Dual probe BBQ thermometer
Bill:
Over a year ago I bought a Maverick Dual Probe Remote BBQ Thermometer from you. Although it does a good job when it’s finally operating it has got to be the most user UN-friendly piece of electronics that I own. Trying to set it usually results in three, four or more tries in spite of following the instructions at each use.
Aren’t there any dual probe thermometers that are simpler to set-up and use? The steps are reminiscent of my Garman GPS that I have in my car that takes 10 minutes of effort to set-up before I pull out of the driveway. Even any new computer software is usually, “Plug and play.”
I would certainly like a temperature probe that sets-up faster so that my smoke hasn’t began to cool down while waiting for the probe.
Finally, another problem that I see with the Maverick is; The cables are too short! I own a Smoky Mountain – Great Outdoors vertical shelving smoker and the cables are too short to place the transmitter anywhere but on the hot, top surface of the smoker. I usually have to place a chair or stool too close to the smoker to have a place to set the transmitter.
I will await your reply whenever you get the time.
Thanks,
Ron
