I love this thermometer for the ease of programing and the rich features.  I have bought several.  I use them for baking bread and especially making sure that my turkey has not overcooked.  However, the probe has a short life.  A replacement unit states in the manual that it has a temperature limit of 395F which explains why they have been failing.  I will try keeping the oven temperature down and won't use the grill, maybe it will last longer.

I have found that wrapping the wire with a couple of layers of foil makes them last longer.  Also, replacement probes are available from Taylor for a reasonable $5 each.  Contact customer service through [...] for details.

Note that my Weber Grill probe did not last as long as these Taylor probes in the grill.
