Maverick XR-50 Extended Range 4-Probe Wireless Meat Thermometer for Smoker & Grill, 1000ft Remote Digital BBQ Thermometer with Waterproof Probes, Alarms & Backlit LCD

I seldom write reviews....it has to be an exceptional product or a piece of junk before I take time to advise others. This in an exceptional product. I grill and/or smoke meat several times per week and have used this product 15-20 times already. Whether I'm doing a long slow cook on a brisket or cooking medium rare beef tenderloins....this multi temp probe unit is the key. It is easy to use and has remained flawless for accurate read-out. If I plug in all 4 of the probes they will read within 1 degree of each other (other units I've owned were all over the place and lacked accuracy). This comes in very handy when grilling steaks for company that requires doing some at "medium rare" and some at "medium". The only thing I am not able to comment on, is the long term durability. It appears to be very well made, but I have only used it for a few months so far. CK

It works as advertised. And it worked more than once. I've had problems with remote thermometers in the past either the probes would quit working, or the unit would just die after a couple of uses. The Maverick XR-50 has exceeded my expectations. the multiple probes come in very handy when cooking multiple meats, or like last weekend I smoked a duck and had grill temp, breast temp, and thigh temp. It is easy to set up none of that set meat and taste just to get the temp that you wanted. Just straightforward setting the temp, and you can put the remote in your pocket and not lose your settings. It was designed by someone who actually makes Barbeque. In closing I will add that the Maverick XR-50 is the leave in thermometer I have always dreamed about. It com pleats my smoking rig A 22in Weber Kettle, Slow n Sear 2.0, and the Maverick XR-50. They go together like Ribs and Smoke.

I decided to purchase this thermometer after seeing excellent reviews on AmazingRibs.com, and I was not disappointed! I've done a 10lb pork shoulder and a whole chicken already, and they were just perfect! The meat probes seem to correlate extremely well with my handheld digital thermometer, so I was happy with that. My only issue was that the ambient probe didn't correlate at all with my dome thermometer. I know, I know... The ambient probe should be the more accurate of the two! My dome temp runs about 20-50 degrees lower than the digital probe read. However, when I was slow rolling at 250F digital for the pork shoulder, the meat absolutely failed to come out of its stall. When I let my Kamado Joe rise back up to 250F on the dome thermometer, the stall finally ended and my shoulder started to cook again. I think the final cook time was close to 20hrs! When I did the whole chicken, I used the dome thermometer as my baseline, which worked very well. I then used the meat probe to determine when the cook was done. Perfect! Overall, I highly recommend this device. Well priced, durable and very easy to use! My only suggestion would be to play around a bit with your digital probe-to-dome temps before you invite the family over for a BBQ just to make sure you know your cook zones.

i love it for the easy setting temps ,but i have to go outside to my smoker to set temps the probes are accurate and easy to clean being water resistant, just the clip to hold on grill rack hole is way to big probes keep sliding out the wire on probes could be longer to reach food on far end on my campchef love this meter the price is right if they offer one with wifi i would get it

Very impressed with how well built this unit is. It seems quite sturdy, displays are bright and easy to read, and controls are intuitive and well laid-out. You should read the directions anyway, as there are some nuances that require a bit of education, but not much! I turned on both units and they synced together without issue. Since some reviewers said they had syncing issues, I re-synced twice, just to make sure that wasn't an issue, and no problems at all. With all temperature probes plugged in at once, they all read within one degree of each other. The two furthest apart were still less than a degree apart. That may not be scientific accuracy, but it's good enough for barbecue! 5 stars for a very good unit at a very decent price.

We have used this several times and have found it works very well. The 4 probes are really nice and since they are interchangeable, they can be dedicated to a variety of meats or vegetables. We have had other wireless remote thermometers, but this one seems to be the best. The probes broke several times on the other thermometer and we just got tired of replacing them. The wire seemed to be weak at the connecting point of the probe. It frayed with just a few uses. Thus far, this one seems to be a better quality. If you like to BBQ and also entertain your guests while the food is cooking, I recommend a remote thermometer and this one in particular.

This thing is spot on! Checked it in boiling and freezing water and probes are accurate! I love this thermometer, i no longer have to tend to my stick burner near as much, i place a probe on the racks and one in the meat and both are spot on! It has great distance, never had an issue with being too far away. I sit inside and drink beer...got the receiver right next to me to see my temps and love the low/high temp setting! Had a TP20 and it was GARBAGE! Returned it after first use. Spent a few extra bucks on this gem and have regretted it once!

Thie screen on this thermometer unit is easy to read and use. Each probe has a display showing the current temp as well as the high and low temp settings for the alarm. I would have preferred that the low temp alarm be on the left and the high temp alarm on the right. That would be more intuitive than high on the left, low on the right. I have used this probe thermometer several times and found that I like using the alarms for the meat temperature but not for the smoker temperature. My smoker temperature varies wildly when it starts pushing more pellets into the burn pot. By setting a high and low temp alarm for the meat I am alerted when the meat is done cooking or if the smoker ran ot of pellets or turned off or something and the meat started cooling. I can still watch the smoker temp. I just don't use those alarms. All for probes will easily fit through one small hole in the side of my smoker. The probes are wider but the wires all fit through together. I use two probes to monitor the meat and two to monitor the smoker temp. I used to be constantly checking the meat when cooking but now I just check the screen on the unit in my house. I don't even have to go outside much except to flip the meat. This unit has made grilling and smoking meat much easier.

Ich bin von einem "smarten" Thermometer wieder weggegangen, da mich Reichweite und andere Kleinigkeiten, nicht überzeugt haben. Mit dem Maverick, habe ich ein Thermometer gefunden, was eine extrem gute Reichweite hat und er macht auch genau, dass was er soll - Kerntemperatur messen und mit 4 Anschlüssen, kann ich weiteres Grillgut messen. Die Bedienung ist nach dem ersten einlesen sehr einfach und das Gehäuse wirkt sehr robust
