Maverick RediChek Remote Wireless Smoker Thermometer Review

Maverick RediChek Remote Wireless Smoker ThermometerI cannot comment yet on the probe issue as the other reviewer wrote.I have done 4 smokes with it over the past 2 weeks, and it works fine so far.I use the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, a.k.a. the Weber "Bullet".

I really like not having to keep going out and checking the temps on the cooker.I can be elsewhere (like inside watching the game), watch the monitor and relax.

The temperature seems to correlate well with other thermometers I have.I stopped using my instant read thermometer.

The alarm function works well.You can set temp alarms for the cooker and the meat, both minimums and maximums.If the temp goes outside of the range, then it will ping you.Since my cooker runs cooler, I set my lower alarm temp just a bit lower than my desired cook temperature.So if it really does lose temperature, then the thing pings me.This avoids getting intermittent pings when the temp hovers right at the lower end.It also has a timer, which is helpful.

Four things I would change if I could:

1.The cable lengths are OK, but they could be longer.For my cooker, I usually have a little side table beside it.But some people might find the cables just a bit too short.

2.The so-called "belt clip" on the receiver is weak.It fell off my belt 2-3 times, so now I don't clip it on.

3.The box in which the thermometer comes isn't so great for repackaging.If you don't use the box again, this isn't a worry.If I was designing it, I would not make everything so compact.Maybe that's why the first reviewer's probe went bad, trying to cram everything back in the box.

4.The manual is only OK.I am pretty tech savvy, so it wasn't too much of a problem to figure out what it was trying to explain.But some might find it lacking.

But I'd recommend purchasing it, especially if you are more than just a novice smoker.
