https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=amazi0a8-20 I bought one of these a few months ago and discovered it didnt work while smoking the canadian bacon last weekend. I figured the batteries went dead, so I ordered some batteries and a new one just incase batteries didnt fix my old one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ag=amazi0a8-20 I got the new one yesterday and double checked the old one to make sure it didnt work.. still dead. took the battery out of the new one and put it in the old one.. works fine. old battery it the new one... it works too. If you get one that quits on you, try taking the battery out and put it back in. the battery fits tight, not sure if they move alittle if dropped and lose connection or what happened, but now I have 2 and a life time supply of batteries

When you get any new thermometer - cheap or expensive - I suggest you test it for accuracy. Stick it in boiling water and it should read close to 212* depending on your elevation. I'm 300 Ft above sea level, and the boiling temp for my elevation is just below 212* at 211.6.
Also check to see how accurate it is for freezing. Thermoworks has an article that shows how to test for 32*. Some of the cheaper thermometers are probably fine, but if I ever smoke a wagu brisket at a price far north of $100, I'd want a calibrated thermometer with a great reputation behind it.

I have found that in one of my digitals that a particular brand of battery may not work because of the height of the positive or negative posts don't touch the contacts. Try a different brand and see if it works. It did drive me crazy for alittle while until I figured it out. Wound up using an off brand cheap battery and works perfectly.
