Are there any good 4 probe Thermometers on the market that don't use Bluetooth and don't require me to leave my phone connected to the probe like the iCelsius seems to do?

I think the Maverick ET-735 has 4 probes-
It does and you don't have to use the blue tooth feature. I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to though?
I don't use my iPhone I use my iPad.
I sit in the house and watch what the pit temp is and see how the meat is progressing.
For long low and slow cooks I also use my DigiQ Dx2.
Those 2 devices make a 16 hour no peek cook easy.

Alas, the 735 is both bluetooth and requires your smartphone.Comment

Breadhead - bluetooth isn't the most consistent over distance. It can be good for shortrange things like earphones and hands free cellphones, but not much more. Newer bluetooth claims up to 100 feet, I think, but I've not known anybody with that experience. That's why a wi-fi connection is preferredLast edited by The Burn; June 30, 2015, 09:20 PM.

Drbearsec - I use 2 Mavericks, which work fine to my patio or living room, but I couldn't use them overnight because the signal drops out in the bedroom. I'm still hoping someone will tell me that the 735 has stronger bluetooth or that a good wi-fi solution will appear.

Funny that this subject came up bc I just order the ET-735 yesterday.Comment

The standard RF of the 732s states 300' (100yds) reception. I get a good 70yds in my yard when I put the receiver(s) in a tree when I'm out mowing. I'm not at all interested in Bluetooth for my circumstances. Wifi, absolutely it it were available.Comment

Agreed. I actually emailed Maverick a while back explaining us bbq folk need a 732 & 735 hybrid with either the RF or preferably Wi-Fi so it'd be compatible with apps, phones, tracking and so on. They said they'll put it in their box for consideration. I hope it's true. 736 would be nice, 4 waterproof probes and Wi-Fi...but option for its own receiver like 732.Originally posted by Pit Boss View PostComment

The Burn I believe that as your, "There, Fixed it!" moment. Now we need Jon Solberg to stop by with an appropriate GIF.

Don't have any experience with this, but I was surfing the web and found this tonight. Sounds like they also have waterproof probes. Kinda pricey, but maybe it's worth it if they last and are accurate.http://www.tappecue.comComment

Hmmm... I'm close to computer illiterate. Maybe that's a good thing because I love what the ET 735 has been doing for me the last month. The saying ignorance is bliss... Just might be true.
Blue tooth is better than no tooth! My DigiQ Dx2 does a good job but I have to go out to the smoker to observe what it is doing. Now that I have the 735 I put one probe right next to DigiQ pit probe and just track that from my family room.Comment

Ideally, a wifi enabled system that can I can receive on my iphone and get alerts on if I hit threshholds and the ability to record my tempsComment

Interesting... just not sure I want to be tied to electricity...
