Maverick Smoker Thermometer

bwsmith_2000 · Oct 21, 2005

Hey Dutch,
I used mine again last weekend and I'm still absolutely delighted with it. I can't imagine being without good thermometers. I wish I were good enough cook to not need one but I'm agraid thats a while down the road.
Enjoy!

Bill,
I've been involved in the food industry for so long that I'm seldom around the smoker or the grill without some type of a food thermometer with me.

With the Mavrick digital remote I won't be running in and out the back door as often as the kids. :D

When it arrives, I plan on breaking it in on a pre-Thanksgiving day turkey smoke.

Dutch,
Sounds good and I'm sure you will enjoy the new convienience. Only thing..... be sure to check the accuracy per the boiling water method. I'm sure it will be fine but a check will be worth an awfully lot of wondering.

Larry, I've had thermometers that were similar to the one you discribe-great for using in the kitchen but after 4-5 uses out of doors they go toes up something to do with the probe. The Mavrick ET-73 is designed for smoker use.

Well wouldn't you know it. One day after my pratice turkey smoke and my Mavrick ET-73 arrives. The Bride gives me the EYE :shock: and asked "When did you order that?" MMmm- I think Christmas just arrived a little early at my house.

Dutch,
Your'e going to enjoy the thermo. I have two of them and don't know what I did before getting them. Just one thing ..... don't forget to check the calibration via the old boiling water method. (Both of mine turned out to be right on the money.

Thanks for the reminder, Bill. I'll have some free time tomorrow while I'm tending the new grandson. Seems that he wants to sleep more than play. 8)

Hey all just picked up my Maveric Thermo yesterday at Cabelas, am using it right now....this thing is great...gonna come in real handy once the race comes on. Besides its a damn cold day here in Michigan....about 12 I think....I like the idea of having a thermo I can walk around the house with and still have the preverbial eye on the smoker. I think im gonna like this alot !!!!!

Todd,

What is the range of the Maveric that you are using?

sasquatch · Feb 19, 2006

Y2k, the range on the thermo is between 14f ---410f . Its been in use for almost an hour now...and I think this is the best piece of equipment ive bought in years.....besides my GOSM of coarse :D .
Todd

y2kpitt · Feb 19, 2006

I'm sorry I meant what was the wireless range. How far away from your smoker can you be and still get a good signal

sasquatch · Feb 19, 2006

It says you can be up to 100ft away. I was all over my house today and never lost signal...even out in the garage choppin wood. My smoker is on the back deck probably about 75 ft away and i never had a problem...the thing worked great.

Dutch · Feb 20, 2006

Todd, If you haven't yet your going to want to kick yourself for not get one a lot sooner!! :D

Enjoy the new "Armchair Smoker" status :P

sasquatch · Feb 21, 2006

Awwww man....Dutch ,you are correct my friend, I kicked myself plenty...that thermo is truly an awesome piece of equipment...I love it.

One quick note on the Maverick - excellent customer service!
I got one for Christmas, and about 2 hours into my first smoke the food probe shorted out (read HHH) - let it cool, turned off and on the unit - nothing. Called cust service and explained that I could have pinched it by mistake, or that a flame could have jumped and burned it (ECB smoker). She said no worries and sent out a replacement free of charge the next day. Never had a problem with it since, so not really sure if I did something wrong to the probe, or if that one was just problematic.
But I love the freedom from the back porch it allows me.

Man now I know what to tell the wife to get me for my B-day, my Maverick doesn't have the remote temp display. But if I get one of them, I won't have an excuse to walk by the kegerator every 15 minutes...LOL

2kewl · Feb 28, 2006

:(
Maybe we can find you a new excuse!
surprising how quickly a keg can go when you have one in your house and you have to keep walking by it all the time!

Just tell her that you're double checking different location to see if there isn't a spot in the house that the remote doesn't recieve a signal. If wandering through the house double checking that remote causes you to pass by the kegerator-well you got to make sure that the beer is still cold! Right?? :mrgreen:
