Title: Do You Need A Gun In Your Kitchen?
Post by: ACW3 on July 09, 2014, 05:11:20 PM: I just received this ad. It is actually an infrared temperature "gun". The price is right, or so it seems. I already have one. I am passing this along for your information.

So far so good. It is a Maverick product and I do like their Redi Chex BBQ Thermometers.

Spuds I kind of figured there was something like that. Why would you need a risk free trial for something that cost less than $10 with shipping? ::)

Post by: TwoPockets on July 10, 2014, 08:04:00 AM: I got one when I got my pizza oven to check temps on the stone. I wind up playing with it all over the place. It drives the cats crazy when I check their temp with it.

Looks like you are exactly right,reading they wait 60 days before charging card ,then overbill,never deliver and you are robbed,anyone know how to put a stop payment on card?

Im not even sure what name they are going to bill as,but when you call if anyone answers they laugh at you and tell you to stick it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from what Im reading!
Title: Re: Do You Need A Gun In Your Kitchen?
Post by: spuds on August 07, 2014, 01:14:22 AM: Yup,got problems it looks like,a trip to bank is in order,who knows,they billed 10.80 7/29,maybe they are actually sending it but red flags all over net on this company.

It is a PITA, but your best bet is to get a new card # issued and kill that one.

Agree. I do that on a regular basis with all of my cards.
