I love their Thermopen. I bought the smoke when I owned my Kamado Joe. I threw away their smoke unit within a year. I bought the unit and extra probes at the same time. It was eating through probes. I went through 4 probes in a year. Called Thermoworks and guy told me since the probes were bought a year ago best he could do is give me 10% off new probes. So I asked, I’ll have to buy 4 probes a year just to use this thing in my backyard? I don’t compete. Short answer was yes. And don’t buy all at one time, they won’t honor their reliability. Went with a maverick and haven’t looked back. Over 2 years later, I haven’t replaced one probe yet. If you’re looking specifically for a fan and control unit, there are better options.
