Admetior Grill Smoke Thermometer Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I have an older 22" Weber Charcoal Grill. I needed a means to measure internal temperature for "Low and Slow" BBQ-ing. I thought about purchasing a new Weber Charcoal Grill that includes a lid thermometer but I just couldn't justify spending over $300 for a new grill when mine worked just fine. The T702BBQ Thermometer is a perfect size for a 22" Weber. The stem is about the same length as the Thermometer that comes with the new weber grills. You simply need to drill a 1/2" hole on the top of your lid to install this thermometer. I installed mine in the center near the Handle. After installing I smoked a 7lbs Pork Butt for 9-hours and was able to maintain a constant internal temperature between 225 and 250. I highly recommend this thermometer!

I don't write many reviews unless something is either really good or really bad. This thermometer fits into the really good category.

I ordered two of these Admetiors for use on my Char-Griller Smokin' Pro. When I received them, I submerged the probe on each into boling water. Both read 210 degrees. That was expected. Installing these gages required drilling a 1/2" hole in the smoker. Once installed, they were firmly attached by hand tightening the retaining bolt. That was nice. These two thermometers were in addition to the factory thermometer which is mounted on the top of the smoker rather than at grill-height. I installed both Admetior thermometers at grill height, one at either end of the smoker's top.

Where these thermometers really shine is when the sun goes down. They are indiglo green needles and numbers on a black face. Running the smoker for six hours often requires conntinuing into the evening after the sun goes down. With nothing more than a small amount of indirect light, these thermomters are easily readable. The factory thermomether is an aluminum needle and aluminum face with black numbers. Even with a flashlight, the factory thermometer must be studied to be read. After using the Admetiors, I now don't like the factory aluminum gage. There is no comparison between the readability of the Admetior Grill Smoke Thermometer and the factory aluminum gage. The Admetior has it hands down, no question about it.

I would reccomend the Admetior Grill Smoke Thermometer to anyone upgrading their factory thermometers on a smoker. It is a very worthwhile improvement.

I bought this for a smoker. To test it, I borrowed a high end digital probe thermometer and placed the probe in the smoker at the same point where this thermometer was. The Admetior thermometer read 40º to 100º below temperature as I monitored it for about an hour with the smoker at various temperatures. No matter how long I let it sit there, the needle would never rise to the correct temperature. I am returning this.

Installation was a snap. Drill a hole, insert thermometer and hand tighten nut on back. The unit is accurate and maintenance free. From the time of order to thermometer in-hand was only three days. Would recommend...

I thought I'd leave a simple tip for those of you who are thinking of buying one. This review is specifically for those who use a weber kettle grill. It works great for me but because I was uncertain of its 'weatherproofness' I just put the thermometer tip through one of the vent holes on my weber grill. I was also a little reluctant to drill a hole through the porcelin enameled lid. This naturally limits the air vent control from the top but you can always control the heat from the bottom as well. When your done grilling, let the thermometer cool off and wipe it down with a damp cloth and bring it inside. The other Amazon reviews seem to be accurate.

IGRILL MEAT PROBE I have been using the maverick brand probes for many yrs and have had a couple of failures with the probes but nothing like the igrill probes. When receiving igrill for fathers day as a gift one of the new probes would not work and the second probe quit on the second time using it. Contacted igrill two weeks ago and they said they would ship one probe to me. Have not seen it yet ! Nice concept, but probes are junk and too costly for replacement after a couple of useage. Now I have another electronic for the junk pile. If I had zero stars to rate I would !

If anyone has a better solution please add comments.

Thanks

I don't usually do something like this but I had my first igrill and one of the probes failed. I went to best buy, bought a new igrill took new probes out and replaced them with the bad ones within 14 day return policy. if they put out a garbage product they deserve the return hassles that evolve from companies like best buy sending the entire unit back as not working. as other probes go bad I will continue to buy new igrills and return them with the bad probes. i encourage everyone to do the same.

Best Deals for 21st Century B36B Universal Electronic Igniter

After purchasing a new gas grill with an electronic ignitor, I decided that they are the way to go. I took the old grill I was using to my second home and decided that I wanted to upgrade the troublesome piezo push button starter. This electronic starter did the trick, but there is something that anyone wanting to do the same should be aware of. None of the newer electronic starters have a small enough shank to mount into an existing piezo starter's hole. You will need to either enlarge the existing hole or drill another hole. The size of hole that this starter requires is 7/8". When you purchase this you will need to also purchase a step drill bit that can drill a 7/8" hole. Once you have the correct size hole drilled, installation is very easy. The new starter works nicely and is a major improvement over the old piezo push button starter.

This isnt the first thermometer I have gotten. I have had at least 2 other ones of similar low price that I had problems with. One would not read correctly...it's hard to judge temperature but I could be absolutely certain that my chicken was not 120 degrees after several hours of cooking (it was a big chicken and I kept putting it back in, big mistake) The second one worked for a month or two and than the mechanism kept sticking... It would read some rediculously low number under 100 but if I would shake it, it would go up. Clearly if I was cooking poulty I wanted something more accurate.

I was going to buy a more expensive model but decided to try a more cost effective one, yet again. This doesn't always work sometimes you get what you pay for (or less). In this case I have had the thermometer for at least a year and have no reason to question the results. The readings seem to be within bounds of what I would expect for how long I have been cooking something. And I haven't had any problems with the mechanisms.

Instant read is a bit optimistic and it will take a few seconds, at least, to read the internal temperature. But that gives me time to glance at the little case with reccommended internal temperatures. I have seen different recommended internal temps in different places (generaly a *bit* lower) but I tend to go with the higher temps anyway so for me its a good gauge.

I have two minor issues with it... very minor but still I thought I would mention it. First I do not get the pocket clip. If I test a chicken and its below temp I wash the probe and let it air dry for the next go around. I can't see the logic of putting it back in the case and putting it in a pocket. If I am not cooking I certainly do not wear it on my pocket. So that feature baffles me a bit. I suppose if you are wearing a shirt with a front pocket and want to wear it before you check your meats, you could. But I guess I don't get that. Second, when I check something and its almost at the temp and I want to take it out and let carry over cooking do the rest...I have left the probe in...only to come back 10 minutes later to have it read lower. That makes no sense to me. Yesterday I took out a roast chicken at 175 to let carry over cooking bring it to 180. I went back in 10 minutes. I had left the probe in and covered the bird with foil. And the temp read less, significantly less. That makes no sense to me. The only thing I can think of is that this thermometer can not manitain the temp and would need to be re-inserted for each read. Although I can not understand why this would occur. It seems to me it should just continue to maintain what ever temp its reads and go up...or down... but the chicken should have been hotter not colder after 10 minutes under foil, in the roasting pan, even on top of the stove.

Even with those minor issues, and as I said they are minor, this was an excellent purchase. It was inexpensive and effective and I have had no mechanical issues with it. If you don't have one this would be a great item to buy.

I've had this thermometer for a year now. Why, I don't know, as it's all but useless.

First, the "insta-read" is anything but instant. It takes only a second or two less to reach a stable temperature than the old Taylors --if that. 6 seconds is the minimum and 10 is more likely. This is plenty of time to ruin a piece of fish. I've checked the CDN against the standard Taylor dial thermometers many, many times, with always the same results.

Second, or maybe it should be first, it's wildly inaccurate, and inconsistently inaccurate at that. I've checked it against a very accurate scientific thermometer, using a large water bath, again and again, and on a good day the CDN will register 20 to 40 degrees high or low (the low end tends to be high and the high end low, but you can't predict by how much).

You've watched food demonstrators touch the surface of the demo food with the tip for an instant? Forget it. It won't register at all unless you plunge it into the meat (there's a mark on the stem, not that it matters as it lies no matter what).

There is supposed to be an adjustment you can make, but there are no instructions for doing so and the bolt on the back won't budge--

I thought this thermometer was cool because of the temperature guide/label on the sheath.

Also the metal clip.

When I got the item, it came in a NASTY black cover with no label.

This is going to be returned.

Honest reviews on CDN IRT220 InstaRead NSF Expanded Range Food Thermometer

The pictured thermometer shows a nice metal clip for attaching the thermometer to a container whose contents temp you are measuring. This thermometer, in fact, comes with a sheath that has a cheap plastic clip that isn't flexible enough to attach it to anything without snapping itself off. It also doesn't have the temp conversion chart on the side as shown.

This keeps happening more often on Amazon, usually with the resellers doing the bait and switch with the photos, but this was supposedly "ships from and sold by Amazon.com" so they don't have that excuse. I hate playing the postage game so I'm just going to try and rig something up myself with wire to make this work for the time being.

Temperature reading is relatively slow, and the nut at the stem of the unit is loose and this will change the calibration. Seems I have to calibrate it with my digital thermometer before I use it.

Best Deals for OneGrill Hexagon Tumble Rotisserie Basket - Fits Large Spit Rods

I like grilling, and I like my rotisserie, so a hexagonal spit basket sounded like it would be a good addition to my bbq toolbox. However, I had read a lot of negative reviews of products of this type from other manufacturers, (check out the comments that have been left for the Napoleon Rotisserie 64003 Tumble Basket, Non-stick or the GrillPro 24764 Non-Stick Tumble Basket).

At first glance, the OneGrill product looked the same as the others, but it had no comments at all, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Look closely at the picture of this product & you'll see that this is made up of two (identical) half-cages, each of which has a screw at one end, and a hole (OK a bent bar) at the other end. You put the two halves face to face, thread the spit through the holes and tighten the screws. There's not a lot to go wrong.

These cages are mostly intended to be used for making grilled vegetables, and I'm sure they do that well enough. But I found a different purpose for mine that you may want to consider. I am a big fan of Alton Brown's "Good Eats" TV show, and I was especially enthralled by his program about making Gyros at home (it's on youtube with a title something like 'my big fat greek sandwich"). Essentially, his recipe calls for you to make a kind of a lamb meatloaf, skewer it and put it on a rotisserie (and I'm talking about a horizontal rotisserie, since most of us don't have a vertical unit like the ones you see in Greek restaurants). According to the comments on the foodnetwork site, a number of people who tried it found that the meatloaf fell apart while it was turning on the spit. Not good....

Enter the OneGrill basket. I made the loaf per Brown's recipe, and put it in the cage before skewering it. The cage holds the meat together so there is no danger of the gyros loaf tumbling down into the firebox while you're cooking. The results were nothing short of amazing.

Now admittedly, the cage is HOT when you take it off the grill, and taking it apart while it's hot can be a problem so it doesn't address all the complaints about the Napoleon & GrillPro cages but hey you're barbecuing, what do you expect?.. I suspect I'm going to find a lot more uses for this thing.

Honest reviews on OneGrill Hexagon Tumble Rotisserie Basket - Fits Large Spit Rods

I had a tumble basket about 15 years ago that was cylindrical with a door on the side. That worked great. Lost that in the divorce, so purchased this one, since the only other cylindrical basket with trap door was ALOT more money. This basket works ok. Used it once so far with drumsticks. Pieces of chicken fell off the bone out into grill and some drumstick ends got stuck in spaces. Had to monitor it a lot and rescue pieces that fell out (tasty rescue for me!). The two halves of the basket do not fit together well which creates a large gap that would certainly allow smaller food to fall through. Next time I will figure a way to jury rig the two halves together (wire or something) so it doesn't shift during tumbling and let out food. For the price it is as I expected based on other reviews. So just manage your expectations when purchasing. I don't make tumble chicken/food too much to justify the splurge of the higher quality cylindrical one I see online. Would not recommend or buy again

As others have noted, this item comes with no instructions, fits loosely, and cannot be used for veges, etc as it moves from side to side as it tumbles, exposing a relatively large gap. Works well for large items, such as chicken legs, etc., which is what we bought it for, so it gets three stars. Looks like you have to move way up to the next level to get one that really works. We are using this on 22" Weber with rotisserre.

Getting the chicken onto the can holder is a little difficult. But once she's on, BBQing the bird couldn't be easier. You don't have to worry about your Beer Can Chicken toppling over on the grill or on it's way from the grill to the kitchen.

I appreciate that this product folds up, since we don't have much storage space to warrant more fancy kitchen gadgets. It is simple and sturdy--seems well made. This was definitely worth the price for the convenience it offers, and small amount of space it takes up when not in use.

I have used with both beer and soda cans. It looks like the it is designed to hold the can in placed securely, but I found it a little loose and I have to hold the 2 upright arms on the can with one hand while I place the chicken in place. I also found it a little tricky to remove while the chicken is hot. Spaying with a cooking spray helps. Having a 2nd set of hands to assist makes it much easier. Have someone hold the base of the folding chicken roaster while you lift the chicken off.
