Smoke thermometer by Thermoworks review - Director's cut
« Reply #-1 on: October 11, 2016, 08:47:13 PM »
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Smoke thermometer by Thermoworks for a video review.  There is a short version of the review public on YouTube right now.  We had to make it short to satisfy our critics.  I like the short video but feel there was some important info left on the cutting room floor.  Exclusive to Let's Talk BBQ (at least for now) is a private "Director's Cut" of the video that is in its full length glory.  Enjoy!



If you want to pre-order the Smoke you can do that here.  Please note my company get's a small affiliate fee if you use the link, so thank you if you do!  This does not add anything to the overall price.

BTW shipping appears to be only $3.99 so it's minimal.

If you do end up buying I strongly encourage you to bundle in a Pro-Series needle probe.  It's waterproof and reads in 2-4 seconds.  It basically turns your Smoke into a Thermopop!  For $16 it's a steal.

Alright I'm sold!  One question though 300' line of site range,  what about inside a building alot of us like to monitor in the house how diminished is the range when you are in a house and say upstairs on a second level?  Thats been my biggest issue with the I grill.

Nothing scientific but we walked around our homes with the Smoke receiver and it could handle three walls without losing connectivity.  It's much better than anything you'll get with bluetooth, which is what the iGrill uses.

Can't disagree.  I have an Ivation as well (same as Maverick) and it does the job.

For tailgating this is what I use for $12.00 If it walks so be it LOL. I don't smoke at tailgates I just grill so for the price this works great. I can go sample food/drinks at other grills & keep track of my grill.

I went three rooms away in my house & it worked great.....two regular walls & one glass wall. not perfect but it works well enough.





I do like this new unit. But I need to buy a boat LOL

Thanks, much appreciated!  I really do think this thermometer is a game changer.  It'll be top of the heap this time next year.

Hey guys,
I'm the other guy in the video. I don't sell thermometers (I make videos) so I don't have any "skin in the game" but for what it's worth, I think this thermometer is going to take over in the next few years. It brings so much to the table (pun intended). I've got 2 thermapens and 2 Mavericks and I still plan on getting one.

I haven't been this excited about a thermometer in a really long time. It's not that it's magic or anything, it just does everything better than any other other leave-in thermometer I've used.

Also, I know Dave personally. He's a good guy (Former air force pilot, entrepreneur and dad).  You can feel good about doing business with him.

Just my two cents.
