Recommendation on a instant read that wont break the bank?

[hooked on smoke]

My instant read thermometer decided to up and leave. ??
It's been stored until needed in the same drawer slot for a couple years.
Boom! Gone.??
What should I look into as an replacement that won't break the bank??
Thanks in advance.

My inkbird has been a champ. The only reliable thing I’ve had from them really.

Lavatools Javelin Pro Duo
Less than $60., often on sale for $30-35., I give them as gifts.
Mine is probably a decade old now and is just as accurate as ever.

Thermoworks Thermapens are among the best and can be found for under $100.
On sale now for $81.75.

A Thermapen One is well worth the money. They have frequent sales.

I use the orange rechargeable Inkbird. Really love it. I own two and have gifted many.

I have the Alpha Grillers Meat Thermometer Digital and have enjoyed it so much I bought a second when I lost the first! It's $20 normally, on sale for $16 right now.

Kizen Instant Read Meat Thermometer Digital - Food Thermometer​

$12 at Amazon. I have had one for over a year and it works well.

I have a couple of Thermo Pro and pretty good for the money
I have a Thermoworks ThermoPop and love it.

Ditto on the Thermopop. Love my Thermapens, but for the price you can't beat 'em.

I have a thermoworks Dash, that works great, but it got relocated to the camper, since I got my thermopen one. But the dash is a little easier on the wallet.
