    ThermoWorks probes - alternative/compatible brands?

    If they did, the didn't share with me. I did answer their questions and even shared a video of me cleaning them post use. I honestly think that it is a broken wire or kink that causes the issue. I no longer bundle them like they come from the factory. I wind them around a large diameter spool to...

    ThermoWorks probes - alternative/compatible brands?

    Oh I have talked to customer service many, many times. So much in fact that last year the CSR even exchanged some recipes and Christmas cards! Let me go on record here - ThermoWorks customer service is second to none. They WILL make it right, every time. I've had my Signals unit and all of...

    New guy from OH, rank amateur but enjoying it.

    lol, it's the just about the friendliest forum around. Still being made to feel welcome two years on! Honestly I don't post many questions because so many people have asked and been answered. The amount of information on here is staggering.

    ThermoWorks probes - alternative/compatible brands?

    They are a bit pricey, but not as much as the Signals setup I already own. I like everything about my current setup with the exception of the fragility of the probes. I took a chance on a probe set on Amazon. If they work I will update this thread with as much detail regarding specification for...

    ThermoWorks probes - alternative/compatible brands?

    I'm hoping that someone has already discovered this and can share info. I really like my ThermoWorks Signals, but their probes tend to be fragile. I don't know if it the kinks in the wires or water somehow getting into the insides when I clean them, but they don't last for more than about a...

    Looking for a wi-fi multi-probe thermometer. NOT bluetooth

    Yes, Fireboard and their cloud integration is why I decided on the Signals originally. I was very disappointed to find out that Signals utilized it as well. The new app is the firmware updater. I have had to do the firmware update on my last three smokes. Intead of solving any problems, it...

    Looking for a wi-fi multi-probe thermometer. NOT bluetooth

    That's a good sounding product, too bad it wasn't out when I was looking. If something happens to this current one or I just can't take it anymore, I may consider getting one of these. Or maybe a gift for my dad!

    Looking for a wi-fi multi-probe thermometer. NOT bluetooth

    OH! I almost forgot to mention - Cloud integration is a part of Thermoworks as well, which I was hoping to avoid. That's how their remote reviewing works. Or rather, how it is supposed to work.

    Looking for a wi-fi multi-probe thermometer. NOT bluetooth

    I wanted to revisit this thread since I have put in some real time with the Thermoworks Signals. If all you want to use is a multiprobe digitial thermometer and you don't care about smartphone integration or the ability to check temps while away from the smoker, the Signals works well. If...

    Looking for a wi-fi multi-probe thermometer. NOT bluetooth

    Gentlemen, talk about serendipity! I just happen to luck into a brand new Thermoworks Signals 4 probe for $162 even shipped to my door. I had a PayPal giftcard, a coupon, and a best offer accpted on ebay! Thanks again for the input everyone.

    Looking for a wi-fi multi-probe thermometer. NOT bluetooth

    That Fireboard looks pretty darn nice, but it is close to the Signals price. I don't need the cloud integration, in fact I admit they creep me out. Like many things, it seems the best way to save money in the long run is to perhaps spend more in the beginning. Thanks for the info so far people...

    Looking for a wi-fi multi-probe thermometer. NOT bluetooth

    I have been searching through this subforum for recommendations as well as going through Amazon, but the search term wifi is too often confused with wireless. And evidently wireless synonymous with bluetooth. The trick here is that I want the main unit to have physical buttons. I don't want to...

    Bacon wrapped chicken livers

    @Trolly1 - I am literally sitting on my couch in severe discomfort. I made these today along with a pork butt. Pulled pork is one of my favorite meals. I could eat it every day and not get tired of it. I had only a few bites of it today though. I gorged myself of these little beauties. They...

    Smoked salmon off to its forever home

    No problem at all! Thanks for replying at all. Oh, that short of a cure? I thought it would take overnight or longer. Yeah, this is one of those things that I am sure I am going to enjoy practicing!
