Pitmasters - Best remote temp probe?

[jerp]

I have a Lavatools instant read pen-type thermometer but I want to be able to monitor meat temps without raising the lid on my kamado. When researching I see that prices are all over the place, from $50-60 to almost $200. How much do you have to spend to get one that is reliable and accurate? Any brand preference? Thanks!

Great results from meater so far. Even gifted a couple after using mine for a while. Single probe measures meat and chamber temps and middle of the road, price-wise.

I have 1 meater and it has been great. But recently had some problems with it charging. I did eventually got it to work and its all good now.

I also use Meater.

Have had their block for a little over 2 years, it comes with 4 probes and I believe more can be added. Over the WiFi, I can see the status from my grills that are in front of the house when I'm in our bedroom which is in the back of the house.

I think Maverick are the best IMO.

This is the one I use and have had for a few years and always works flawlessly.

Thermoworks is in its own class. I had a Meater but it didn’t last.

I have a FireBoard, seems to do its job just fine for me.

I’ve got a meater block with 4 probes. Have not been happy with it, constantly drops signal and sets off alarms etc.

I previously used a maverick and never had any issues. I now use a fireboard and been very happy with the app, connectivity and data logging. I also use it to power the fan on my WSM as well as gravity smoker. I’d highly recommend the fireboard.

This cook was for a couple of reverse sear steaks I did recently. Smoked at 200 on the gravity smoker till it of about 125 after which I put them over hot coals or in a cast iron pan on the grill.

Have a 4 probe Maverick... Only thing I dislike about it is the Bluetooth connectivity is weak... If I buy another one, whatever brand it is, it will have Wi-Fi connectivity.

As far as monitoring temp, the Maverick and probes have been spot on... Calibrated with Ice water and boiling water, and all probes have read within 1 or 2 degrees of test temp.
