    So close... the electricity part worries me...

    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.

    That is exactly what Tappecue does, and it also has a graphing feature which is useful, but like you point out below, it does need to be plugged in.

    Tappecue does have four probes and it works well. The cons are that it needs to be plugged in and requires WiFi to work. Not an issue for me the way my cooking area is set up, but it could be.

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

    Yep... I would love the Wifi or RF like on the 732 or 733 but also be able to collect data...

    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 temps

    Bluetooth range isn't great, which is the problem. Plus it drains battery faster.

    I looked at the newer icelcius but I don't want to plug the probes directly into the phone

    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.

    Breadhead Yes I did. I will be using it on the two PBs and a Wagyu brisket cook this weekend.

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

    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.
