ThermoWorks - Differences in thermometers?

[illini40]

Hello

Can you help me understand if there is really any difference between the Thermapen, Classic Superfast Thermapen, and the ThermoPop?

For the differences in price, I'm curious what that gets you.

I have an iGrill 2 and I'm looking for an instant read to check temps.

The Thermapen is faster than the ThermoPop, but the ThermoPop has a much thinner probe needle.
I have both & use the ThermoPop more often, it's real good for measuring the IT of ribs, where you need to get between the bones & get an accurate reading. It takes about 2-3 seconds to read. The Thermapen takes about 1 second. As for accuracy, they both are very accurate, but you get a certificate with the Thermapen that guarantees it's accuracy.

Thanks Al. Seems like the ThermoPop is a great value at the price? I'm just a beginner and not doing competition stuff.

Your right it is and that's what I would get if I were you.

I was able to pickup an orange ThermoPop was the local BBQ store today. It feels quality, and I was impressed to find that it can with a little sheath/cover for the probe.

Looking forward to testing it out!
