Highly recommend ThermoWorks Smoke thermometer

[awm77]

If you haven't taken advantage of the Amazing Ribs discount yet on the new ThermoWorks Smoke thermometer I highly recommend it. I didn't want to pay $99 for it, but when they offered the discount I figured I would give it a try. If I would have known how great it is I would have paid full price. I have a Maverick 732 and it works, but had to read the novel length instruction book provided several times to understand and get the settings where I wanted. Also, had difficulty at times getting the Maverick 732 to sync. None of these issues at all with the Smoke. Took it out of the box, inserted probes, and was able to figure out the settings within minutes just by looking at the buttons. Smoke syncs automatically with the receiver as soon as you turn it on. Couldn't get any easier. It also feels more hefty and durable than the Maverick. Decided to try a quick cook of turkey legs and a breast on the PBC for the first use. Extremely pleased. Thanks Amazing Ribs for the discount.

I love mine, just wish they would release the WIFI unit that works with the smoke. I keep waiting.

Love my Smoke!

Don't cook without it

Ditto to all the above, plus my son is getting excited to learn his numbers so he can help Dad track the temperatures on the receiver unit.

Sure he's only three and he basically reports the numbers as 80 degrees every time I ask, but I'm happy the Smoke may get him hooked on grilling early!

Just took mine out of the box & was wondering if this was a wise move. Ya'll have stoked the coals once again, I forgot why I just had to have it & then the sale came along. Planning a cook on Tues.

I agree Spinaker Mavericks are so 2015!! Don't get me wrong I loved mine when I 1st got it, it was sort of a pain to set temps and such but nothing out was better then, Now with The Smoke, The FireBoard, Tappeque ect Maverick is falling way behind. I would have gone with the Smoke but no wifi caused me to look elsewhere. Radio wont reach my upstairs bedroom for overnight cooks. Tired of cooks taking longer and ending at midnight now they end during the day!!

My FireBoard is my goto now. Still LOVE my smoke too! Where does this leave the Meater now? LOL

At the price point, Mavricks are pretty good set ups.

AWM77, I just received my new Smoke and am very pleased. How did you get your remote receiver to stand on end? With rounded ends it does not stand up and when you place it on its side the numbers do not rotate for easy reading. Also, another great feature is the magnets on the base unit.

[awm77]

I didn't have any issue standing the remote on end, but I can see where some type of kick stand would have been useful.

[BGWolf]

I love my Smoke. Very easy to use and built like a tank. BTW some Sugru or a few Legos make a nice stand for the remote.

[abandonedbrain]

I was just thinking Sugru, but now the thought of a Lego castle for it to set into is calling to me...

Any recommendations for how best to attach the probe to Grill Grates? How close should the probe be to the surface?

I'd just use the clip that comes with it, it's a pretty good height.

Be careful not to let the probe cables touch the grill grates. Those cables are rated to 700 F and the grill grates can easily reach or exceed 700 if you're not careful.
