There are a few good ones out there---Polder, Taylor, etc, but I believe most of us have the Maverick.

I've had the Maverick ET-73 for nearly two years, and now I got the ET-732, which has better range, and a couple other advances.

That company backs there products really great too!

Todd sells the ET-732 at the following link (free shipping):

Pull out the plug and put it back in.  Sometimes they don;t seat all the way and you don;'t get a good connection.

Are the batteries in correctly?

Welcome to SMF, Glad to have you with us.


This is the place to learn, lots of good info and helpful friendly Members.
 

Many of our members have years of experience in smoking meat.  They are more than happy helping Newbies learn the art.
 

We have members who cure there own Bacon, Hams, Jerky, Snack Sticks, Make Their own Sausage, etc. if you want to learn,
this is the place. 
 

Don't be afraid to ask questions of them and follow their advice. You won't be sorry, you will be making great Q in no time at all...

Just remember, when curing your own meats follow the instructions included with the cure to the letter, this is not something to experiment with.  


Never use more cure no mater if it is Tender Quick or Cure #1 or Cure #2 than the manufacturer says to use, this can be very dangerous.
 


Tender Quick and Cure#1 or Cure #2 are not interchangeable, neither Cure #1 interchangeable with Cure #2 or vise versa

Update on my ET-732:

I got the ET-732 because it has much longer range than my ET-73 has.

The second time I cleaned the meat probe & cable, the wire covering pulled out of the probe.

I called Maverick, and told them what happened, and that I was cleaning it the same way I have been cleaning the original probes on my ET-73 for nearly 2 years.

They said, "No problem, send it to us with a note & your address, and we'll send you a new one".

I also got one of each probe for backups, because I found out the ET-73 probes don't work in the ET-732 unit.

Go to BBQ GURU and look at the ones they have for your smoker. Very helpful people on the phone as well.
