#Maverick Industries ET-73 Maverick RediChek Remote Wireless Smoker Thermometer# Best Cheap Discount Sales Reviews
Used this unit for the first time today in my brand new Masterbuilt 30" smoker. I like the fact I can sit in my livingroom and monitor both the temp of the smoker and the internal temp of the food with just a glance at the remote receiver. My problem is with the temps. My Masterbuilt says it's 130 degrees, but my Redi-Check says it's 140 or higher. Now maybe I was placing it in the wrong spot inside the smoker. I hung it dead center. I noticed the probe for the Masterbuilt is up top. The smoked salmon seemed to turn out fine from what I tasted.
Anyway, I'm currently testing the unit in my oven. I set the oven temp to 170. The Redi Check registered 202. when I placed it dead center of the oven. Then I placed the probe up top, like the probe that's in the oven and after 25 minutes it finally read 170. Next I removed the probe and let it fall to 150. Then I increased the oven temp to 180 and when the oven sounded it had reached it, placed the probe on the top rack. The redi-check climbed until it show 204 and held. After approx 20 minutes it started to dropping and now reads to 186. So, with every minute it drops 1 degree. So I dont know what to tell you.
I'm going to play with the oven temps over the next few hours to see what the deal is. I cant be chasing Masterbuilt digital temps readouts and this unit's reading if it's that much off. Tomorrow I'm going up to the a Kitchen supply place and get another thermometer. Either the Smoker is off, My Oven is off or this Probe is off. Somethings not right.
I hope the "internal" food probe was accurate, as with smoking fish, you MUST get it the flesh hot enough internally to kill off parasites, yet not dry it out by overcooking/smoking it.
Tomorrow I'm trying half a chicken and will test the meat with this probe and a different one I've used for years for turkey and roasts.
Overall, I like the unit. I just hope the temps it's showing me are accurate.

WORKS GREAT - N. Hoffman - Birmingham, AL
THIS IS ONE OF TWO THERMOMETERS THAT I BOUGHT. YES MOST OF THE REVIEWS ABOUT DESIGN ARE TRUE, BUT IT IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. I HAVE USED IT FOUR TIMES NOW AND IT WORKS GREAT. BUY IT!

This little device has opened the world of grilling for all to see. The first rule of the Knights of the Round Grills is Temp, Temp, Temp...and this one is awesome.
With both dome and meat probes, it gives you real time info via a wireless connection to the base transmitter. It has max temp alarms for both meat and dome and a timer.
You will learn more about your grill temp in 1 session of grilling than you have to date.
This turns grilling into tactical application of fire to achieve perfect meat.
I give this little number an 'All of the stars in the sky' review, but they only gave me 5, so I am going with that.
Buy. It. Now.

Good Unit-Read Here For A Reception Hack - C. GANNON -
This is a good unit. I use it with a Bubba Keg Grill. However it will work with any type of grill where it'd important to know the temp of the product being cooked and also the temp of the cooking area. If the reception distance is not as far as you'd like there is a very easy and cheap modification you can make. This is the link to it: [...]
