has anyone tried one of those wireless BBQ thermometers? is it worth to spend almost 100 bucks on something like that? My major doubt is that the probe is pretty thick compared to a normal kitchen thermometer. Is that an issue?

of course you can check the temperature with a cheap kitchen thermometer, but something like this is much more convenient
>constant temperature control instead of having to remove the meat from the heat to poke it with a probe multiple times
>internal and external temperature at the same time
>alarm once it reaches the desired temperature
>estimated cooking time prediction, so you can adjust the temperature if you're too late or too early (don't know how accurate it is, but it's a potentially cool feature)

So youd rather pay 2-3x as much for a proprietary probe and app that can be shut down at any time and make your shit useless instead of dealing with moving a wire twice, maybe three times when adjusting your meat? Rofl.

The one I got for my sister as she smokes briskets and pork bellies all the time came with its own digital display. So I don't have to worry about an app shutting down, cuz the thing doesn't have that. It just communicates either bluetooth to the display or via home network to the display/phone/computer as it does have that capability as well. However the display will never not work. Great for when she starts up a smoker at 11pm and needs to go and wrap it at like 4am or refill the pellets. The meat tells her when to get up, instead of guessing by alarm clock.

A steak is not a completely uniform thing, there are points in it that are thinner than others. You have to check both ends, you cant do this with one of these remote ones.
The ONLY use for a thermometer of this type is a super long cook, like a brisket, or a ham or some shit.
Pointless piece of gear unless you are smoking or some shit.

Yeah, every thermometer in the world says to stick it in the thickest part, no clue what he’s trying to argue. Personally I would guess these wireless ones are less reliable simply because most wireless things are less reliable than wired counterparts, but good construction will probably make a bigger difference.

Or you can just use your eyes, nose and ears. Like we've been doing for the past 50K years.
Eyes: The colour of the preparation changes. It's ready. Or the colour of the released juices changes. Means it's ready.
Nose: the perfume of the preparation changes. It's ready.
Ears: the sound the preparation makes in the pan changes. Means it's ready.

With a thermometer you're always too late unless you completely stop the cooking process (ice bath).

You would think so, until you realize these two things:
A) most are cheap Chinese junk that don't read temperature properly
B) most use Bluetooth to transmit data to your phone, so you have to stay within about 20 feet (or so) of the device for it to work
C) once you leave range of the device, like go inside, no app will make any audible indication of this so 9 time out of 10 you won't even know it's out of range until you wonder how your meat is doing and you walk outside and it reconnects and your app chimes telling you that your meat is now 40 degrees overcooked

I mean pellets are probably the most cost effective smoking medium if you don't live with ample wood supplies that you can harvest yourself. Buying wood for smoking yourself gets crazy expensive while pellets are cheap since it's just sawdust extruded with a binder.

people are acting like technology fails all the time. Malfunctioning can happen, but these days even cheap chinese-made electronic gadgets are more reliable than people give them credit for, especially if they're from a reputable western brand.
at that point you just keep your old digital thermometer around as a parachute.
