Amazon.com Review Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer. You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously, since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire. Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds. Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of both is possible. --Fred Brack
Product Description How many times have you watched the guests at your summer barbecue enjoy all the fun while you're slaving over the grill making sure the chicken or chops don't turn to charcoal? Now you can cook and mingle at the same time with the Dual-Probe Remote BBQ Thermometer! This electronic cooking assistant keeps an eye on your steaks and burgers while you rub elbows with your guests up to 100 feet away! This is the ONLY remote meat / barbecue thermometer that can monitor 2 types of meat or 2 doneness levels (i.e. rare, medium, well done, etc.). Just insert one or both probes into your favorite cuts of meat and select how want them cooked. When the meat is cooked exactly to your liking, the receiver will let you know by beeping. Both the receiver and the transmitter (which is attached to the probes) display the progressive meat temperature in 5-second intervals on their easy-to-read LCD screens. The receiver also displays a clock and timer. Suitable for outdoor barbecue or indoor oven use, this dual-probe wireless barbecue thermometer system makes the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking! Use it to get perfectly cooked beef, chicken, fish, pork, lamb or any other common grill meats. Uses 2 AAA and 2 AA batteries (sold separately).

Nice Thermometer November 11, 2009 Dave (Shelby,OH USA) This thermometer works great. I love the fact that I can walk away from the grill (Holland Grill) and just wait for the food to reach set temperature. The range of the receiver is not as good as stated, but it does work!
C'mon, 100ft Range? November 4, 2009 iuiiiuuiuu (USA) I only bought this for the remote feature, the rest of the stuffs are of no interest to me. They should stop advertising the 100 ft range remote. Because in realty, this thing does not work beyond 4 meters.
very limited range October 30, 2009 Matthew Singrin (Denver, Colorado) The first unit received would not transmit a signal (30 feet) consistantly from my barbeque to my kitchen. I returned it and received another which seems to maintain an uninterrupted signal for the 30 minutes of outside cooking. An audible alarm which alerts one that the signal has been lost would be a vital improvement to this gadget. In the mean time, I will check the signal often and regularly. The reported temperatures seem to be accurate, the instructions are straigtforward and the two probes are handy.
Yeah, right, 100 feet, try 10... October 19, 2009 Flyer Tuck 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The only reason I bought this was for the remote monitoring capability. I cannot get more than 10 feet away without loosing the transmitter and that is line of site.
If I close my sliding glass door, I do not get 5 feet.
I tried 3 sets of batteries, incuding rechargables, no improvement.
Great product in other ways, accurate and clean design, but useless to me since it isn't really a remote monitor.
Good, but lots of room for improvement October 12, 2009 Solar. (MA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Overall, I'm luke warm on this item. I purchased it off Amazon since it was the highest rated wireless thermometer. It certainly works well but there is a lot of room for improvement. After one 12-hour smoker run, here are my initial thoughts:
Pros:
*Multiple probes
*Easy to read display
*Long cords (approx 4') for convenience
*Decent range (could go almost anywhere in the house within 10 yards or line of sight)
Cons:
*Inconsistent signal - would sporadically lose/find the signal.
*No alert tone when signal is dropped.
*No low temperature alert.
*No backlight on display.
*Could make keys more intuitive.
*No room to add/purchase additional probes
My biggest complaints are the lack of alert tone when signal is dropped, and lack of low temperature alert and here's why; After firing up my smoker at 5am I wanted to get some shuteye. I took the wireless receiver into the living room where it still received signal (almost line of site, 10 yards away from smoker). It received a signal for 10 minutes or so and eventually I felt comfortable and fell asleep. I woke up an hour or so later and, at some point, the unit had lost the signal and failed to make any audible noise. Without this feature, or the low temp feature, it really requires you to monitor it manually. It would ad so much value for these two, simple software updates.
This was my first wireless grill thermometer but it seems pretty straight forward. I'd probably recommend to a friend but would search for a few alternatives as well.
