Great accuracy and reliability

Verdict

The Thermoworks Smoke receives high praise for its accuracy, reliability, and range. Many reviewers prefer it over other thermometers that rely on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity. The addition of the Smoke Gateway in spring 2017 will allow for remote monitoring via a phone or tablet. The Smoke X2 or X4 models have longer ranges. The pager-style design of the Smoke two-channel alarm is a favorite among reviewers. The buttons on other thermometers are criticized for feeling cheap and wobbly. The ThermoWorks Smoke is praised for its solid construction. The Smoke is recommended for those who only need two probes, while the Smoke X4 is recommended for those who want four probes. The Smoke is also noted for its compatibility with other probes. The Thermoworks Smoke is highly recommended for those in need of a reliable meat thermometer.

Thermoworks Signals vs Meater: Thoughts and opinions.

The bluetooth signal is not strong enough to connect from even a few feet away. When I talked to their support their solution was to have me buy the Meater+ charger for an additional $80 so that it can use it as a bluetooth repeater, or leave a 2nd cell phone within range of the probe and connect it to wifi and set up a cloud account. I opted for the latter option and it worked but was spotty enough that I eventually bought the Thermoworks Smoke instead.

Saw this deal on Amazon today.. I'd be all over it if I didn't already have a good thermo. Thought maybe someone here be in need of one though!

it's a perfectly fine thermo, and worked great, but the dependency on a smart phone app just rubbed me the wrong way. I've been using a Thermoworks Smoke for years and am very used to the dedicated receiver that I can see at a glance. with the smart phone app I have to pull out the phone and open the app for every temp check. If this had a dedicated receiver option, along with the wifi smartphone connection, it would be perfect...but if the choice is one or the other, I'll take the dedicated receiver.

Can anyone help a new guy trying to get started?

Yes, invest in a good meat thermometer. Of the seven or eight I've used over the past two decades, the ThermoWorks Smoke is the best.
