We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

I was just going through reviews while you both were posting.
Huskee, since a thermopen was just delivered here yesterday, I looked for a special on thermopens, too, and did not see it on special. Bought the purple close out for $80.
The downside of going through the reviews is that I now have to consider more options (iCelcius, for example), and still don't know if I'm looking for 2 or 4 probes. Why do I buy better stuff for others than I buy/request for me?? GEESH!
Strange as this sounds I'd have bought the purple one, I think it looks nice. I just can't justify another instant read. I'd rather buy a 5th Maverick, lol.
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.
Huskee I have 8 now. Rec Tec sent me one so now I have 4 that I used and 4 that are still in the box and been thinking about getting the ET-735 ðŸ˜Å
I took delivery of the Maverick ET 735 about 3 weeks ago. I bought the 2 extra probes along with the original order. The Bluetooth function is so, so handy. I sit in the house and let my DigiQ Dx2 do its thing on controlling the low temp and then watch the Maverick on my iPad. You can track all 4 probes at once or just 1 at a time.
DWCowles to give a different perspective to Wartface's comment- You have plenty of probes now, and those 732 & 733s using RF can go ~100yds line of sight. I have done a good 60-70 yds myself in my yard when mowing. You're taking a big leap down in distance going to Bluetooth. FWIW. Kitchen table, and your grill's right out the window surely would work fine.

"Why do you have a chain link fence in front of your smoker?"
"What chain link fence? Those are my Maverick wires!"

Huskee I seriously doubt if I will get the 735. The ones that I have are working just fine especially after I put the heat shrink tubes on them. I should have enough Mavericks to fire all the cookers up at the same time. I need to get the WSM out and fire it up I'm sure it feels left out since its been over a year that it has been used.
