http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Digital-Cooking-Thermometer-Timer/dp/B00004XSC5 This is the one I have, and I'd like to have a half dozen of these things. Regarding the reviews and comments. The first review complains about 4 in 3 years breaking. Then the person's original review reveals 4 years fir the first one. I'd say that's pretty damn good for $17. Other reviewers complain that it tops out at 350. Well, it's rated to 392, but IT'S A MEAT THERMOMETER! It wasn't meant to be an oven thermometer. I, however, use it as a smoker thermometer. And my smoker shouldn't, under 95% of circumstances, get over 350. I just wish I had one for the pit, and maybe 4 for meats. Or 5....
I've recently read or heard that putting the probe tip in contact with extra hot grates will zot it. I use a chunk of wood as a probe stand I've had the thing about a year, and dragged it out to the smoker, back inside, into the oven, into various dishes, in the SnP--I foil wrapped the cable where it went thru the smoker door. Still great.
over and out.
