Title: I finally broke down!
Post by: Smokin Don on June 11, 2015, 12:22:37 PM
Well I finally broke down and ordered me a Thermoworks Thermopen! I hated to spend that much on one but I liked Old Dave’s he had at the Ohio gathering and even Pam has a pink one! I had to settle for one of the slowest colors gray! It was the only one in stock at Amazon and would have had to go to Thermoworks for a different color.

Oh well gray suites this old man and it matches my hair. I am slow so won’t even notice the few tenths seconds longer it takes to register!

I also ordered me a new one burner gas cooker from Camp Chef. I have one but it has a high heat burner and was hard to regulate for using cast iron ware. I cooked on Cliffs two burner at the gathering and liked it.

You won't be disappointed with the Thermopen , Just make sure not to get it wet. Did you get a discount price?
I get emails about every other week with some sale they have going at the time.

Congrats on the thermopen! I have the yellow one! As far as I am concerned it was money well spent.

At a certain point, you forget about the money spent and realize you would have spent it on beer anyways.  :D

Congrats Don on your new tools! I'm interested in hearing more about your one-burner. I'm in the market for one.

I went into a pool with mine because I forgot it was in my pocket. I was swimming for like 20 minutes. Realized I had done that and freaked. It still worked fine :)

Don even though gray is 0.00067543 slower than the fastest color green it is still a great buy and worth every pennie.
