Product Description: This is the ONLY remote meat / barbecue thermometer that can monitor 2 types of meat or 2 doneness levels (i.e. rare, medium, well done, etc.). Just insert one or both probes into your favorite cuts of meat and select how want them cooked. When the meat is cooked exactly to your liking, the receiver will let you know by beeping. Both the receiver and the transmitter (which is attached to the probes) display the progressive meat temperature in 5-second intervals on their easy-to-read LCD screens. The receiver also displays a clock and timer. Suitable for outdoor barbecue or indoor oven use, this dual-probe wireless barbecue thermometer system makes the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking! Use it to get perfectly cooked beef, chicken, fish, pork, lamb or any other common grill meats. Uses 2 AAA and 2 AA batteries (not included).
Amazon.com Review: Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer. You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously, since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire.
Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds.
Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of both is possible. --Fred Brack

Rating: - Maverick Remote read Thermometer a dissappointment
This unit is suppossed to have a range of 100 feet but loses communication with nothing but open air between transmitter and receiver at 50 to 75 feet. Nice features on the receiver but My main reason for purchase was the remote capability, which does not work well. I believe my wireless router for the computer may be the cause, but that should have been taken into account in the design of the unit. A stronger transmitter or better receiver would make this into a 5 star unit.
Rating: - Perfect Meat Thermometer
It is very convenient to be able to BBQ one item and roast another@ the same time in different locations. When you know what the temps are, you don't have to waste heat constantly checking on it. Only downside is, the temp lags just a little bit.If you want your meat RARE, subtract 5-10 degrees until you're used to it. It can always be cooked more...Otherwise, am thrilled with it, glad I bought it!!
Rating: - Not good for Rotisserie
Purchased to keep track of the Turkey on our grill's rotisserie. Since the probes have to connect to a box that cannot be inside the grill cover, would have had to figure out a way to attach to the rotisserie mechanism. Too much work so returned.
Rating: - Not terrible
Worked great for a few months. I used this on a smoker and liked the idea of having two probes, one for the meat and one to measure the actual temperature inside the smoker. I had a few things come out a little over done, so I put both probes in a glass of water. One of the probes measured 8 degrees more than the other. 8 degrees might not seem like much, but it is the difference between medium and leather.
Rating: - The best BBQ help there is
This is the best help there is for your bbq.
It will enable you to see the temprature of your meat at all times without opening the lid of your bbq. It will give you a warning when your meat is reaching the desired temprature. And with two probes you can use it for two parts of the meat, e.i. brest and leg of the chicken or two peaces of meat.
