There are a few good ones out there---Polder, Taylor, etc, but I believe most of us have the Maverick.

I've had the Maverick ET-73 for nearly two years, and now I got the ET-732, which has better range, and a couple other advances.

That company backs there products really great too!

Todd sells the ET-732 at the following link (free shipping):

The ET-732

I have 2 of the ET-732's and they work great. I had some different models and brands but these work great.

The ET 732  is a slick little unit, and Todd's customer service is the best.

Good luck and good smoking.

Pull out the plug and put it back in.  Sometimes they don;t seat all the way and you don;'t get a good connection.

Are the batteries in correctly?

Never use more cure no mater if it is Tender Quick or Cure #1 or Cure #2 than the manufacturer says to use, this can be very dangerous.

Update on my ET-732:

I got the ET-732 because it has much longer range than my ET-73 has.

The second time I cleaned the meat probe & cable, the wire covering pulled out of the probe.

I called Maverick, and told them what happened, and that I was cleaning it the same way I have been cleaning the original probes on my ET-73 for nearly 2 years.

They said, "No problem, send it to us with a note & your address, and we'll send you a new one".

I also got one of each probe for backups, because I found out the ET-73 probes don't work in the ET-732 unit.
