ThermaQ goes Wi-Fi with integrated smartphone monitoring
This just came across my desk-
ThermoWorks has integrated a Wi-Fi interface with the ThermaQ dual probe thermometer allowing you to set alarms, monitor temperatures, and graph and export your cooks via the ThermoWorks app on your smartphone or mobile device.
The kit includes meter, probes, and stand at a $ 51.00 savings.
allsid, Paul, Thanks for the Linkâ—ï¸ If I hadn't Just this very Morning ordered a Fan Control Cable and a Backup Battery Pack for My FireBoard I would Give this a Serious Lookâ€¼ï¸ I have a Thermopen Classic InstantRead by ThermoWorks that the Only thing I'd Give it Up For would be a Mk4 Thermopen â—ï¸

Eat Well and Prosperâ—ï¸ From a Backyard Cremator in Fargo ND, Dan
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
Know what you mean. I am realizing a lot of the automated stuff seems cool but is not all that necessary. Like the cyberQ that has a fan to regular the temp of a WSM. Reality is I never would use it because once I am set it is good.
I have one. It disconnects all the time even when phone and transmitter are always on the same Wi-Fi. Reconnect and it’s fine but the graphs are disrupted and the data lost. Maybe they have a firmware upgrade I haven’t pulled.
Other than that, it does a good job and the probes are more robust than others. I still use this for. 400F plus roasting occasions.
The main advantage is that the ThermaQ uses Type K probes. They can be more durable and are available in a lot of types for use for various things.
I have an old predecessor of the ThermaQ (the TW8060) and I have one temp probe that is good for 2000°F that I needed for non-cooking purposes. I've got another probe that I did use for cooking purposes - it's kinda like a 6" screwdriver in shape and I would plug that into an extension cable. That allowed me to probe/read a dozen pork butts in a friends big smoker while keeping the display unit (and my face) out of the smoke. Much easier than using a Thermapen for the same task.
