Ever since I got my Klose, I've been cooking in the driveway. (At 1800 pounds, it is not going on my deck, especially not up three steps!)
The downside I'm experiencing is that neither my Williams Sonoma nor my Maverick remote thermometer can reliably transmit from the driveway to my kitchen (the garage and therefore a few walls are in the way, even though the distance is probably only 50 feet.) Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with remotes which work reliably over longer distances and through walls.
If I can't find anything commercially available, my next idea would be to outfit an old laptop with a thermocouple reader card and wireless networking and log into that to check. Cool as this might be (the more I think about it I'll probably do it anyway) I would like to know if there is a good off the shelf solution. Thanks in advance.
