I have a RediChek thermometer, which is the Maverick 732. I just call it a Maverick. Even though I have used heat shrink on the probes, they seem to go wonky every couple years. I have the original 3-foot probes that still work, but have replaced the longer 6-foot probes twice, and now a third time.
One of my probes started giving me a false reading recently, showing a meat temp that was about 25F low. I always keep two meat probes in my smoker for just that reason. With experience, you get that "something isn't right" feeling. Insert another probe and there's your answer. It's time for the trash.
Amazon has aftermarket, dual purpose, 6 foot probes, two for $20. Fits both the Maverick 732 and 733. They arrived today. Tested PERFECTLY in boiling water for my 130-foot above sea level location. Made in China unfortunately but they work. At that price I'm not going to heat shrink these "waterproof" probes and see how long they last, watching for fraying at the probe joint. Below are pics.
