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!

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.

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.

Functional it works well. The ability to monitor 4 things at once is great. Probes and readings are consistent and accurate. Display is easy to and the alarms are loud. Like that the magnets on receiver allows to stick it to the frig while I work about the kitchen. I do wish the transmitter also had a magnet on it, but it does have a metal loop you can use to hang it.The bad... The number 1 thing that I have a problem with is the battery life on the receiver is a problem. Not when it's in use, but when its *turned off*! More than than once I've been in a bind because I'll bring out the thermometer to monitor a smoke and the batteries in receiver are stone cold dead. Yes, the unit was turned off the last time it was used. It is not useful to have to scrounge AAA batteries when you need to get cooking. The only way to save the batteries is to remove them from the receiver. It might as well not have a power switch.The transmitter battery life is fine, lasting many sessions.

Working great and seems very accurate. Definitely a great value and it's easy to use. Would buy again

The 4 probes are cool. I am using 2 for smoker temp and 2 for meat temp. All probes at room temperature were all within 1 degree of each other. Easy to set up and use. You can't go wrong with this one. The temperature gauge that comes with any BBQ or smoker are useless garbage, never even close and off by 50 degrees, cannot be trusted. This is well worth the investment.
