Too much time on Ebay. Just ordered Meater Plus

Finally fell for it. The Meater plus now gives you 165 ft range instead of 33 ft.  They appear smaller than original and have a very good approval rate.  $84 on Ebay plus I bought the 2 year warranty for $7.99.  Decided that they have survived the "new gadget" test of time and decided that it would be nice to have the App that goes with it.  No wires, and info that lets you remove the meat when it is at the desired doneness. Will see how the learning curve is.  Their main other competitor Meat Stik brags that theirs is water proof and can be submerged as in sous vide, but the users have a one star rating of 20% on it.  Thats a no no for me. Meater is not submersible but no need for me. Just being careful at cleaning.  Now I can monitor on my B380 without wires.  High temp range for meat is 212 and ambient is 560. Should be just fine since I would not use temps above 500 usually. Will have to see if temps higher might damage.  ?? Comments?

I am in the opposite mode right now.  I found a bag with several Mavericks and other remote thermometers in it in my garage this week.  I am going to give them to some friends that are just starting out BBQing.

I have 2 Thermoworks Smoke with the wifi gateway, carrying case, two probes, and one probe cable extender that I am selling at a steep discount.  I upgraded the firmware last night with the help of Thermoworks on a chat on both gateway units.  One of the packages is sold to a friend and I am going to hook it up to his network this weekend and show him how to use it.  I am shopping around the other package to some friends of friends to see if they want to buy it.

I don't use it anymore.  I bought the Signals with the 4 probes when it came out and have yet to use it.  I will probably get around to it, but won't need any more than that.

We've been in the house for 6 years now so I am starting to look to sell, donate, give away or throw out a bunch of stuff in my garage, on my patio, and in our storage room in the basement.  Probably a good time to be friends or family with me.

 I believe if used within the published guidelines there should be minimal to no issues. As anything mechanical or electrical, there are limits.  The problem arises when we try and do things relative to an

 established pattern not adapting to the new.

I had no idea what it was until I googled it.  Looks convenient.
I assume there is a battery or two in it that have to be replaced periodically.
Pricey for one probe, but to be expected with WIFI in it.
Do they say how accurate they are?

I just took the flat of a brisket off the grill, point is is still in the grill.
I use the ThermoWorks Smoke.
Had probes of one unit in the point and flat, and a probe from another to monitor grill overnight.

You probably won't be able to get away with having just one.
I'm sure you'll find a need for more.  :)

Brushpopper:
I enjoy mine.  I have the single probe.  I use it with butts and briskets and use the Maverick for everything else.  I used them both at first and they were within a degree of each other the whole time.  It takes a AAA battery and the probe charges off of that when it's in the wood block.  I've had it about a year and half and haven't had to changed the battery yet.  Of course, now I will since I said that.
