Thermapen? Not an option... recommendation on cheaper instant read thermometers

[smokeburns]

Ok my arm has been twisted. Yesterday I decided to order this $16 thermopen. Was going to try the thermopop , but I'm like you. Not to worried about the turning temp geauge or the choice of every color in the rainbow. I'm just looking for a fast read so I can close my pit as soon as possible. Thanks for web link on thermoworks.

I also have the Weber 6492.  About $10 @ Lowes.  That along with the Maverick ET 732 and I should be set.  I admit I was also looking hard at the Thermopop.  May still get it.  Nothing wrong with having two... ;)

You are starting to sound like a fellow addict.

Set aside a drawer in your kitchen and........

Good luck and good smoking.

Update on the thermoworks RT600 C thermopen I just got. Works like a dream. Did the boiling water test and it hit 212 in literally 4 seconds. Very impressed. Actually had money left over to get my expanded metal fom Home Depot to construct my charcoal basket I've been wanting to build.

I have been using the thermopen for about a year and I love it! It is by far my best and the quickest.

I use and buy for my team a Chef Digital Pocket Thermometer like this one. The one we get is very fast and waterproof.

Never seen this one before. Looks very durable.

I recently got this off Amazon and it seems like its currently the best alternative to the Thermapen. Only $25!
