I'm glad to see someone who has purchased this device.
I'm in the market for a remote temp monitoring system. I've been looking at the Fireboard, but I keep coming back to the Thermoworks due to the quality.

The only thing I don't like about Smoke is the requirement to buy a gateway for each smoke device.
I'm probably wrong about this, and there may be some technological reason for it, but having to buy multiple gateways appears to be a cash grab by Thermoworks.

I would love to have 6 or 8 temp probes without having to purchase multiple gateways.

Again, I do believe Thermoworks produces quality products.

I'm not 100% sure about this but I think the reason it can only pair one gateway to one smoke base unit is that it connects via RF and I don't think they make two units that would have the same RF signal or they would get confused connecting to the receiver.  But I could be way wrong on this.

I have both a Smoke and a Fireboard. They’re both very high quality. I think the Fireboard proves are better and I’ve had nothing but incredible customer service from Fireboard.

I tend to use my Smoke when I’m doing short cooks like tritip or on my gas grill. The Fireboard is used for my low and slow cooks, like the brisket I’m doing right now.

Got a chance to use my smoke w/the gateway yesterday.   Trial and error on where to place the gateway so it would talk to my wifi and smoke.   May have to get a wifi booster so it gets better reception.   It was pretty cool when I finally got it tuned in.  I believe I'll keep it.
