What thermometer do you use
« on: June 15, 2017, 06:08:56 PM »
I have a Maverick 733. It works but I hate it. Why
The instructions suck and it is impossible to set up
So for Father's Day I ask for a Grill eye. What do you use
The thermo works smoke was my second choice

I like my 733. At first it was confusing but after a few cooks it's not bad at all.

732 is my go to. I haven't read the directions, but haven't tried to set any alarms. 733 gets the call, when I need more probes. Thermapen is my best friend.

Mine is easy to set up. Lemans your unit will continue to be impossible to set up and it will suck and you will hate it until you learn what to do. Here is a bunch of walk throughs:

I have seen all of these. I'm a professional photographer and I have read the instructions for all the pro cameras on the market and have used them all.. the maverick is good but if you have to spend 20 mins setting up makes it unusable.. it is like the emperors new clothes. Everyone is afraid to say it sucks.. it does!!!

You're right man. How could you be wrong? Maverick never did sell too many of those things anyways. Are you gonna sell it in Member Sales and Trades?

depends on which cooker we're talking about and which temp i'm measuring. my wsm, two performers and buddy all have weber brand lid thermos. i use the the included probe from my iq110 to measure grate temp in the wsm. my Old Country Smokehouse has two tel-tru brand thermos in the door. i also have an off-brand maverick digital hand held that i use for meat temping.

I almost always use my Stoker on the WSM. On the kettle I use an old Maverick ET-72 to monitor the meat temperature when necessary. It is simple to set up, since it only monitors one temperature. I have never tried to monitor the cooking temperature on the kettle since I never cook low-and-slow on it.

Maverick 732 on the Kettles and WSM and Thermapen as well as a Weber instant read.  Best of both worlds with the Maverick and Thermapan....

Good luck!

Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...
