Hey everyone:

What's your thoughts on the Maverick Pro Temp 100BBQ versus ThermoWorks Therma Mk4.

Looking to replace an original old Thermapen, lasted a long time and no longer reading accurately.  Interested in accuracy, response speed, and quality.......other bells and whistles would be nice too  Thanks

check with thermoworks as they may be able to walk you through recalibrating your thermapen if you have not tried that already

 Thermapen all the way..As Bar-B-Lew said check w/ Thermoworks.. They repaired my classic 'pen and it works 100%..I also have a mk4. So much better;Waterproof,automatic light,battery cost ~ a tenth the cost and using 1 "aaa" cell that last 2x longer than

the two button cells of the classic, auto on in sleep mode, adjustable sleep duration vs one set time. I think that is it..Have fun!

I have had a variety of other brands.
I am now 100% products by Thermoworks

[Bar-B-Lew]

I'm also 100% Thermoworks.  Their customer service has been great.

just bought my 1st thermopen and love it!

Several of my friends had bought other brands only to discover it was a waste of money. You can’t go wrong with the mk4...

[RWhyman]

I have no experience with Maverick, so no comments on which might be best. I use all Thermoworks products including the MK4 and can say that there customer service has been 1st rate all the way.
FYI. They are having a sale now.

I've had a Lavatools thermawamd for 3+ years and it works great and is maybe one second slower than a Thermopen.  The Thermoworks have a better build quality, but also cost more than 3x as much.

Hey, thanks for all the responses and suggestions. 

I'll contact ThermoWorks first on possibly recalibration and may consider their sale for a new MK4 too.

No need to contact them, just go here: http://www.thermoworks.com/pdf/user_manuals/Thermapens/Thermapen_Original_Calibration_Manual.pdf

Hey, thank you. I'll give it a try before calling them if I can resolve it.

At list, but they are on sale all the time at great prices, close to 40% off sometimes. Brings the MK4 down to $67 and the original around $35 or $40 if I remember right.
