TP20 500FT Wireless Meat Thermometer with Dual Meat Probe, Digital Cooking Food Meat Thermometer Wireless for Smoker BBQ Grill Thermometer Beef Steak Fish Turkey Thermometer

This is the first meat thermometer that actually worked correctly for me. I've trusted others only to be burned because they weren't accurate. I got to the point where I just couldn't trust the readings. This one was spot on and very accurate. The monitor was also handy as I could keep track of the temp wherever I was in the house and the turkey came our perfect. I will definitely be keeping this one and highly recommend it!

EXCELLENT! Money well spent! Since I’ve been using it, my culinary skills have increased by 90 percent! I especially love the fact that you can carry one with you to make multi-tasking that much easier!

We grill a lot of fish in the summer, and lamb and beef during the winter. When grilling an expensive cut of meat, a Prime tenderloin for example, preserving the meat quality is imperative. A remote reading thermometer makes possible temperature monitoring while continuing to entertain guests. Here in Alaska, it's also often more comfortable to be inside rather than outside. All of these devices measure the temperature at the tip of metal probes, and transmit that temperature information to a receiver via a radio-frequency link. This allows the user to remotely monitor the temperature at the probe tip. I researched these radio-frequency-based remote reading thermometers to replace a long-time device and chose the ThermoPro TP-20. After thoroughly reading directions, I inserted the enclosed batteries (very convenient), inserted the two temperature probes, and the sender and receiver established a radio-frequency link, with no need for my assistance. The two probes showed the same temperature probes provided the same temperature value, a quick check that the device was calibrated. I've not owned a dual probe remote thermometer before, but I used them both as I monitored the two ends of a 6-pound tenderloin. My family has rare-meat lovers and well-done lovers, and being able to monitor the thin and thick ends of the tenderloin allowed me to adjust the various heat sources on a gas grill. I usually use a charcoal grill and don't have the ability to control the heating to this degree, but it's still a useful piece of information. Of course I log the data, so the temperature differential will also be interesting to log. When planning a meal, it's useful to know that a 6-pound tenderloin, cooked on gas, with the meat at this temperature and outside temperature at that value, will require 1:30 to cook. The manufacturer claims that the sender and receiver will communicate over a 300-ft maximum distance, a distance that I did not measure, but it certainly worked well through a 120-foot distance and through heavy plaster walls. I am very impressed with that performance. The receiver, the controller of the system, has pre-sets for FDA-approved cooking temperatures for a wide range of likely-to-be-grilled foods. Although I didn't use the feature, the device also allows one to set other temperatures, instead. One can change from Fahrenheit to Celsius degrees, as well as access a timer and other features. Read the directions! Directions are easy to follow. The device was well-packaged, and included everything as advertised. It's easy to use and provides accurate temperature information. My first use was for an almost-two-hour grilling of a tenderloin cooked over gas. I enthusiastically recommend this device.

So, I had gotten a smoker, and the included probe just wasn't cutting it. I needed more than one sensor, and also an alert. Sometimes I get busy, even though I have three briskets and two racks of ribs on the smoker. I didn't need NASA precision, nor did I need one that hooked up to my phone to alert me to temperature changes while I am in the grocery store. Just wanted something to measure the temperature of the meats while I am not staring at the smoker. I have to say I am happy with my purchase. I like that it has two probes, that the control unit displays both temps at once, and that I can set alerts on it. Don't like that the probes give different readings by a few degrees in the exact same spot or immediately adjacent to each other out of the meat. Also the low battery warning is lacking. So there I was, smoking an 18 lb brisket for a family get together. Stay up till 4:00 AM before I give up on hitting 185 degrees before passing out (was at 170.) I wrap my meat and let it finish cooking while I get a few hours of sleep. Mind you, I still use the probe on my smoker as well. I wake up at 8:00 AM, and roll over to look at my receiver display, and there is nothing. No display whatsoever. Dadgumit!!!!!!!!! Roll out of bed, dodge dogs and kids piled in the living room and manage to make it to my smoker to see that it is at 198 degrees and 205 degrees on the sensors. (Smoker sensor said 199.) (Cue music from Frozen) For the first time in a long time, my brisket is not as good and my wife actually says something not positive about my skills. Did not, have not seen anything for a low battery indicator, even when I took batteries that show they are low in other things and put them in. Other than that, I am quite happy with it.

Simple design, the displays are a good size, the connectivity is fast and solid, the temps are accurate as verified by multiple independent electronic temp probes. Both screens of the device have a backlight on the two devices that remains on for about 15 seconds when activated. I’ve used this thermometer setup many times and it works well. The two probes allow the user to measure two items being cooked or one item and the grill or over temperature. The research I did demonstrated that this setup is used by many pro BBQ cooks and chefs. I thought about the wireless probe models but that introduces connectivity and charging issues and higher replacement costs if you need a new probe or two and the initial cost is 4-5 times what this one cost me on sale. I am happy with this device. Hope that helps!

These are very well made thermometer units. I had another before this but it was made of a cheaper plastic and just crapped out after a while. This one is covered in a rubbery material that make them less slippy-feeling. You can either hang the transmitter unit or use the fold out leg to set it on something. You can do the same with the receiver. It was easy to figure out how to set it up to follow the temps, and you can go with the pre-programmed temps or set it up to go off early if you want to bring the food in and rest it. We like to take our pork off early so it doesn't dry out and taste like paper. The one I had before this was difficult to sync, and had to be re-synced before each use. This one is a lot easier, and I only had to do it once. But the best part of all - and something I thought I would NEVER use - is the ability to watch two different temps at the same time, on the same receiver. I didn't think I'd ever use it, but I use it all the time. You would need to invest in two separate units to do the things I'm about to tell you. 1) You can just use one probe (which is how I thought I would use it exclusively). 2) You can put one probe into the meat and use the other to monitor the ambient temp inside the grill/smoker/oven. They give you metal clips to keep the probe tip away from hot surfaces for that purpose. 3). You can use it to monitor temps in two different parts of the meat (or other item you're cooking). That works great for things like chicken or turkey that have dark and light meats that take different times to be cooked right. 4). You can cook two different kinds of meat (or chili, or casseroles, etc.) at the same time, even on two separate cooking fires. The final plus I can think of is that both the transmitter and the receiver operate on batteries, so you can even take them camping. The ONLY thing I think is missing is a storage/carrying case of some kind. I just "borrowed" one of my wife's clear plastic refrigerator containers and - problem solved. Everyone who is a semi-serious cook/griller/camp cook needs to get one of these! Jan 8, 2017 UPDATE I just found out that there IS a case for this item. Actually, there are several. One is from a . I got an email from Amazon with a link to one from a company called Caseling. I ordered one (from a company called LTGEM) that's a few bucks cheaper, and that has space below the receiver for an extra set of batteries - again, great for people who use this for camping. Paying $15-$20 for a case seems pricey, considering that a couple of bucks worth of Tupperware will do the same thing (and you probably already have it in your cabinets somewhere). But I got one anyway because my wife says I have money to burn ;-)

The ThermoPro thermometer for me is a convient simple tool to use. I've used the thermometer in roasting meats to perfection. The second probe I've used to check and adjust oven temperature. I'm confident enough after several usages to depend on the unit to signal when meat is done. Custom temp settings is a breeze to setup. If you get an HHH reading for temp, be sure to insert temp probe all the way into the connector. Note: to determine accuracy, place both probes in a glass of hot water along with another temp probe to compare readings.

I've had and used this for over a month now. After waiting to see how well it worked and held up I can say that it was really worth the purchase. I tested the probes in an ice water bath and one probe was perfect. The other was just showing an error that kept coming up no matter how many times I unplugged and replugged probe from the transmitter. I was minutes away from either returning the thermometer or emailing customer support for a solution. Not wanting to ask for help or return something when the error may be my own, I carefully examined the unit and probe. I noticed that the probe in question was not seating as deep as the properly working probe. After looking for debris or something else that may have hindered it from fully inserting the probe and not finding anything, I just pushed the probe plug in very hard. There was an audible click as it worked passed what ever was holding it up and it seated deeply and correctly. After that the sensor read the ice water temperature correctly and on par with the other probe. Since working out that problem I have successfully smoked brisket, trout, a swineapple, whole chickens and beef roasts. The transmitter and receiver worked flawlessly each time. I have my smoker outside my garage and about 200 feet from my kitchen. There have been no errors at all. Each time it has been easy to set the temperature for the receiver to audibly alert at. The alert is loud enough and persistent enough (it will not stop until you stop it) that it's hard to miss when you're busily preparing sides and time gets away from you. I've dropped the receiver on my asphalt driveway when it fell out of my apron pocket. The silicone protective case worked well. There was no damage to the unit and you couldn't even tell the receiver fell. I haven't had another problem with the probes but if the company really will replace a broken probe, free of charge, than this thermometer is really worth it and I would recommend it to any friend that was looking for one.
