Hey guys,
One of my part time hobbies is building custom items, whether it be a speaker box for a car stereo installation, a portable solar array for weekend getaways, or my latest endeavor - a 1000W electric bike with 35+ mile range. I absolutely love my bike, but I absolutely hate having to test 18650 batteries one at a time to verify capacity.....
I recently started making low cost BBQ Guru meat and pit thermometers, and have received good reviews from those who bought them direct from SMF or from my eBay or Amazon store.
One product that was always requested but I was unable to do anything with was the Maverick 732/733 etc style probes since they contained components that were not easily sourced.
Well - the wait is almost over - I found a place that sells the sensor that I need, but unfortunately they are backordered with them. I placed a small order for 10 units so I can build up some engineering samples for testing and review. Not sure how long fulfillment will take....
HOWEVER.... [the plot thickens]
I don't actually OWN a Maverick Temperature controller, so apart from doing electrical testing and calibration in my lab, I can't do any 'real world' testing with succulent roasts and ribs.
That's where I need your help :)
If anyone has interest in trying out some of the engineering sample items, let me know. The price will be very competitive [estimate $12-$17] for a fully waterproof, fast responding, highly accurate replacement Maverick meat thermometer. I haven't sourced the lead wire or connectors yet, so things may change. Right now my priority is vacation down south for Thanksgiving :)
Every item is hand made by me, and I put a lot of care and pride into my work. I want these to be the LAST Maverick probes you have to buy.... because their is no reason the design should be cheap and disposable....
I'll post back [or edit this post] with my progress when I have any, but wanted to give a shout out for everyone who has been annoyed and unsatisfied with their current Maverick probes.
Help is on the way!
-Mmmmmm bbq!
