Title: Good concept, less than stellar execution
Product review: I've owned this for four months, used it at least 20 times and overall I'm disappointed. My probes both burned out within a couple of days of each other after four months of use.Pros:- Great concept, and convenient if you're smoking anything large that may take several hours- Dual smoker and meat probes are handy to have in one unit- Easy to read LCDsCons:- You have to remove the back cover of the sending unit each time you need to turn it off/on- The range is quite poor, especially if your smoker is outside and you want to stay inside. I keep my smoker just outside my garage and I lose signal inside my house unless I keep the receiver on the counter right by my garage entrance, so the range is only about 25 to 30 feet.- The temp probes on my unit seem to be consistently high by 5 to 8 degrees compared to my smoker's digital temp probe and other manual thermometers.- Short lived
