HEADS UP!
the new Thermowand worked the first time, (on the meatloaf cook) but when i turned it on this morning the read-out was frozen at -58°.
I went back and read all the reviews on Amazon and there were at least 10 where the unit failed.
i have sent 3 emails to Lavatool's customer service and they have not responded.
sorry i presented this to the community, not worth the money
