Yep, like being unemployed. I know that one first hand. But I'll be using my new ET-733 for the first time this weekend.
Wow! I've been at work, and not really looking at the internet lately. Surprised to see so many replies. Thanks to everyone for keeping the Q&A going, especially Bear. I'll sort through this stuff when I get a second, and put it in the FAQ section. Right now I just got off work for the night, and there's no days off in sight. Guess there's worse things.
It just dawned on me that you were confused about the "Rough Side".
I gotta look at
I need to look at the probes to see which is the "rough" side. Besides, I would think that doing a mod on the wires would void the warranty.
The et 732 and 733 both have two probes. One for the meat and one for the smoker. You can purchase an extra meat or universal probe in case you want to monitor two hunks of meat or two smoker chamber temperatures.
Oh jeez. Bear, did you ever watch the classic Bugs Bunny cartoons where he said "What a maroon"? I'm who he was talking about even though it was a few years before I was born.

If you read that again, you'll realize I meant the "Rough side of the scrub sponge", not the rough side of the probe.

I have had that happen to me.... especially when the meat was cold....... I simply unplugged the probe from the unit..... reset to start...and after a few minutes (around 5 minutes) things came back to normal. Hopefully that is all that was wrong with your probe/reading.
I used my ET 733 for the first time today.........The probe for the smoker worked like a champ.The other probe for the meat was wacky all day and most of the day it read LLL. Finally I unplugged the meat probe and just used the thermapen every thing came out great.

I tried unplugging it all day and resetting it nothing worked.I will in the next week call Maverick service and see whats up.I hate paying those oversea phone charges almost cheaper to throw it away and get another.hahahahahahah

I see why it doesn't work.
My Son's Field manager went to Canada two weeks ago, and he got a lot of business calls for tower work, while he was there. Even though he was only a few driving hours away, the cell calls were $1 per minute!!

Very interesting. I also used my ET-733 yesterday for the first time and the meat probe read HHH so I unplugged it. I was smoking baby back ribs so I didn't need it anyway. Next weekend I'm smoking a beef brisket and I'll see how the meat probe works then.
