Product Description: This is the ONLY remote meat / barbecue thermometer that can monitor 2 types of meat or 2 doneness levels (i.e. rare, medium, well done, etc.). Just insert one or both probes into your favorite cuts of meat and select how want them cooked. When the meat is cooked exactly to your liking, the receiver will let you know by beeping. Both the receiver and the transmitter (which is attached to the probes) display the progressive meat temperature in 5-second intervals on their easy-to-read LCD screens. The receiver also displays a clock and timer. Suitable for outdoor barbecue or indoor oven use, this dual-probe wireless barbecue thermometer system makes the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking! Use it to get perfectly cooked beef, chicken, fish, pork, lamb or any other common grill meats. Uses 2 AAA and 2 AA batteries (not included).
Amazon.com Review: Cooking a dinner-party roast, holiday turkey, or backyard-barbecue pork loin to precisely the proper temperature without fuss is a snap with this thermometer. You can even monitor two foods (beef and lamb, for instance) simultaneously, since two stainless-steel probes are included, each 6 inches long and each connected to a 39-inch stainless-steel wire.
Here's how it works: program the tool (two AA batteries included) by selecting either "beef," "veal," "lamb," "pork," "chicken," or "turkey." Then program to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. The monitor displays the proper temperature--which can be altered by pressing a button. Place the probe into, say, a turkey. Run the wire from the oven and close the door. (Door should remain closed until turkey is done so oven temperature doesn't vary.) Plug the wire into the monitor, and open the monitor's built-in stand. Set the clock to the current time. (Remember, two probes can be used simultaneously for different foods, with the monitor programmed separately for each.) The monitor constantly displays the turkey's internal temperature and elapsed cooking time. (The timer can be used independently of thermometer.) When the turkey reaches the selected temperature, an alarm sounds.
Meanwhile, hook the pager (two AA batteries included) to your belt or drop it into your pocket. The pager beeps when the monitor's alarm sounds and works up to 75 feet away, liberating the cook from the kitchen. The probes can also be plugged into the pager, which displays a food's temperature on its LCD screen. So barbecuing brisket outside, roasting chicken in the oven, and keeping track of both is possible. --Fred Brack

Works flawlessly. I especially like the fact that it has room for two probes, this way if I have two diffent thicknesses of meat I can make sure they are removed at the correct times. I have also used the second probe to display the oven temp by just laying it in the grill. I like how the temp is also displayed on the transmitter so if I am by the grill and not by the receiver I can see the temp. I am careful though to not expose the probe wires to direct flames as to not ruin them. I would not hesitate to buy on again.

I bought this for my husband to go with his smoker/BBQ. He enjoys slow cooking meats and this is perfect for that. He can do other things while the meat is cooking and be alerted when the temp is too hot or too cool. He did actually have to read the directions but had it down with in a few minutes. We have not fully tested the range but there was no problem with the BBQ outside and my husband upstairs on the far side of the house.

This cooks the best meat nothing is over done and with 2 probes you can't beat it. You don't have to stand there watching food. Directions are a little confusing but if I can figure it out you can

I recently bought myself a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker, and wanted to get a wireless thermometer for monitoring pork, chicken & other goodies during "low...slow" cooking.
I started with a Walmart unit with a single probe, but the range just plain sucked. It couldn't transmit from the smoker on the back porch to inside the house very well at all. We're only talking 30-40 feet, versus the claimed range of "up to 100 feet."
I returned that one, and got a super-duper Maverick Redi-Chek ET-7 off Amazon.com. That one has 2 probes (so I can measure the temp of the item ... Read More
Rating: - Great Wireless Thermometer
I have purchased a couple wireless thermometers before and none compare to this one.
The 2 probe system is great. Even if you are not not smoking two different meats you can still use the 2nd probe for ambient temperature.
The manual was a little weak but not horrible. Reception is good and having a temp readout on both the transmitter and receiver is a nice touch.
