    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    From my conversation with TW, the RFX has a ‘heartbeat’ in addition to the TBTI. When asked if this isn’t redundant to the TBTI the answer was yes and would be eventually phased out to become totally delta-T triggered. I suspect this is was a residual artifact from development. When the RFX...

    Don’t think that’s the case. At present, the Gateway doesn’t ‘speak’ bluetooth. Wi-fi is currently required (stay tuned). Probe to Gateway (to wi-fi) to Cloud then device.

    Thank you! It would be interesting to know what their firmware is for the probe itself, or how and/or if it is upgradable.

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    To be clear, what is the latest Gateway firmware? Mine shows “1.1.26-44“. My app version shows “1.61.6+385” which is the latest AppStore has. It would also be helpful to know TW’s latest firmware for the RFX probe. Mine shows “1.2.1”. BTW, I highly recommend everyone (if haven’t already)...

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    RFX SV Cook Tonight I SV reheated some brisket to chop for tacos. This was my second cook using the RFX. For those more interested in the RFX rather than my cooking, here’s the salient stuff: The Gateway was at 92% and unplugged. PSPTIR=60sec (irrelevant, since not using the PSP). The RFX MEAT...

    Upgrade to new thermometer

    I can heartily recommend ThermoWorks’ Signals. It has four channels, one of which you can use for a pit probe, three for different meats. It has a large, easy to read display. I know you don’t want a phone app; Signals does need a phone app (or what I use indoors, an iPad app) but it has a great...

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    schlotz said: Selected 5 minutes again, ran a 17 minute, showed readings at least once a minute – 1 reading for each thermometer in the probe and the average reading. So 5 readings were logged for the session at least once every minute. Did not have anything to do the temperature interval or the...

    Rotisserie Turkey?

    Sounds like you're just about there! So, my suggestion is probably a bit late to the party, but here goes: How about Beer-Can Turkey?

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    Let’s consider what the Gateway does: 1) Reports the Pro-Series Probe (PSP) reading to the cloud. 2) relays RFX MEAT probe(s) readings to the cloud. My understanding is the first is (fairly) straightforward, it reports the reading from the PSP according to the interval setting (15, 30 or 60...

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    So, for my first RFX cook, I made Country Ribs. I figured the (relatively) high cook and submerged braise would test the probe. Apologies in advance for scanty data; my first CR and first RFX cook, and fairly new to the YS640S also.  These were bone-in. Seasoned up with MC Holy Cow, Tiger Sauce...

    0-400 Wings

    I have heard about (and think I’ve seen videos) but never tried, or wanted to. Not a big fan of dirty smoke or ash blowing on food. Seems to me too many variables to be ‘easy’. For example number, size & temp of wings going in, time & temp curve for specific cooker, and so on. I prefer to...

    Make sure your app device is connected to 2.4Ghz, not 5Ghz. Gateway only operates on 2.4

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    Thanks for starting this thread! Yes, I’ve had ours on charger overnite, similar results; 88%. I’m currently leaving it on unplugged to drain it. It’s been transmitting 6 1/2 hours, 88% to 79%. Wondering if their charge indicator software is accurate. Not a breaker, I didn't buy it for its...

    Thermoworks RFX Shipping info?

    Update: Gateway on charger (powered off) all night, checked this morning => 87%. Not promising. Sorry, not shipping related.

    My Foodsaver went kaput

    I think it depends on what your primary use is/will be. For example, we just returned from Sam’s with a 17lb prime brisket and two chuck roasts (11lbs) which I’ll be grinding & vac sealing this afternoon. That’s close to 40 vac pkgs of ground meat. I’ve attempted that with an external but never...

    Finally received ours. Got everything paired up, looks typical TWorks quality. Gateway charging, looks it may take a while. Will report back when I hit some heat using it.
