Reviews of the Maverick Remote-Check ET-7 Wireless Thermometer with 2 Probes by Customers
Customer Rating: Summary: Bar b que thermometer Comment: This cooks the best meat nothing is over done and with 2 probes you can't beat it. You don't have to stand there watching food. Directions are a little confusing but if I can figure it out you can Customer Rating: Summary: Lousy, Lousy, Lousy! Comment: I recently bought myself a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker, and wanted to get a wireless thermometer for monitoring pork, chicken & other goodies during "low...slow" cooking.
I started with a Walmart unit with a single probe, but the range just plain sucked. It couldn't transmit from the smoker on the back porch to inside the house very well at all. We're only talking 30-40 feet, versus the claimed range of "up to 100 feet."
I returned that one, and got a super-duper Maverick Redi-Chek ET-7 off Amazon.com. That one has 2 probes (so I can measure the temp of the item being cooked, while tracking temperature inside the cooker itself. The wireless range, however, is even lousier than the Walmart unit.
It may be just fine if you're willing to stand within 30-40 feet (clear line of sight) of the smoker, but if you dare go inside your house, the ET-7 receiver loses its connection with the transmitter. Of course, as others have noted, there's no OBVIOUS signal that the temperatures being displayed by the receiver are the temps from before signal was lost.
Yes, if you're observant, you can stare at the receiver for 2 minutes (don't blink, or you'll miss it!), checking for the blinking "satellite dish" symbol to show that it's still linked with the transmitter.
After losing the connection between the transmitter & receiver, if you DARE to try & re-establish the link, you've got to go back to the smoker. Then, shut off the transmitter & receiver. Then, turn on the receiver to "operate", and within 60 seconds (thou shalt not count to 65...memories of Monty Python's "Holy Hand Grenade"), turn on the transmitter.
GREAT! Now you've got a link re-established. Sit within a few feet of the smoker and you can trust the temperature readings. If you dare move, however, all bets are off.
At nearly $40 (twice the price of the Walmart unit), I had hoped for a whole lot better. This is a poor excuse for a "remote" thermometer. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Wireless Thermometer Comment: I have purchased a couple wireless thermometers before and none compare to this one.
The 2 probe system is great. Even if you are not not smoking two different meats you can still use the 2nd probe for ambient temperature.
The manual was a little weak but not horrible. Reception is good and having a temp readout on both the transmitter and receiver is a nice touch.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great for slow smoking. Comment: Works great for use with a smoker. Allows you to easily monitor large cuts for doneness without having to open the smoker and loose smoke and heat. Customer Rating: Summary: Is it done? Comment: A great little device for those who are not comfortable with "guessing" if food is ready. This thermometer takes the "guessing" out of the equation.
Editor Product Review
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).
You are sure to find practical gardening items that are ideal for a garden enthusiast from this extensive range to suit any budget.
A Louis Vuitton wallet, Gucci wallet, Armani watch or Calvin Klein watch would make a great gift for a man. We also have many more gifts for men in our online catalogue.
