in a Boiling Water Test and Compared to a Thermapen! There you have it The Good, The Bad, and by The Ugly! One of These Days I Will Read the Book?

I'm no programmer my self Dan, but we can make it work. As long as I know my temps without having to use my 270 deer rifle to look out the window with, I can figure it out. My wife really looks at me funny in the winter when I do that, but she ALWAYS has looked at me funny!

I use a 270 Myself! I think yow will like the 733! Dan

I also own one and love it. I had to go to You Tube and watch a video on how to program it. The directions are definitely confusing!

[Jon Solberg]

Your going to dig it

[Jerod Broussard]

Yeah, been tempted to pull the plug on the 733, looks too much like a dang $200+ item. Wife will never believe it costs less than that.

Don't increase the bleeding.

[Iron Bulldog]

Ahh come on it wont hurt that bad, Jerod. She'll only be mad for awhile. My wife just shakes her head, she gave up on me a long time ago!

I've been wanting to pull the trigger on one of these. Only problem is, it's just a digital readout and not a nice graph on my cell phone. I know another model by Maverick has the nice graph, but it got bad reviews because the Bluetooth craps out often due to very short range or lousy receiver. If I want a good double-probe like the Maverick and a nice graph over time on my phone, what should I buy? Same price range as the 733.

Do you have an Iphone?

[Craigar]

I am loving my iGrill2 with 4 probes.

[Lost in China]

Nope, I'm not that rich. Android, Xiaomi 4 to be precise.

[DWCowles]

Wish I had one 😔

[Jon Solberg]

hehehehehehe

[Craigar]

Lol!!!! Or 3.

[Ernest]

Stop it DWCowles !! HAHA

I have one. Just used it on the brisket I smoked on Memorial Day. Worked well, very good range. Little bit of a learning curve but once you use it a few times it's easy.

[Medusa]

Get 6 foot hybrid probes. Hybrid allows you to use either probe for grate probe and food probe; however, I generally keep them separate.

I lost 1 probe this year, but the system is going on 2 years old. There is a thread on this site (I think DWCowles started it) about sealing the probe ends where the cable runs into it to prevent moisture from getting inside the probe.

The 1 thing I learned is to remove the batteries after each use, otherwise the system eats them up even if you think it's turned OFF. When I re-insert the batteries, both units are already ON without me touching a button.

Also, I can't program it until probe / transmitter / receiver are talking to each other. Programming is a little tricky, but there are YouTubes, etc.

All in all, this is a "Must Have" as temp monitoring is essential for your cooks. You'll love being able to monitor everything from afar with the receiver.

I use these for storage. Keep probes in the original padded envelope, and have 1 each
( right envelope ) for transmitter, receiver, batteries + screwdriver. I don't seal the envelopes -- Ed

I have the ET 732 and 733. If I only need one unit, I grab the 732. Easier to use as I only use it to montor temps. I did get the hybrid probes. Going to get another 732 from Amazon that has an extra 6' probe included

[Iron Bulldog]

733 is up and running. Ill be damned if I can find that thread on sealing the probes though, help anybody?

Found these shrink wrap tubes on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Anytime-Tools-...ink+wrap+tubes

I am getting these tubes

Remember to use the AR Amazon link when ordering.

[Jon Solberg]

Just don't throw them on a sink full of water and you'll be fine. Treat them like you do your knife.

[Iron Bulldog]

Thanks everyone for all your help, shrink tubing...duh!!!! Within arms reach as I sit here in my shop on my laptop. Being a pitmaster club member pays off again. Sometimes it is just a humbling experience.
