ThermoProTP829 1000ft Wireless Meat Thermometer Digital for Grilling and Smoking, 4 Meat Probes Grill Thermometer for Outside Grill, BBQ Thermometer for Cooking Beef Turkey Smoker Acessories Gifts

I have been using a couple of single-probe thermometers for many years. I always thought it would be nice to own a multi-probe unit, and even better to have one that didn't keep me "anchored" to the grill (or oven) to monitor the readings.I hopped on Amazon to look at the multi-probe thermometers. I first looked at the Bluetooth style, but found, in the reviews, that if you get out of range, the Bluetooth disconnects and can clear your readings. I also looked at some WIFI units, but I was hesitant to add another IoT device, especially wondering about the security practices of companies that are in the thermometer business. So I decided to go with an RF unit, and landed on the ThermoPro TP829. It has many nice features, including:-- 4 probes-- a small "base" unit that the probes attach to-- a larger handheld receiver/controller unit that you can carry with you to set the meat type or desired "done" temperature for each probe-- both the base unit and receiver/controller unit have fold out stands-- the system has a 1000 foot range-- nothing has to be installed on your WIFI-- there is no app to install on your phoneI used the system today to cook a large package of chiken thighs on the grill. It was very easy to set up, and it worked very well. The thighs came out just right and were tender and juicy.So that's all of the good stuff, now for my one complaint...The receiver/controller has magnets on the back; however, the base unit has NO magnets, which is inconvenient for the piece that is supposed to be out at the grill. I know that many gas grills have side shelves, so you can stand it up or lay it down on one of those, but there are other grills that do not have that. I don't quite understand why they went through the trouble to put magnets on the receiver/controller that you carry with you, but did not put any on the base unit that is at the grill. Perhaps it's because the cases are made of plastic and they are worried about you sticking it to the side of a hot grill, IDK. But the other single-probe thermometers I have DO have magnets on the back and parts of those cases are plastic. Anyway, for my use, I had some magnetic tape strips, so I cut some to size and now my base unit also has magnets on the back.Aside from that one complaint, I still give this system 5 stars, and I highly recommend it!

I used this device to monitor the temps on side by side air fried turkeys. I used 2 of the the 4 probes.One of the turkeys also had a Meater brand thermometer, so i was able to do some comparison testing.Connectivity & Range:The ThermoPro thermometer held range keeping a strong signal through multiple walls, approximately 70' away. The Meater lost connection less than 15' away, through one wall. The Meater uses Bluetooth. The ThermoPro uses radio frequency... old school... no WiFi, no Bluetooth, no app... just good old reliable RF.Accuracy:The ThermoPro device gave an accurate temp that resulted in perfectly cooked turkey at 165 degrees. The Meater consistently registered about 15-20 degrees warmer, and made me think the turkey was going to be overdone. The Meater read 180 when I pulled the turkeys out of the air fryers... completely inaccurate reading. The ThermoPro were spot-on.Value:The ThermoPro is significantly less expensive than the Meater. Plus, it has 4 probes vs 1 on the Meater. The probes are also much longer, so they reached into the deepest parts of the turkey. That's probably why it gave more accurate readings.Tech:ThermoPro is old school. Basic, but functional. It has target temps, alarms, etc. Meater has a well designed app that tells you ambient temp, estimated cook times, graphs, etc. All great... but it wasn't accurate... soooo... what's the point?Overall:ThermoPro saved Thanksgiving dinner. I would've served underdone turkey if I'd trusted the Meater.

This thing works great! The only way to perfectly cook your meat is to monitor the temp.The four probes have been plenty for me.Having the remote feature is nice.I didn’t want to deal with an app on my phone so this was an easy decision for me.The batteries last a long time. The alarm is nice and loud.It’s easy to use and setup once you get used to it.

Amateur smoker here. Purchased this for its affordable price point. Originally planned on getting one of those fancy no wire Bluetooth probes but figure I'd rather spend that money on getting some meat that I'd probably mess up anywaysVery easy to use but haven't figured it all out yet. I think it came with a guide but I haven't been bothered enough to use it. I'm sure it's accurate. I have those boring analog oven gauges sitting on both sides of my smoker with about a 50° difference between hot and cold sideFor my last cook, I did violently throw some short ribs in the smoker and set up prong#1 on one of those little clips and set it in the middle of the smoker. Being the Amateur that I am, I didn't add 2 or 3 into anything until I thought it was done but boy was I wrong. #2 went into some ribs on the hot side and #3 went into ribs on the cold sideIf you've actually read this far then here's a complaint. I wish it came with a case. Kind of sucks to toss it back in the box but that's no problem. Easy to set up and use. I feel like an ipad kid when I have the smoker churning out mediocre meat, just lugging it around with me wherever I go. 9.5/10 would buy again if it craps out on me someday
