Maverick RediChek Remote Wireless Smoker Thermometer Overall, this unit is good to have. You can relax in the house (or outside) and always know the temperature of the smoker or meat at the same time. Some of the drawbacks are: Receiver range is very limited (approx. 100ft.), you have to take off the clip and battery case to turn one of the units on (inconvenience), and probe wires are fairly short. But those are all minor and tolerable. I would recommend this product.Customer Review: Just What I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
This product lived up to all my expectations. I bought the unit for use with my Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker (AKA WSM). My first use was a 14 hour Pork Butt Smoke. With very little time (2 min) reading the owners manual I was able to figure out how to use all features. I have a standard city lot (.3 Acres) and with the Smoker set up in the backyard (back of lot) I was able to receive all the way out to my mail box (in the front of lot). This however was with a couple dropped transmissions. The transmissions were very reliable inside my house through one outside wall, but had a few dropped transmissions when going through one outside wall and one inside wall. Even if dropping transmissions, the reciever always catches up. I've done 3 long cooks and am still on the original set of batteries. I would recommend this unit. Customer Review: Great Innovation

I have used my thermometer 3 times now and I feel much more confident knowing how the smoker is doing! AND it makes for much less stress knowing this. The thermometer allows me to make corrections before any damage is done to the food. Since I live on the third floor, it saves a lot of steps having the temp info at your finger tips.
AM totally pleased to have this gadget in my arsenal!
Customer Review: Good concept but does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
Tried it with a couple of pork butts this weekend. Was hoping not to go outside to check the temp of meat but be able to monitor temp from my living room. Sounded like a decent product and while the the transmitter would read the temp correctly, the receiver was intermittent at best. Only 25' to my Living Room. Any time I walked back to house it would lose the signal. Finally gave up.
Not sure what needs to be done to perfect this model. I like the idea, but the implementation is not there.
I'm thinking a 2 probe digital thermometer with a pair of binoculars will be good.
