BAFX Products (TM) - Wireless Grilling / Barbeque Meat Thermometer Review

Customer Ratings:

My only complaint, which is relatively minor, is that I have accidentally pushed one of the buttons on the face while I was carrying it, and it lost its setting (eg rather than cooking Beef, it thought I was cooking Chicken). I have learned to lay it on a countertop rather than carry it, and then it works fine. Ideally, you would be able to lock the input buttons so you can actually carry the device or clip it to a belt as intended. But other than that minor complaint, it has been a joy to use, and the results are better than any other meat thermometer I have used.

I have used it a number of times. On one occasion it would not show a reading despite every attempt to restart or reset the unit. On all of the other occasions where it did work, it worked fine. "Wireless" is not exactly accurate. As are all other "wireless" thermometers, the probe that is inserted into the meat is connected by a cable to a base unit. The wireless connection is between the base unit and the portable unit that provides the readout.

My friend had a similar device and I was quite jealous of him. After doing some looking around I found they tend to go for anywhere from $40-80. I ran into this one for $25 and figured I would give it a shot.

So far works great, have use it with steaks, tenderloins, burgers and chicken. With the first few uses I verified the temp readings of this with my standard thermometer and everything was within about a degree or so.

I did not find that using this for quicker cooking meats like burgers was really helpful at all but when it comes to the longer things like tenderloins it's wonderful!

Easy to set up and get going, it even came with the batteries required to operate it! Cant ask for much more than that!

Honest reviews on BAFX Products (TM) - Wireless Grilling / Barbeque Meat Thermometer

First, the instructions come on a small piece of paper that is extremely hard to read. The company has told me that they will put a PDF on their website so it can be blown up.

Second, I went to the manufacturer's website and there was no help there for the thermometer. After our discussion, they have assured me that they will adding a Q&A section to help.

Third, The first time I used it the thermometer was off by over 20 degrees, after talking with the owner of the company that the unit was defective, sometimes that happens. They are sending me a replacement at no cost. No one can be 100% perfect, but as long as they make good I am happy.

Even though it took a few hours for the company to contact me, I was very happy with the resolution and the owner was very interested in my feedback and willing to make adjustments to the website.

Honestly, I have yet to try it for the grill. I can say, however, it does not work for a smoker, as the temperatures reached into the upper 300s (after only 15 min of cooking) and my smoker only reaches a temperature of 225 degrees F.

I have tried this product in my crockpot, and it worked fine. I have no ideas why it would not function for the smoker, and I did not try to contact the company. For $21, I do not feel as though I am at a loss....
