I know you guys have talked about this but how bout one more time.
I have a GrillAlert R/T and know its not the best.
Been looking at a maverick et-732. Is this the best I can do or is there better?? :-\
Thanks
Et-733
There are others which are more expensive
The mavericks are the most popular due to bang for the buck
I have a maverick et733. It's good. Not perfect but it was $45 on Amazon. Black Friday. They now have a smart phone model but the feedback on it is spotty. Thermidorian are better I think but they are way more money
I have a ET-732 and the iGrill2. I like the features of the iGrill2, but do not like having to use my phone for the other half of it. So, most of the time I use the ET-732. I have had probes out of wack a couple of times (replaced them) but its a solid device at a really good price.
I have two ET-732's. I'd buy them again if necessary. If you have the coin and want top of the line, look at something from Thermoworks.
I have a ET-732 that I bought 4 years ago. It has been dropped a couple of times and melted slightly on the door of my WSM since I wasn't paying attention and it still works flawlessly.
Think I'll go with the 732. Some bad reviews on amez but you will always have that.
Thanks guys
ET-733 for me. Its been left out in the rain a couple times by accident and still works. I'd buy again.
I used to use a Maverick, but the signal couldn't reach the master bedroom on the second floor so I use the iGrill2 now. Works great and plenty of reach with the Bluetooth.
ET-733 here. One of the inputs reads weirdly on the sending unit, like 5-10 degrees off. I verified it's not the probes with different probes from a buddy's 732. I still need to contact Maverick about it. :(
whatever you do, do not get the 735.
WORST PRODUCT EVER.
732 is where its at!

Another vote for the 732.....strong, durable and reliable even after 4yrs use and abuse

Yes and in my experience anytime you don't use a dedicated solution you're introducing variables. I like having my phone handy for pictures but to rely on the software for grilling would be needlessly fussy. I'll take my less expensive, 300ft-range model any day over that.
732 came today! Can't wait start learning to dial in and start smoking.
Good choice. I think the K.I.S.S. Rule applies with this model and that's why it's so popular
@TheDude I also have the 732, and maybe I'm the only one with this problem, but the cable leads get brittle over time, be careful not to kink them because they look fine but won't report temps correctly. Hence I have a couple spare cable leads that also are longer which is a added bonus. I also throw a sandwich bag over the transmitting unit if the weather is questionable, I think that's saved my 732 a couple times due to an unexpected rain shower.

There was just another thread about that. http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/remote-thermometer-probes/ I was already planning the tool hook (kinda mad I forgot it on this order). Sounds like a perfect solution.
