Thermometer Preferences

[39Buick]

Hi all,
I am wanting to upgrade my thermometer from a single probe to a multiple probe unit. I have narrowed my serch to two companies and would very much like some of your opinions.
Inkbird or Maverick trying to stay under $100 to keep peace if you know what I mean!
Thanks in advance!!

Inkbird was running a sale recently... I tested their single instant read and it was real nice! there is a write up on here for the 4 probe,

I have a inkbird 2 probe and a 4 probe happy with both, like sandyut said they run specials on smf pretty often, can't comment on the maverick I never used one.

I recently won a inkbird 4 probe bluetooth mod #IBT-4XS, right here on SMF, works like a champ ,and seems very well made.

Do you need more than 2 probes?

Inkbird is easier to set for hi/lo temp alarms. You may want to jump up to a 4 probe. Both are very good but I use my Inkbird mostly.

I love my Inkbird 6X , may never need that many but I got it covered lol

I have the inkbird 4 & 6 probe units, love them both!!

Well, I seem to be the maverick in the herd as I have the Maverick X-50 and it works really well with 4 probes as well.

Thanks for the reply, I went through several threads and read quite a few posts on the inkbird. Never found what I call a review.

I think two probes would be the bare minimum. I would really like to have the 6 probe unit with the hybrid probes. That would allow me to monitor my CC and a couple meats at the same time.

Finally a Maverick!! I like the looks of the maverick and like the fact i don't have to have my phone or tablet connected all the time.
I have been using a cheap old thermpro single probe from amazon for a few years and love that device. Awesome range and has been going strong!!

For a little more, what about ThermoWorks. Their Smoke has 2 probes and the Signals has 4 probes. Then there is The FireBoard. with 6 probes

My vote is for ThermoWorks. It’s a bit more but very good product

My vote goes for Thermoworks Smoke. It is more expensive, but it is built very well. My Maverick actually died due to old age.

Hi my winner,didn't you see the announcement of the Inkbird giveaway?

I have the ink bird 4 probe. Works great.. I'm sure the thermoworks Smoke is an excellent product, I'd be lost without my ThermoPop. Go 4 probe, ypu won't regret it.

If you only needed two probes, then I would highly recommend Thermoworks Smoke. It's got it's own receiver, but also allows you to connect to Wifi and monitor with your phone with optional gateway. It frequently goes on sale for about $70.
The Thermoworks Signals has 4 inputs, but requires you use your smart device and is also very expensive. Thermoworks build quality is significantly superior to the others, but you do pay for that.

Thermoworks, hands down. Inkbirds non bluetooth digital segment displays are too small for me.
