    Looks like a great deal right now. I was unable to resist. Instead of $100 I paid $50.

      I have a business account too, but When I went in it was back up to $99.99. I did get the $30 coupon though. I pulled the trigger cause I've been wanting another wireless thermometer for a while.

      hoovarmin I'm not see the business discount anymore. Too bad you missed it.

      They're on sale. Got email from ThermoPro. Says blowout introductory offer of $56.00.
      The link from email is being repaired.
      Current Amazon price as $80

    It's nice that Amazon currently has a $30 off coupon, that's quite rare.

      Attjack Nah, I don't rotisserie and can't think of a reason why I need this more than $70 (I have a wife, 2 teen boys plus 1 preteen boy), but $70 is a good price for something Bill rated Gold, I will say that. I would like to play with it but maybe at a later date.

      Thoughts on how it compares to early MEATER releases?

        Read the review and read the review of the Meater. And then you can ask the author a direct question.

      #6
      Are there photos for size comparison / when it's inserted into meat? Is the probe the size of a standard #2 pencil, for example?

        The review says in the summary that it is 0.25" in diameter. That would be much like a #2 pencil. That is also a LOT bigger than the wired probes I am used to. Those are probably closer to 1/8" in diameter.

      Thanks for posting Clint Cantwell. And thanks for allowing to spend $70. I've wanted a wireless probe for a while. The $30 off made it a no-brainer. Actually it's only costing me about $4.70 for tax. A friend gave me a gift card for my birthday. The amount was $70 as that is how old I am. Been waiting for the right product and deal. I wait no more. Thanks again. It will be here Saturday. Once set up and used, I'll post my feedback.

        $70 without a business account and $50 apparently if you have one. Pretty good deal.

          ItsAllGoneToTheDogs Here’s another example of the Amazon links only working one time, then it goes to "Amazon Comment". It looks like the original "good" link will only work one time…..See above ☝️☝️☝️ Huskee

        I think I’ll do this. One reason I don’t sous vide a lot is that there is so much variation in recommended cook times. If I know what that internal temp is, I’ll feel a lot more confident.

        I took it on its maiden voyage in a chuck roast. I'm making burnt ends. When it was time to wrap having no wire to deal with was great. I like the app, the case, and the performance so far. Next I'll have to try it on the rotisserie.

          Yeah, I read one Amazon review that said their meat overshot by 10 degrees due to slow updates. So user error is obviously part of it but it did make me wonder how slow these updates might be.

          STEbbq ten degrees would be a major malfunction. I don't have mine, yet. It arrives today. But I would say that this person took their phone out of range for the last 10 degrees of the cook. It would take a really long time to induce a 10 degree rise in a piece of meat think enough to sink that thermometer

          hoovarmin Agreed. I expect that is likely the scenario as well.

        #11
        Attjack thanks for the positive take. Mine arrived about an hour ago. Haven't opened the shipping box yet. Looks like a Wendsday thing. Football, weather and doctor appointments getting in the way. How was the setup?

          Setup was very easy. It connected right away and has good range. I did have it lose connection when I was way in the front of the house which was not unexpected. I was very pleased that it was able to reconnect itself when I brought it back into range.

        Damn, it's on discount again!

          I finally got to set up. Just wanted to mention I had a burp when pairing the probe to the phone. I want to say a simple call to service, I got to someone in a minute or less. I was up and running in 10 minutes.
          Now the issue. After fully charging the booster and probe and removed the probe from the booster and opened the app. Tapped add device which I should see the device listed and ready to add. When I did It went to the app info just as if you went into app setting and tapped any app. The agent had me tap on permissions. He had me enable all permissions and go back to the add device and it showed up. I tapped and it was done. So if you are getting this device and having said issue make sure all permissions in the app are enabled. As far as using it is going to be a few days. Another doctor appointment Wednesday. Most likely Friday. I'm leaning towards Malcom Reeds "Not your Momma's Pot Roast." I have 4 of them in the freezer so why not.

            I didn't see in a quick scan through the review - my question is, will the app receive signals from 3, 4 or 5 probes at once???


            I'm waiting for a wireless version of the Fireboard with their software - those guys will get my money if they come up with it.

              Good point. I left a question on the Amazon page. Somewhere in there it was reported a 2-probe version was inbound at some point.

            #15
            $80 today on either my personal account OR the business account. I woulda bought some if I'd'a known I coulda got 'em for $50.

              There's a coupon for Amazon. 30TPHP918 is the code. Advertising for under $60.00.

              I have one and a 3 year warranty in my Amazon cart right now. Just doing some more research.
