Looking for new wireless thermometer

[brandonh1987]

Is the mav et 732 still the go to thermometer now days? Is there something better? I would like the grate probe to have a clamp / teeth so it can securely fit onto my grate. I don't like the type that true probe sticks through a clamp that then stocks loosely on a grate. Any recommendations? Thanks

If you have an Apple device (some Android) I would go with the iGrill 2.

igrill was recently acquired by Weber and i have a feeling they will be coming out with a new version very soon, at least i hope

You won't go wrong with a Maverick, the iGrill looks pretty handy with Bluetooth. I found that the wireless transmission of my Maverick a bit spotty occasionally, but I rarely use the monitor anymore so it's not another.

I have a Maverick and a Flame Boss. I still use the Maverick on cooks where I just need to monitor the temps. It works well, but the wireless reception and range are spotty at times.

I've got one 732 and two 733's. I try to treat the cables/probes VERY carefully and they work great for me. I have found that I need to have a clear line of sight from the transmitter to my kitchen window, about 15-20 feet, to get steady reception on the receiver. If the metal from the smoker is in the way it seems to decrease the range dramatically.

I really like them. I have yet to find any other remote monitoring device although I didn't know about the iGrill.

Isn't there supposed to be some fancy, magical, unicorn of a device that consists of just the probe and then send out the signal via another dimension to a smart phone or something?

I have 2 Mavericks and use the heck out of them. Its true that they can be a little temperamental...some folks have signal problems, though I never have...and you have to handle the probes pretty gently, they're a little delicate. Lots of other options out there nowadays, so I don't know if Mav is still the "go to" choice, but I've always been satisfied with mine.

The et732 works great for me. I get much better range from it than anything Bluetooth powered.

I use an Ivation Wireless Thermometer, uses the same probes as Mavericks and I have the iGrill Thermometer too.

The iGrill is a great wireless one, I've wasted a lot of money on less expense unite on amazon.

I use the 732 and I love it. i have had the same one for years and use it a few times a week, even if just to monitor the temp of my primo. I only have reception issues if I am hundreds of feet away and behind several doors in my house. The probes finally broke and I was suprised that they were about $25 to replace.

I'm happy with my 732, it does what I need it to. Last time I checked, Todd at A-Maze-N Products offered a great deal on it in a package with his tube smoker. I paid a little more and got the package with the maze. Just in case you're interested in getting into cold smoking.

I've used the Maverick and currently use the iGrill2. I really like it, especially since it has 4 probe slots (initially comes with 2 so have to buy a couple more). I can occasionally lose bluetooth connection to it but not any more than I did with the Maverick (the connection in general, I know the Maverick isn't bluetooth).

With the Maverick I tended to leave it on a table and just check when needed. That was fine for when I was mostly staying put, but if I was out working on something it would be a bit more of a pain. I didn't really want to keep it on me since it's a little bulky and I didn't want to break it.

With the iGrill2 I can always check it on my phone unless I'm out of range. The only time I don't like this is if I'm watching TV I can't just look down to check the temp, I have to click a button on my phone (life's rough, right?).

I love my Tappecue and I can even monitor my temps when I go into town .
