I’m pretty confident all the water is out. I filtered it a few times and the last one took it to around 275 degrees and the oil was stable with no bubbling. It smells fine and looks good. It’s just almost a runny consistency that I can pour out of the jar.

Just started to use our brisket trimming (we have a lot) to make tallow. Everything seems to go well, but I’m curious as to what the consistency is supposed to be at room temp (70-75 degrees). In the cooler it’s solid, but mine is pretty soft at room temp.

My probes are all set to 3 degrees on the Temp-Based Transmission Interval setting.

An update on my testing and battery life issues. First, thank you to ThermoWorks for joining the discussion, even if you’re a bit defensive. lol. I appreciate the effort that’s been put in to resolve the issues some in the BBQ community have been experiencing. I hope the effort continues to...

Last night's test in the smoker has some interesting results. I'm not even sure what to think anymore. lol They must be tweaking stuff as none of my tests are consistent now. Probe 7089 which was 9-10 hours to 0% when I first got it, went down to 3-4 hours after a week of use, then 19.5 hours...

Seems reasonable to test it that way first. They did ask me right away about whether I inserted them all the way. I told them I did read the instructions and was putting them fully up to the lines in briskets and the smoker temp is set to 225 so I’m way below what they’ve marketed. I even...

Are your tests being done under heat or just at room temp? I ask as mine were always done during actual smoker runs. Yesterday I decided to do one with the probes just sitting out on my desk with the Gateway left where it normally is. The probe I've had the worst times with 9-10 hours when new...

I was curious about this so I just tested it and you are correct. I blocked the RFX Gateway from my Wi-Fi through my Unifi UDM. Once I did, the temp updates stopped, even though I connected to the Gateway with Bluetooth to my phone via the Gateway settings prior to disconnecting the Wi-Fi...

It's possible the first batches were not as good. Mine are 7177, 7088, 7089, 7090. I have my second order showing up in a week or two so I'm curious to see how those do.

I updated to that firmware today and so far tonight I have one probe that gave a low battery warning after 2.5 hours. 2 at 80% and one that won’t communicate. All probes say poor signal and they’re no more than 20’ from the gateway. I did end up ordering more before I received these and...

Nice. Still not 50 as they advertise, but I’d be ok with a consistent 17 hours.

Support told me today they have a few more firmware updates coming out and of those don’t fix my battery issues they’ll replace the probes. Mine are all over the place now. I had the worst of the 4 probes that has steadily declined only get 1.25 hours last night. Two of them aren’t sending a...

My probe firmware version is 1.2.1. I’ll ask and see what they say on that one. To me it seems like more of a problem with the probes and not the gateway.

Right now the transmission from the probe to the gateway is based on the temperature change setting. Options are from 1-3 degrees F. This should actually extend battery life as it’s only sending info to the gateway when the temperature changes based on your setting. I have mine set to 3 degrees...

Support just confirmed with me that 1.1.26-44 is the newest firmware for the gateway and 1.61.6+385 is the newest for the phone app. Both are the versions I was on while having battery issues and they still persist. No further instruction from support at this time for me.

Let me know if this works for anyone. I've tried it several times by removing it and even removing everything and deleting the app and reinstalling it all. I've also held down the button until it flashes red and added it to my account. My firmware version will not change from 1.1.26-44.

I’ve used mine daily on 12 cooks for the last 9 evenings. Battery degradation has already happened and it’s significant. I was getting 9-10 hours with a couple of my probes and 12 on the other two. Last night’s cook I got 3.25 hours out of one before it died. Down from 4.5 the night before that...

I am using 4 probes for over a week now in a commercial setting. The gateway is plugged directly into power so I'm not having issues there. The probes, however, are a totally different story. Of the four probes, two of them don't make a 12 hour cook. One used to go 9-10 hours, but now only does...
