Overproof Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Hi guys, wondering if any of you can suggest a couple of thermometers for my BBQ adventures. I've currently been using a little bit of gut instinct along with an extremely crap gasmate wireless thermometer (the ones from bunnings). Buy at your own risk...I've now had two, both are shot to shite and are unreliable as all hell. I basically need something to clip down near my grill for the internal temp of my weber and something to probe into my meat would be an added bonus. Id would like to have something wireless too, if possible. Was looking at something called an igrill where you use an app on you phone with it but I'm a little sketchy on something with an 'i' before it mixed with BBQn....has to be a gimmick? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Lotusguy Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I am extremely happy with my Maverick 732 set. I use it for my smoker mostly. There is one probe for the BBQ temperature and one for the meat temperature and it has a wireless connection to the main unit.

Fuzz AI Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 You can find the Maverick ET-732 on eBay or buy it in Aus from this website: http://www.urbangril...rick_ET732.html (cheaper on eBay, but it ships from the US). Or if you don't like eBay: http://www.fishpond.com.au/Kitchen/Maverick-Redi-Chek-Wireless-Barbecue-Thermometer-Set-ET-732/0011502073201
Tan1801 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I use the Maverick ET-732 as well, but my wireless receiver has not worked properly since I got it. Laziness stopped me from contacting the supplier, but it works fine without the wireless receiver and I'm normally having a cigar outside when I'm grillin so I don't mind so much.
Overproof Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Thanks everyone..Looks like these are the go.
ptrthgr8 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Indeed - this is a great topic and I had the same question. Thanks to you fine folks, I've just placed an order for an ET-732 of my own! Cheers, ~ Greg ~
Habana Mike Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Sounds like a good replacement for my last, especially with probe temp resistance over 700 degrees - burned out my last ones...
Jefferson Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 x2 on the Thermapen. Fast and accurate. Yep, Thermapen FTW!
Faire Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I just bought the maverick one from Amazon based on the reviews I read. Hope to enjoy it !
Erm310mce Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Another fan of the maverick 732 set. Saves time and effort for checking the smoker temp. I've been very pleased with the range of the receiver.

Erm310mce Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Any good recipe to try mine for the first time ? Sure, Some type of roast with indirect heating: like a whole chicken, turkey, pork shoulder Etc... What are you interested in making?
