Thermometer Websites
 

Here is a list of thermometer websites. I have the NuTemp remote setup, and I love it. However, I thought it would be nice to have an easy to use resource to find info if you are new to smoking, or just wanted to upgrade. Also, I will add info as I come across it, or just post and I will add. If you want Mr. Moderator, you could make this a sticky.

What do you think of the NuTemp probes, I have the weber wireless but it seems like all probes are garbage.I wash them by hand and i don`t fold them,and i don`t let them near the high heat.

NuTemps are great. I've got the base with 3 wireless units. One unit seems to be going bad, but NuTemp said to send it back, and they'll send me a replacement. I've been through a couple other cheaper brands, and am 100% satisfied with these.

Also got a super fast Thermapen for father's Day. It's great also. I use it all the time in the kitchen also.

Good one Noah!

Always helpin out, Darn good thread idea

Thanks, Noah! Great job!

Thanks Noah. Great Job!:cool:

Excellent Noah !! Thanks... You might want to add this you your list.

Oregon Scientific makes a remote BBQ meat thermomter...(only measures to 200 deg. so it's great for meat but not for pit temps in the WSM etc.)

I have a Thermapen. It is excellent. I use to Taylor candy thermometers in the WSM's in the top vents. I have a Nu-Temp with three wireless sensors too but have not used them yet.

Remove polder from the list. They should be shot

Good list there, Noah. Gracias.

Noah, yeah, what they said, thanks

I have an observation. The Pampered Chef model is a THERMO-tech brand that is available at Kitchen Collection, Linen and Things and a Im sure a bunch more retail outlets. I have bought 3 of them, and I find they read about 3 degrees cool after you pass 80 degrees. I used my first one in homebrewing to measure the sparge temp of my water and also the boil. They work fine, but the probes go bad after awhile. I think I screwed up one of them cleaning the probe. They only run 15-18 bucks locally. Pampered Chef is a ripoff at 39 bucks.

Here's an exciting study on thermometers published, where else, in Illinois:

You da man Noah! As my boss says: this extra work youve done is appreciated and wont get overlooked. Uh huh.

Great resource Noah. I give a thumbs down to the Oregon Scientific
( http://www.zalmar.com/detail-Misc-Or...ific-AW129.htm), which is the same as the Weber(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...82826-0117543). Worked for awhile but not long. Seems to me that they all have the same problem of too light gauge wire leading to the probe. I am working on this and hopefully will have a heavier gauge replacement available soon.

They are definitely the weak link in the systems. Unfortunately for improvement, you'd be asking the mfgr's to give up the only reason you're going to have for spending more $$ with them after your initial purchase. Bet that doesn't happen.
When you buy a digital therm, you need to understand the probes are not lifetime items and will need periodic replacement. That's why I value my collection of analog leave in's. I've never had to replace a battery or probe on one yet.

This one may be useful for some of us
Tel-Tru Manufacturing
http://www.teltru.com/

I especially like this model http://www.teltru.com/cart/detail.as...ct_id=251005RK

almost forgot Ashcroft http://www.ashcroft-gauges.com/pdf/EI.pdf outstanding quality!

I think I need to order one of those for my hillbilly brother. He retires this month and will need something to keep him busy.

made life easier for us noah.

Got the same setup (base and three wireless units) for christmas and was playing with them tonight. I can't wait to take them for a test run!

One question, though. How often do y'all have to change the batteries since you can't turn them off? I was planning to using these for exclusive competitions but it's a pain getting to the batteries.

Clint,
Not to sound like an arse....but I would put new batteries in
prior to any competition.
Just in case mode.....

Yeah, that would be the most logical. Kind of weird they don't have a shut off, plus the fact that they have 4 little screws on the battery plate making it a pain to take them in and out. Oh well. Beyond that, they seem very nice.:mrgreen:

The roadkill thermometer is great... but I like Glow faces best - 5" please, :twisted:

Check out the BQQ-500G, and BQQ-500GA

You're now in the Roadmap, Noah - great post!
[EDIT] OK, so you were already there! Still a great post! :oops:

Arlin

thanks for bumping this. I got my Nu-temp 701 wireless on order. Just in time for the NFL playoffs and the Super bowl blowout.
