Best meat thermometer these days?

[sumosmoke]

Last time I smoked meat Accurites, Maverick ET-73, and Thermopen were the thermometers of choice. I'm now seeing new brands that I've not heard of before, introduced to the market. What meat thermometer are folks using that they like (similar to the Maverick) versus which products should I avoid?

Thermoworks Smoke's are great. Better and simpler than Mavericks.
They have one with 4 probes now.

I don't monitor the temps while smoking, but I do use an insta-read from Inkbird when I know I'm getting close.

I still have an old ET-73 that is still working, but I don't use it any longer. I use an Inkbird IRF-4S these days. It's a 4 probe outfit and the sending unit and base unit are rechargeable.

Out of my Maverick , Thermoworks, and Inkbirds, this is the best of them all IMO

Big Thermoworks fan here. I think they make very high quality temp monitoring products.

Best IMO are the Fireboard and thermoworks. I used my fireboard over everything.

Inkbird has an affordable product but I go back to the fireboard. I may have an extra Inkbird laying around I can send you.

Let me look

Same as what I have and the irf-4s has worked fine and goes a long time between charges.

I’ve used inkbird for a few years now. I realized I don’t like having to use my phone to check temps instead of having the wireless stand alone device I can just set on the counter and peak at. I did just buy the two prong thermometer they listed on here with the deal. Got it for $15 but haven’t used it. ThermoPro is still good.

I'm all Thermoworks (what I went to after Mavericks years ago) as well, 2-smokes and 2 thermapens... Their customer service is second to none... I do as Chris (@gmc2003) does ... I don't monitor IT's, just use the thermapen when I know it's getting close to done...

Thermal works. Thermopen, smoke, and billows are my choice.

Thanks Brian! I read the review you posted a while back on the Inkbird!

Same here. I have a couple of Inkbird IR along with ThermoPro 2/4 probe and love using the remote base instead of my phone. And I've also had great CS with them!

I love my Fireboard. It allows me to share my cooks with my friends and add notes/photos. Here is today's cook: https://share.fireboard.io/AEC52D
