This product has worked very well for me. I use it with a 30" Masterbuilt Electric Smoker, and the ET-73 smoker probe is far more accurate than the one on the smoker. The cooking temp reported by the MES can be off by as much as 30*, but this thermometer lets me know exactly where the cooking temp is. It also does a great job of reading the meat temp and displaying both of them largely enough that they can both be read from a distance.
I only have 2 complaints: (1) you have to open the battery compartment on the transmitter to turn it on, and (2) the transmitting range isn't very good. It won't even go into the kitchen from the garage with only one wall/door in the way. I've seen some mods online to add an antenna to the receiver to increase its range, but I'm entirely too lazy and unskilled to try that.
So I've knocked off one star because of these two things, but I otherwise love this product. It is very accurate and extremely helpful.
