Classic Thermopen $67.15

[Attjack]

When will I pull the trigger?

[EdF]

... 3 - 2 - 1 ... We have ignition!

[OSB]

If you don't have one. I say pull. I just got mine when the grey mk4 were 25% off after using Thermopops for the last 3 years. Should have gotten it years ago.

[EdF]

Thermapen is a fine and durable tool!

[Attjack]

Gonna hold out for newer model. I have a few thermopops.

Make sure you only use a quarter to open the battery compartment or the slot will become stripped out, like mine.

Ok. Ill ask...why do i need a thermopen when i have a thermopop?

[OSB]

You don't. I don't think everyone would justify $$$ differential but I personally will. I love the thrermapen.

[grantgallagher]

OSB why justify the didference. What makes it better minus the read time?

[Attjack]

The new model is waterproof.

[OSB]

grantgallagher For me it is the read time when checking multiple roasts. That is the difference. Its just a personal preference .

It's a damn nice item. You really notice how good it is when you also have a couple $15 knockoffs and you grab one of those thinking, "What's the difference?" Big difference in how long your bare hand is in the heat zone, is what.

Once the money is gone, you don't miss it. But eight years later the Thermapen will still be doing exactly what you want it to.
