Icefever Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 We have a couple of meat thermometers that we've used in the kitchen for a long time, as they may not be that accurate these days...I think it's time to take a step up the ladder. We're in the market for a digital one but not sure which to choose, I know the "inkbird" name from my brewing hobby. I have a couple of fermentation fridges that are run via pid. Last weekend when we did the gammon and fattie we only had the one probe to use and it was a bit of a PITA. ? Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 It really depends on the model you go for. The IBT-2X (£20) will do the job however the information on the unit itself is limited. I have one and use it but it isn't my favourite. The Bluetooth app gives you more information but it has a limited range. The Inkbird IRF-2S (£45) has a dedicated remote unit that has a range of ~300 m. This is similar to thermometers like the Maverick ET-732/733 (£45/£55) which I have used for many years and have been very pleased with. The Thermopro TP20 (£35) is also an ET-732/33 like thermometer however the range of the remote is less - ~100m. This is still a good distance My go-to thermometer is now the Smoke Wireless Thermometer from ETI - though it is a little more expensive (£78) it is easy to use and configure and has nice nice loud alarms. Whichever one you buy will do the job so it is really dependent on how much you want to pay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I use that thermopro. Cheaper and just as effective unless you need to be more than 100m from the smoker. Why would you. You want to be lazily attentive but not remote 300m! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is the one I prefer. It has a big magnet on the back too which is great for keeping it in place. It is relatively expensive though and others will do the job.

Dazza Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 @wade- just looking at an older post about the Ibt2x. When you said that the information on the unit is limited, I’m just wondering what other info is available on more expensive thermometers that aren’t on the ibt2x? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotv Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) If anybody looking for a Thermopro Dual Probe as of today April 21st, Amazon are doing the TP08 (300 feet) for £33.99 or the TP08C (500 feet) £42.49 if interested https://www.amazon.co.uk/ThermoPro-TP08C-Wireless-BBQ-Thermometer/dp/B0869F61QZ Edited April 21, 2021 by sotv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
