    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    I just do the warning manually on any therms to whatever temp you want, then bump up to the finished temp after the warning alert. Same with the PID heating element controller set to single stage manual ramping vs a programmed ramping every hour because with fish and sausage I want to extend...

    Is my brisket safe?

    Bingo! All beef, lamb and pork are safe to eat at 145*F IT but tough cuts at 145 are just beef favored bubble gum or whatever specie. The outside at an IT of 167*F was not only pasteurized it was sterilized awhile ago before 167 IT, being closer to the temp of the smoker for a duration to...

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    I give you guys a lot of credit for the time spent on testing, patience to trouble shoot and perseverance with constantly being in contact with TW. I would have done the same for a few days if I ordered a RFX setup and been in contact with TW but would have sent everything back for a refund and...

    Is the Akorn a worthy purchase/upgrade if I already have a Gravity 1050?

    I've had the Akorn 10 years+ and it's in great condition. I prefer to use Kamados for 350F + to bbq, or high heat to grill or pizza on a stone. A 17"coal grate for a weber 22" kettle grill sits on the three smoke stone holders in the pic for an elevated grill grate vs grilling with coals down...

    !!FREE TEST!! for INKBIRD vacuum sealer with bag storage!(Value $79.99)

    Also, the reviewer shouldn't be pressured for an immediate disingenuous review like posts from inkbird in the past would say, if you don't post a review you'll be eliminated from future giveaways. You should be able to use it a year let alone the warranty period to give a genuine review so you...

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    Update: I have two Inkbird Lith Ion type C USB rechargeable products ( IHT-1S instant read therm that I'd definitely recommend with all Thermapen features with 2 sec read and their IRF-4S 1,500' four probe rf transmitter and receiver that is great.) I have the Thermopro TP-19 instant read that...

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    TempSpike XR with rf 2,000' booster arrived and nothing was charged at all. Everything dead. Both white and black probes and the base receiver. Did yours come totally dead? Took 6 hours to charge base and black probe and white probe keeps scrolling to charge two of the three bars but won't...

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    TW has the new release post on FB that has hesitant purchasers waiting for feedback first, people with great anticipation of receiving the RFX notified of their prepaid order shipping and people that have used it once but not enough to notice the battery life, charge to 85% on gateway that means...

    Upgrade to new thermometer

    With BT apps I was running tests on my Soraken from 2015 and tried 6 or 7 different ones that all would drop the graph and ultimately would crash and would prompt you to restart the app so it would be off without you knowing. Easy BBQ was the Soraken app, Solis Thermo, Inkbird's BBQ Go...

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    Just ordered the $99.00 2,000' Thermopro Tempspike XR with extender to get it out of the way before Black Friday. I have had the Soraken BT six probe since 2014 and all probes are accurate but won't sync with phone so no alarms and just go by the scrolling display on the transmitter for shorter...

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    If $99 is a good price for the white and black Tempspike XR with extender do you think getting it now being in stock is better now vs black Friday in a few weeks or cyber Monday.

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    The XR on Amazon says 1,000' open air 90' with lid closed, then there's the range extender option for 1000' from that to the rf receiver. The regular is $77. The one with range extender is $99 so $22 upgrade. The extender is $30 on Amazon if bought later separately. My smoker has a window so my...

    Masterbuilt Electric Rust Damage

    Well, the inside is SS so if you don't see smoke through the rust, then all is good but is fading fast. Even aluminum vent jacketing tape would take quite a bit to get past the decay to something solid. Maybe look for the same model on FB Marketplace so you have spare parts and door. If in the...

    Thermoworks RFX First Impressions

    It's like selecting the battery protection on my Samsung phone since keeping the battery lithium ions and electrons on the anode side 100% (fully charged) or all on the cathode side 0% (completely discharged) can shorten the life of the battery. The basic protection is a phone charged to 100%...
