Buy Maverick Remote Smoker Dual Probe Wireless Thermometer ET-73

Maverick Remote Smoker Dual Probe Wireless Thermometer ET-73
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

I recently got into BBQ smoking and realized pretty quickly that I needed a thermometer. The thermometer that came stock with my smoker turned out to be off by at least 100 degrees. An oven thermometer did the trick at first, but I found that I was opening the smoker way too often to check the temp resulting in heat loss. At the end of a smoke, I was also opening it way too often to check meat temperature. This product not only allowed me to keep track of both, but also let me keep track of it from inside the house! Since the weather is getting colder out, this is a definite plus.

The first thing I did was check the accuracy. I put both of the probes in a pan of water and brought it to a rapid boil. One probe read 212, and the other 213, one degree off. Next I put both in a large glass of water and ice. Both were showing 32 degrees between the ice and water. The tests turned out far better than I had expected.

So far I have used this for three 12-14 hour smokes, and at least 2 6 hour smokes and the batteries are still good. The probes clean easily, and I have had no significant problems.

One thing I noticed is that one of the probes sees to have a bit of melted rubber protruding between the grill temp probe and the connected wire. Since I have never had either probe about 255 degrees, I find that a bit troubling. Not sure I want to use it for a direct grilling application where the temps can go over 400 easily.

I have not had a chance to see how the outside unit handles rain.

All in all, I would not think twice of buying another one of these if I had a need.

The E-72 is a nice unit for people using a smoker, since you need to monitor the smoker temp and the meat, but this model has a few odd things you need to be aware of. It's range can be very short. It says 100feet, but that is in an open field with no obstructions. If you are going through a wall from outside to inside, expect to get about 20 feet.

Also the on/off switch for the transmitter is inside the battery case. Very odd design.

Maverick just came out with a new model (the ET-372) that corrects these problems. As of this review, it's not sold on Amazon, but keep watching it's worth getting the new one.

I've been using this produce with my Weber smoker for six months now, and it is the most important tool that I have. I've found it to be accurate within a few degrees (on the food side) of my instant read thermometers and by not having to open the lid to check temperatures I don't have to deal with the heat you lose doing that. Even though the remote unit is plastic, hanging it on the outside of the smoker works perfectly well. Setup took a bit of time the first few tries, then I found it to be straight forward. I only have two issues. First, having to open up the unit to turn it on is a minor hassle (it isn't that big of a deal, just a minor inconvenience). The other issue had nothing to do with using it with my smoker I used it in my gas barbecue and had a major flareup (wasn't paying close attention) and that shorted the food probe WHICH they mention may happen. I'm getting the high-temp food probe from them (wish it had been included in the first place). For my smoker, it worked perfectly fine. I recommend this unit to everyone.

The first time I used this dual thermometer I loved it! I smoked a pork shoulder in the green egg over night and felt safe everything was ok because I had this unit on my bedside table as I slept, and I could check the temperature of the smoker and the meat at any time. About the third time I used it the thermometer was showing an extremely high temperature and would not change. I read that this could happen so I bought a new probe and it is still broken. What seemed to be the perfect thermometer is useless. I give it one star because I've already received the new probe and that did nothing to help.

This thermometer has worked great. Maverick's customer service is great as well: at one point I thought the food probe was giving a bad reading so I called them & they immediately offered to send a replacement. They sent the replacement but I found that the problem was with something I was doing incorrectly.....It was NOT the thermometer's fault.

A great feature on this kit is the capability to set a temperature range ( minimum & maximum) for which an alarm will sound when the temp falls out of this range. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because the remote unit's alarm cannot be muted when it is triggered & that gets a little bit annoying. This is not a biggie when compared to what it does well. I would recommend this to anyone that want to try to control the temps in a bbq pit or smoker and NOT have to hover over the pit to maintain the temp at the correct level.

I was very close to buying the iGrill, but had my reservations with BlueTooth. I know how keyboards and earpieces lose their connection and the sometimes difficulty in getting them reconnected is frustrating. Reviews told me of disconnect problems with iPhone and iPad devices. Otherwise, I'm on iOS guy and always looking for ways to enhance that experience.

The Maverick uses different (radio) technology to connect the base and remote units. They work extremely well together. Just remember to power up the remote before the base. The probes read accurately. The only complaints I have are that the units are bit bulkier than they need to be. And the temp change is a 1 degree increment that only goes up. So at its default setting, I have to cycle over 600ยบ to come back around to a lower temp. Otherwise it is a well built, accurate and reliable grilling thermometer.

I've used other remote thermometers, but this one is the best. Its remote function works as advertised. I can smoke a pork roast (my specialty), which requires many hours on low heat. The Maverick keeps track of the smoker's internal temp and the meat's temp while allowing me to do other tasks and not have to keep checking the smoker. Other remote thermometers lose their signal frequently, requiring me to reset the transmitter. No so with this one. Once it is synced, it stays synced.

Honest reviews on Maverick ET732 Long Range Wireless Dual 2 Probe BBQ Smoker Grill

I love this thermometer! It is accurate and has an excellent range. In addition, the ability to monitor the temperature of both the meat you are cooking and the temperature of the grill or smoker really helps to give you excellent results. I would recommend it to anyone serious about their BBQ.

I bought this to use with a smoker. It is really important to control the smoker internal temp accurately and smoker builtin thermometers generally aren't that accurate. I had read that the cables were the weak point in this unit, so I was extremely careful handling the cables. Nevertheless, after THREE uses, the grill probe stopped working. I assume it was the cable. I think this is a piece of expensive junk.

Honest reviews on Cooks Fork, Forged, Extra Heavy

Like the other review mentioned, this fork (I received the 14-inch size) is quite heavy -even more so than some other, more modern designs. The tines are sharp, the wood is real, and if you're looking for a heavy-duty, solidly-built carving fork, you really can't go wrong.

My one complaint: The rivets that hold the wood to the metal aren't all flush with the surface. It's a very minor complaint, but for the price I paid, I can't complain at all!

Although feature-packed, the quality of this grill is a major disappointment:

The front doors won't install correctly due to pivot pins that are too short. I've given up on them and now leave them off.

The temperature gauge doesn't work at all, and the way it attaches is unsecure. It also will no longer stay on.

After one winter with a heavy-duty cover under a covered porch, all of the stainless steel is badly rusted.

I've had stainless steel grills before go 6-7 years with no signs of exterior rust. This is terrible. Would never buy from this company again.

Have used this grill for about a month now and I love it. Took a chance on it because I did not know anyone who had one before but decided it was worth the risk, so far so good. It was surprisingly not too hard to assemble. Took a fraction of the time it has taken me to assemble past grills. It heats up extremely fast and has grilled some of the best steaks I have ever had. It appears to be well worth the extra money, struggled with cheaper grills in the past and finally got tired of repairing and replacing parts. Have not used the rotisserie yet but I plan to soon.

Purchased for "The Classic", or model 720-0021 made my NexGril, sold by Costco around 2004-2005.

Plates are wider than actual replacement needed, but length is same, and holes are lined up on the same width as original plates, thus whatever is wider simply streches out, while price is much lower than part actually recommended.

The 3 new plates now fit snugly against each other. They are nice, thick stainless plates, probably around 1/16 thick, and hopefully will last long.

Advertised as used in very good condition, but actually were shipped brand new.

Great purchase.

Quality Stainless, just slightly oversize compared to originals. They fit snugly across left to right but not exactly in the groves designed for the originals. The center of the large opening is slightly off center, but I do not think this will affect the cooking temperature significantly. For the price ($22.59), and if they last another 8 years, I am quite happy.

Very nice forks but will not fit 3/8" square spit rod. The hole must be 1/2" minimum to fit a 3/8" square rod. If you have smaller 5/16" rod they will work fine.

Was worried that the spit forks may not fit the Weber 7519 gas grill rotisserie, in spite of measuring the shaft width (4/16). Yay! They fit with more than a bit of room to spare and still tightened down easily, so would assume that they would also fit a 5/16 shaft without a problem. Wanted a four prong spit fork set that was smaller and more versitile than the two prong forks that came with the rotisserie.

What the picture does not clearly show is that two of the prongs are smaller, shorter and closer together (2 1/2" long and 3" apart) and two of them are about the same as the original forks (3 1/2" long, 3 1/2" apart). If there were specifications in the product description, I must have missed it. The large sized thumb screws are easy on the fingers. Looking forward to a bit less trussing!

Let's face it, rotisseries usually come with lame two prong forks that don't hold onto a decent sized piece of meat. These stab, grip and don't let go until you want them to. They are easier to clean and as usual when I give 5 stars. it makes me happy. My chickens spin nicely, no flopping around, even use them inside me little convection toaster oven. Don't forget to tie the legs and wings down.

And they were cheaper than the Weber forks, so I couldn't have asked for anything more. Very pleased!

Tried this for the first time tonight in a weber smokey grill (the small one) it lit easy enough and was easy to use, but in the one that i used the flame was 4 inches high which put it above the grate of the grill. i was cooking chicken so burning was a problem.

with out thinking i put the grill lid on and it etinguished the flamedisk. i realized why the insrtuctions say not to put the lid on. one really good thing about the famedisk is that it was EASY to relight. :) so this "problem" is completely user error.

finally, i wasn't impressed by the flavor of the food. it claimed that it would have a grilled flavor. it did not. i normally grill with charcoal and this was NOTHING like it. i ended up with chicken that had grill marks on it but tasted like it was broiled in the oven.

Over all it is a great idea and easy to use. there is very little mess. i just wasn't overly impressed with it and won't be buying it again. i will stick with old faithful charcoal.

This is an awesome, revolutionary product! Very easy to use, and much easier to pack than a big bag of messy charcoal and a [smelly] bottle of lighter fluid (which I'm always afraid will end up spilling in my trunk). We were able to cook two batches of thick Angus beef 1/3 lb patties and a batch of hotdogs, and it still hadn't burnt out, so you can certainly get enough cook time in. Lights VERY easily. So easily, I didn't think it could be actually lit at first, but that it "sounded" lit, and, sure enough, within seconds I saw flames. Great flame-broiled taste--couldn't tell the difference from charcoal. Plus, no ash flying around or piling up in mounds, and you don't have to wait for the coals to "cook down". When we were done, we just poured a little water on it, and let it cool while we finished eating, and it was cool enough and contained enough to be able to put in a plastic bag (at a take-your-own-trash-out state park). Great product. I don't see why I'll ever go back!

I posted a video on the 3-pack listing, if you'd like to see the Flamedisk in action! (It was super windy, and the park grill wouldn't turn.)
