I have a Maverick 73 remote thermometer. It seemed to work great the first few times we used it. That was in December and early January. Then it began to be way off on the temps. Maverick sent two new probes recently. After using them they are even more off than the other probes. The smoker temp might be 255 and the Maverick probe shows about 211. We cooked chicken last and I tried cooking according to the temps as usual. When the reading got hot enough to pull the chicken according to the temp chart, the chicken wasn't close to being done. I haven't washed the cords on the new probes. Also, today we put the probes on two different pieces of meat. One showed 130+ and the other showed only 50+.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong or what to do? Cooking without a reliable thermometer isn't good at all.
Side note - the remote part worked fine. We could read it almost anywhere in the house. That made it really nice - if it would just work right.
