Need advice for BBQ cooking wireless thermometer
- Thread starter PSU95alum
- Start date
I've used RediChck wireless with two probes for several years with no complaints - $40 at WalMart
I also use a PartyQ to maintain a constant temp for long cooks like brisket (my favorite), but that's a bit more of an investment at $150.

The Redi Chek is a dual probe thermometer that uses its own wireless connection to the remote (no bluetooth).
The PartyQ is a different type of device that has the sole function of maintaining a constant smoker temperature by regulating (by fan) airflow so you don't have to constantly monitor or adjust vents. This is of tremendous help in those 10+ hour smokes.
Disregard my post above.
Digital thermometers are not created Ed equal. Most come from China and will be out of wack by 5-15 degrees and will only last 1-3 years once you calibrate it.
Spend the $ and get something from Thermo Works. Last forever and accurate out of the box.

I got a Weber wireless one that has a Bluetooth app to your phone. Used it for the first time at thanksgiving. I checked it’s accuacy with a standard thermometer and it was dead on. I liked the app. I paid around $45 at home depot
Thx. I don’t think I’m ready for the PartyQ yet. But the redi check might be just the thing I’m looking for. I’ll look into it more. Thx!
Thanks. I assume since it’s Bluetooth, you can’t stray too far from the probes to get a read on your phone?
I think that would be enough. I’d only need the WiFi one if I could actually control the temp from phone when away from the house, which I’m assuming is what the units with the fans can do.
Here is the Thermopro i bought for my Kamado. Wireless, 2 probes(one for the meat and the other to check grill.temp), easy to use and works great. $45. https://buythermopro.com/product/thermopro-tp-08-digital-wireless-meat-thermometer/
I have the Smoke pro series from thermo works. So far so good. I also had one from Redi Check from Thermoworks. That one was not very accurate. It was off 10-15 degrees I think. But you figure that out and adjust.
The Thermo works was recommended by amazing ribs linked above

Forgot to mention the other essential if you don't already have one -- a Thermapen (or similar brand). Does an instantaneous read of your internal meat temperature so you can double-check before taking it off.
Absolutely. I already had one of those in my Amazon cart when I went looking for the wireless probe. Thanks!
This (Lavatools Javelin Pro) is a highly recommended alternative to the Thermapen (though that is a great product as well)....
Amazon product ASIN B06XDHT39GI have one, and just shipped one to my step father for his birthday
