ThermoPro TP27 500FT Long Range Wireless Meat Thermometer for Grilling and Smoking with 4 Probes Smoker BBQ Grill Thermometer Kitchen Food Cooking Thermometer for Meat

fallow the directions on how to use. then it works great

In my house, the barbecue is not anywhere near a door. To reach my grill I have to open the back door from the kitchen, run down the deck steps, hang a hard left, and then reverse the process to come back in. What this means is that once I'm outside grilling, I'm staying there. Not a problem until it rains (yes, I've grilled in inclement weather before). With this handy temperature, you can keep an eye on your grill with ease. I've been grilling for years so I have an intuitive sense of how long it takes to grill under normal conditions. But normal conditions can change, like when it's hot or sunny or snowing out. That's when this thermometer comes in handy. Makes a great gift for the griller in your life.

Great product. I had problems with the probes recording the appropriate temperatures and called the company. The was extremely helpful and made some adjustments. I like to run to prongs per large meat item and they would show a 15 to 20 degree difference. I finally realized a difference in the depths of the prongs by a 1/4 would throw them off. I now use my digital quick read and find the coldest part of the meat and place both prongs at that depts. They now stay within a degree or so.

We replaced our 20 year old grill a few weeks ago. Since we got a Weber I was looking at the iGrill as a nice add-on. I think the iGrill looks like a fine product, I choose the this ThermoPro model for the following reasons - The iGrill comes with the ability to show propane tank level. I don't need this since my grill is natural gas. - I also have a smoker and a charcoal grill. With the ThermoPro I can use it on all these. - ThermoPro comes with 4 probes already. Not sure I will ever use 4 but nice to have. - ThermoPro was a bit less expensive. The only knock I have so far is a wish 2 of the probes were a bit shorter in length. That way I could pick the best length for the cut of meat I am monitoring.

This wireless thermometer package includes the transmitter, the receiver, four temperature probes, and a couple of metal clips that you can use when a probe is not stuck into something you are cooking. The transmitter and receiver each require two AAA batteries, and those are included as well. I prefer gadgets that use common battery types like this, because I always have some around the house. The parts appear to be of high quality. The four probes are fairly long, so large cuts of meat are no problem. The probes are color coded, so if you plug them into the corresponding connections on the transmitter it may help you remember what is what. You don't have to do so, of course, and you can use one to all four probes depending on your needs. My unit worked out-of-the box. I installed the batteries in the transmitter and receiver, plugged in the probes, and both units began displaying probe temperatures. No “pairing” was necessary. The probes register temperatures the same or very close to what I see from a Thermapen instant read thermometer. No tools were required to install the batteries. The battery compartments in each piece are surrounded with a rubber seal, so this unit will probably withstand less than perfect weather conditions. Both units have magnets on the back, so you can stick them on a metal surface. The transmitter has a flip out stand. The receiver has a clip that will work on a belt or pocket, and the clip can be folded out to make a stand. This strikes me as very well-thought-out design. I don't always use all four probes, but it is a big convenience when cooking several thick steaks to different temperatures. It is also great for cooking a large cut of meat — a whole hog, for example — where you want to monitor temperature in different parts. The probes can be stuck in what you are cooking, of course, or you can position them to measure the air temperature in a grill or oven. This is especially useful for cooking barbecue. The temperature alarms can be set individually for each probe. You can set each alarm to trigger when a specific temperature is reached, or you can set alarms to trigger when the measured temperature is outside a specified range. The latter is useful, for example, when you want to keep your cooker at a steady internal temperature for “low and slow” cooking. My only complaint that the package does not include a case for the transmitter, receiver, and probes. None of this stuff is very fragile, but careful storage will certainly extend its useful life. I made a partitioned wooden storage box. ThermoPro also makes a storage case (about $18), but it doesn't look like it has space to store all four of the probes with this unit. Other than the lack of a case, I'm very satisfied with this unit.

This is a good sturdy thermometer great for grilling. The 4 temperature probes were great for cooking more different pieces of meat at once. The wireless monitor was great too for working in the kitchen while the meat was coming up to temperature on the grill. It's an awesome tool. I can't wait to smoke a few slabs of ribs with it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Listen folks......my new ThermoPro TP827W Digital Thermometer is the end all in getting the perfect meat temp! I've had the thermopro tp20 for past few years and have up graded to this 4 probe bad boy! I cannot say enough about how awesome it is! If you love meat ,you need to get it cooked perfect to you personal liking. Now I can smoke 4 pork butts at the same time!

My ONLY gripe about the product is petty. I wish there was a little more bend protection where they wire meets the probe. Otherwise I love it. Strong magnets, easy to read, bright backlight, nice long probes, probe wires are steel braided and sturdy, loud alarm or vibrate is nice for remote device. Wire caddy for the probes is a thoughtful touch so you don't have a bunch of loose wires in the kitchen drawer.

Haven't actually used it on a cook yet. I have tested and compared to a well established competitor and found it to be equally accurate. I have used other ThermoPro products and have found them equally as accurate and reliable, cost less too. I purchased this to monitor pit and food temps in my pellet cooker

setting a temperature for your probe can prove to be difficult, however when everything is set it works great. the remote unit works well, however if you want to carry it around in your pocket, it's going to beep. The "thermo-pro" logo on the top of each unit is a touch button that turns the backlight on. This gets annoying when you're moving around and it's in your pocket.
