you will not regret it for a second
My maverick that I have had forever bit the dust last night. I don't use one often but for some things they are very nice to have. I may have to get one as well.

Thermoworks Smoke is awesome. As Joe said, you won't regret the purchase. I use the crap out of mine. Two ports work just fine for me.
@Troy - Do you have a link that is tied to the WKC so the club gets a few cents?

Thanks for the update, Troy!
Mine rocks. Really let's you know where you are in a cook without having to look.
I just purchased a green one. Can't wait.

Question. Are all probes interchangeable between brands?

Probes are not interchangeable between brands. I believe that Thermoworks probes are interchangeable between models. And I dig my Smoke, very well put together compared to Maverick.

Thanks Jon! I saved my old probes because I wasn't sure. I guess I can throw those out.

I use ThermoWorks probes with igrill systems. They work better than the igrill probes.

You can offer it up to WKC. I recently sent an extra probe to a member when theirs crapped out.

Good idea. I will do that before tossing them. I will probably check a couple other thermometers that I use inside to see if they work as well.

At some point i may need to get a thermometer. I'm old fashioned so I've been relying mostly on my 10 fingers for the past 30 years that I've been grilling.

I generally don't use anything but an instant read but certain things like jerky and cheese, I like to be more accurate.
However, with it being winter, I will probably use one for the last half of the cook on large cuts so I don't have to go outside lol.

I did a long cook yesterday and ... I reached for the Smoke instead of the Signals.
reasons:
- i didn't want to move my grill into wifi zone
- i didn't want to deal with bluetooth nonsense
- i didn't want to deal with a most likely dead battery in the signals
- i knew the smoke would be good to go without any hassle. battery for DAYSSSS

One of the main reasons I bought the smoke was because I don't get WiFi in my grilling area. I could have worked on my WiFi and figured out a way possibly, but if I understand correctly, the smoke gateway uses an rf signal to communicate to the base so I'm assuming that if I get a gateway, I could position it between the base and my router effectively giving me WiFi coverage where the signals would not. Am I understanding that correctly? In other words, could I put my gateway 10 feet away in the kitchen while the base is outside?

Yes, the WiFi gateway can go between the smoke and your network. You should likely be able to find a location where the smoke FR receiver works and also where WiFi works. The smoke gateway should be able to work there.

Awesome. That's what I was hoping. I don't have the gateway yet. Maybe a Christmas present if I'm good. But my smoke arrived today

Thank you to Jcnaz for alerting me to the sale and thank you to my old thermometer for finally breaking.

The Smoke is great on AA batteries. Been using the Smoke on a regular basis for about 18 months with the same batteries. Still going strong. I like the idea of the Signals, but it's another gadget that needs charging, I'm sure it works great. Heck, sometimes I wish my phone ran on AA or AAA batteries. Sometimes, I just get sick of having to "charge" something. Okay, rant is over.
