The idea and workmanship for this are good, but the collar would not fit on my Weber grill where the lid overlaps the main fire box. The problems created by the rotation of the rotisserie are solved with the collar, thus it would not work on my grill. The product description should contain a list of the most popular grill models that it will fit.

Had read a lot about this and considered taping my ET-732 to my rotisseries but for the price it was a no brainier.

Have only used it the once on my Weber kettle and it worked a treat. Little bending of the rotisserie sides and away it went.

Definitely saved me opening the lid too often, temp was accurate (compared to what the Thermapen was showing) and the chicken was my best yet.

Does what it says on the tin.

My grill loving husband has been looking for a rotisserie thermometer for sometime. He has only used it once so far but was pleased with its temperature accuracy and the fit on the rotisserie rod.

Honest reviews on Maverick Rotisserie Thermometer

Glitch is that I have a Napoleon grill that has a cast aluminum body and lid. The collet that slides on the spit rod isn't wide enough at center where it fits in the body/lid opening (due to the thicker body/lid). But I think I can solve that by sliding on a 1/2" copper water pipe (cut a 1" nipple), and feed the temp-cable inside). They do give you a small and large collet (depending on your spit size), but I wish they had thought of the cast body/lid clearance issue. This is still a handy gadget.

Otherwise, temperature appears to be about 5 degrees on the light side when double checked at finish with a Taylor restaurant type pocket thermometer. But then I only used it once so far and will check it again. I can live with that as long as you know, as it is very convenient in tracking the cooking.

Got this to replace my Oregon scientific which died. I went through 3 Oregon Scientifics already but one I gave to my brother because I liked it so much, despite it not being reliable long term.

This one has a problem with temperature accuracy or has really high temperature-reading latency which doesn't make it very reliable for steaks. I think it even gave me wrong readings on the beer-can chicken as it didn't come out as good as it came out when I was reading the temps with the oregon scientific.

Another annoyance with this is that if you have it set to monitor the temperature, you can't use the timer at the same time.

Now that I have this, I miss my Oregon Scientific and will probably buy another one and keep this as a backup.

Unfortunately, I can't return this because I threw away the packaging so be sure you keep the packaging for more grilling attempts.
