Set it and forget it, spend time with your guests!!! The alarm will tell you when its time to walk to the grill/smoker/oven!
I absolutely LOVE this thermometer! I love that my husband can have the remote receiver with him while having a beer w the guys and I can also walk up to the smoker and check the temp. on the transmitter without having to track him down. I like to adjust the smoker temp. several times while using our smoker depending on the meat temp., smoker temp, and of course time in the smoker. This is a must have! We use it almost every weekend, we have a lot of neighborhood parties and all the guys want one. I've used it for smoking, beef brisket, pork shoulders/butts, and everyone's favorite chicken leg quarters. Neighbors have also brought over various meats to throw in the smoker and everyone loves how easy this thermometer is to use, it's self explanatory and very accurate. We have been at the neighbors house and the "done" (or at temp) alarm has gone off, it transmits an impressive distance. This is such a cool gadget. I highly recommend, It is an advantage to have a readable transmitter and a "walk around" receiver. I would not like having one readable device considering my husband and I are both "keeping an eye" out on the temp. and are never in the same place at the same time. Perfect fit for my busy/super social family! ...pic is of smoked chicken which I was able to keep super moist with perfect skin; with a little goggle research and this thermometer everyone thought I had done this a million times, this is a pic of my first time using this thermometer, made a HUGE difference knowing what was going on inside the meat and not just the temp. around the meat. No more dry overcooked meat!! LOVE IT!!!

I researched on the internet and saw your unit with great reviews. I purchased it
I used a Williams Sonoma remote for ten years, until it became non functional this thanksgiving. I rushed to the local WS store to buy a replacement.Alas, it was a different model, and did not reliably sync for more than 5 minutes...even when within 1 foot of the transmitter!I researched on the internet and saw your unit with great reviews. I purchased it, and tried it and it is quite reliable!I am, for now, HAPPY!

Good features and design. But sometimes loses connection and eats batteries.
Good features, especially the color-changing backlight. And the button layout and button feel is pretty good. Semi-rugged build (but not as rugged as it appears in the pictures).But this loses connection to the base about every 4th time I use it (requires reset, by pulling the battery).It also eats batteries when it's sitting un-used. During winter, when I only used it a few times, I only got about 3 months between battery changes. My previous (wired) meat thermometer would go years between battery changes. but on the plus side, it uses common AAA batteries, which I've switched to rechargeable.

True champ at grill cookouts
This replaced another brand which sucked. This is HIGHLY accurate. Just stick the probe into the meat, fish, chicken, etc., and run it out of the grill. Turn on both items, and you're set. It allows you to select what you're cooking, then rare, medium rare, etc, depending upon which meat you selected. It transmits wirelessly anywhere I happen to be in my house, so it must be at least 300 feet range. I haven't burnt anything since I got it. One note; Tuna fillet setting is not on it. That meat is good at 125, NOT 145 like other fish. Other than that, a true champ.

Loving it.
We do a lot of grilling and smoking during the cold and snowy weather. What a pleasure to be able to set this device, insert the probe, and go back in the warm house without having to keep going back out to check with a manual instant read thermometer and lose heat from the grill or smoker. By the way, it was also great for a ten hour smoked Texas style brisket which came out perfectly done.

More than "meats" our need
.Used this recently to cook a large (12 lb - $100+) standing rib roast. When the temp hit the set point, we removed the roast from the oven and followed the recipe for letting it rest. Our guests said it was the best roast they have had in a long time! The last time we cooked a roast, we didn't have this product and had to rely on oven temp and cooking time alone. That roast came out overcooked (an expensive fail).In my opinion, this meat thermometer paid for itself by making it hard for us to screw up the big roast!

Highly recommend
I have only used it once but it worked flawlessly. This wireless remote thermometer is very user friendly and accurate. It is perfect for allowing you to be away from the grill/smoker and know exactly your meat temps at a glance. It then alerts you when you have reached the preset temp you selected. I had to return another brand that did not perform however this one worked perfectly and is everything I was looking for in a remote temp probe. I highly recommend this one!

An outdoor thermometer that can't get wet? ( and turns it's self off)
Nice thermo but 1 flaw, they say not get it wet. I grill in the rain, snow, sun and dark. Anything that is used outdoors should be at least water resistant. When the steaks come off the grill it may get left out until I clean up after dinner, so it needs to be able to survive a bit of rain....Update: this roast it is starting to turn its self off after several hours. Replaced batteries, but it keeps turn off the transmitter, or loosing connection. If I can't trust it what good is it...
