Mine broke in about an hour. Got it replaced, and that one lasted
about two.

Lots of similar tales told in the Customer Review section at the end
of that URL (pronounced "Earl"). Enough of them that I'm even hesitant
to buy a couple with a freebie $15 gift certificate I need to cash in
by tomorrow night.

Plus also, take a look at the following review. If it wasn't written
by a shill, I'll eat my (unsmoked) hat. Notice especially the
"solution" offered to the problem of b0rken probes: Why, just buy two
extras!

**************
From prime rib in the oven to steaks on the grill, this gadget
guarantees your meats will be perfectly cooked every time.

We do a lot of entertaining, often cooking on the outdoor grills, on
the indoor grills, in the oven and on the stove at the same time. With
a lot of people at our home and a LOT of food to manage, we sometimes
get distracted. This tiny gadget guarantees our meats will be
perfectly cooked every time.

We simply set the thermometer to the type of meat we are cooking
(beef, chicken, etc.) and enter the degree of doneness we desire
(well, medium, rare). We can walk away and 'forget it', assured that
the remote will signal us when the meat is done.

Before we purchased this item, we'd have to open the oven or grill to
insert a standardthermometer, thereby losing precious heat only to
discover the meat wasn't done. The NexxTech Remote BBQ Thermometer
allows us to continuously monitor the temperature of the meat without
opening the door.

My husband says this is the best gift he receivedlast Christmas. He
was very disappointed when, after dropping the sensor on the hard
floor, it no longer worked. So....I purchased two more.

This is a must-have for the busy cook or occassional backyard griller.

Be nice if they actually HAD some. Doubtless when they do, the
special will be over.

Well, since I tried ordering it 7!!! times and each time I hit 'go to
the next step' (which should have been 'go enter your info') I got
'you have removed all items from your shopping cart' as well as a
constant 'notify me when it's available message'....

What is it with offshore digital thermometers? I had a NexxTech wired
one. The display for the timer was twice the size as the display for
the temp. The probe was close to a foot long, with no curve. That just
doesn't work with a WSM, unless you can drop it in from the top vent and
neatly get the correct spot in the thigh of the turkey...

My current one, a Canadian Tire cheapie, is a wireless job with the
pre-programmed meat temps. If they are going to cater to bbq types,
make a programmed temp of 190 for pork! The thing transmits every
second. If anyone on the design team knew about bbqing they would have
set that to read every minute.

If any design weenies are looking through this site, here is what we need;

Transmitter that can sit out in the rain,
Current temp display on the transmitter
Big freakin' display of the current temp on the remote,
Ability to set min & max alarms,
Ability to choose a beep or a blinky-light for the alarm.
4' of wire between the probe and the jack.
Spare probe!

Add: Durable and reliable

It's could be done... at a retail price of $79.95 USD or
so. I'd pay it.

Any of you designers out there, pay heed to Reg and Wally on
this one.

So far as I can tell, there isn't even one of them anywhere in the

I went and looked. Wasn't impressed. Then I checked their uwaves and found
a GE 1 cu. ft, 1,100 watt unit for $65! Picked it up today to replace my 30
year old, $400, Amana, which just died. Thanks, jimmyz!

I bought one wednesday, but they didn't have them on the shelf. Mine
was in a box with other junk at the cash register and it took them a
long time to find it. It did show up in the computer inventory list.

The one I got was in a box with other junk at the cash register. I haven't
