Hi! I had been using an ThermoPro TP-08 for the past two years, but the transmitter died today during my smoke (smoke is still ongoing as of this writing). So, now I need recommendations for a new one.
I suspect the weather was a factor in its demise. I'm in MI and it's currently 32* and raining slush. This is routine for MI and will turn to snow over the next few weeks, but I still need to smoke! So, weather-resistance is a necessity.
Also, I had a lot of problem with my ThermoPro losing connectivity. The transmitter would shut off randomly or stop sending signals. This happened very frequently on anything less than a 100% full battery. So, I need one with a good, strong, wireless signal. I don't know if wifi or bluetooth would be useful to me or be a solution to this problem, so your experiences on this would be appreciated.
I'm looking at the Inkbird IRF-4S or the ThermoWorks Smoke. I only need 2 probes, so more than that is just a bonus. The Smoke X is also tempting because of the huge range, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost.
Let me know what you guys recommend!
