Son asked for this as part of his Xmas present and he was thrilled when he got it.
He used it on our tomahawk steaks and was perfect.
Review after 10 months of ownership and use.
This is the second wireless thermometer I’ve used, first from this company, and I’ll never buy from another company again.
First, the accuracy – there are two probes, one for dome temp, and one for food. Both very accurate according to other measurements that I take. Secondly, the wireless range allows me to stay inside during long winter cooks. There are max/min measurements that can be set, and the unit alarms if breached.
Finally, the customer service shown by this company is top notch. Responsive, helpful and dedicated to nurturing customers like me, and hopefully you.
An absolute must for me. BBQ temperature at grill level instead of the wildly inaccurate built in thermometers reading. Internal food temperature without opening the BBQ to check. Take the guesswork out of getting the right “doneness”
Good wireless range and excellent battery life. After many cooks I had a problem with one of the probes. The customer service was a joy compared to others and they sent out a replacement immediately. Very happy with the TP-08!!
I have used it a couple of times and the result was incredibly succulent, gorgeously tender meat, so that is very much a plus. It was great to be able to go off into the kitchen and make coleslaw and to use the remote receiver to monitor the BBQ.
However, there are a couple of oddities and difficulties with it which prevent me from giving it full marks.
Firstly the controls and operation aren’t completely intuitive. The instruction leaflet does explain it, but it’s not straightforward. And, for some operations, you have to be quick or it goes back to standard mode while you’re trying to read what you do next and you have to start again!
For the maximum temperature, it alarms you when it is EXCEEDED, not reached. So if you want to know when your meat reaches 65c, you need to set the maximum to 64c. Very minor, but not quite intuitive. Buy it works with the BBQ temperature where I’d set the maximum to 110c and want to know when that’s exceeded.
And where do you put the sensor for the BBQ temperature? (Yes, I know it goes inside the BBQ!) The temperature on mine is very different from one end to the other and from the top to the bottom. So when I’ve read that you’re aiming to keep the BBQ between 90c and 110c, I don’t know where to put the sensor! Some guidance in the instruction manual would be helpful.
Luckily my BBQ has a temperature gauge on it, so I put the sensor in and then “calibrate” my maximum and minimum temperatures based on what that gauge shows. So if the sensor shows 85c when the gauge shows 90c, I’ll set my minimum to 85c.
That said, I haven’t been able to keep the temperature of my BBQ very stable so I’ve ended with lots of alarms and ended up switching the alarm function of, which then means that I don’t get an alarm when my meat reaches temperature. You can just not set a maximum and minimum for the BBQ (or set them to extremes that you’re never going to reach) but personally I’d prefer to be able to switch off the BBQ temperature alarm independently.
And the clip that holds the sensor is a bit difficult to use and doesn’t hold the sensor very firmly.
Also, I cooked a duck in the oven and, when I got it out it was a little underdone. I’m not sure if I got the probe in the wrong place or what, but again a little more guidance than just “stick it in the thickest part of the meat” would be helpful in the instruction book.
None of these negatives are particularly significant and I have happily and successfully worked around them, so my overall view is that this has been a good purchase and I am, so far, very happy with it.
Excellent product which did exactly as advertised – just installed batteries, plugged in and it worked like a dream.
Was very impressed with pre-sales discussion with ThermoPro via Webchat before purchase where I was convinced to buy this model rather than the more expensive TP-20s, as it comes with both a high and low temp alarm better suited for WSM.
I previously purchased a much applauded thermometer endorsed by a well known chef. It proved to be useless . I returned it and purchased this model and I am delighted with it.. It is accurate fast and very convenient. Easy to use and good price and service. The company has excellent back up in the event of problems. Strongly recommend.
I’ve had my offset smoker for a year, after using it for the first time I have found a massive difference with the quality of the food from the first use
Had a problem with the first thermometer I was sent however a replacement was quickly sorted. Excellent customer service. Now I’ve used this, the thermometer seems accurate and the range of the receiver is good. Can recommend.
I’ve only used the ThermoPro TP-08 once so far but it was a great success. Took me about 10-15 mins of reading and re-reading the manual to be sure of what to do but then I was away. I used it to monitor the temperature of my coal BBQ as I needed it to be 160-170c for 2-3 hrs. I used both probes, one for the BBQ temp and the other for the meat temperature and used the alarm.functions on the probes so I was alerted if the temps went outside of the acceptable range which I programmed in. I’ve never used any kind of temperature gauge on the BBQ before, or messed about with the vents to be honest, but I still found the ThermoPro incredibly simple to use. My only issue was trying to find somewhere on the BBQ to clip the monitor to. The monitor worked a treat, able to watch television and yet still knew whether I needed to pop outside to open or shut the BBQ vents. And the BBQ’d char sui pork I was attempting was delicious.
I bought the TP-08 in July 2017 as an upgrade to my previous food temperature probe which was restricted by wires. This simultaneously lets me keep track of the smoker temp and food temp from the comfort of the house without having to trek up and down the garden, so much easier. I was disappointed when one of the probes recently failed. The TP-08 came with a guarantee on the probes so I contacted the company for a replacement. Unfortunately they were out of replacement probes but they sent me a complete replacement item (actually an upgraded TP-08S) instead!! All within a week of my original email, fantastic customer service!
Takes the guesswork out of smoking meat and the messing about with thermometers also makes the process more relaxing as you don’t need to check on your dampers every few mins
Very good and simple to use, unit has much better range than previously owned bluetooth devices. Only thing stopping me giving five stars is the grill clip could be better designed, it does ping off and the probe can slide out.
Purchased last Aug (2017) and it worked a dream until a week or so ago. Contacted the seller and there is a replacement grill probe on the mat waiting for me to get home. I’ll check it out as soon as I can and report back. Customer service is second to none. Many thanks.
Very accurate and does exactly what you need it to. Can watch temperature of meat without opening the lid and from the comfort of your living room. Tested with boiling water and was accurate to within a few tenths of a degree which is as accurate as you will get.
Although one probe broke the customer service was excellent and a new one was sent immediately no questions asked.
I’ve used this several times now and unfortunately the remote part doesn’t read very well through walls/windows, making it a bit useless when I step away from the bbq (during a long smoke, this becomes a bit of a pain, really). Also, I used it for measuring the temp on some frying oil the other day and to my surprise it had a hard time reading the oil above 160C. It was off by 100 degrees! It’s also very slow to update the temperature as it fluctuates. I’ve had better, cheaper digital thermometers that read more accurately in real time. Still, it does a decent job and the addition of a second probe for ambient is really helpful.
I bought this last year, but have only just started using it. I find it easy to use, essentially plug the probes in to the transmitter, and place the probes in the BBQ and meat and hey presto you’re done.
The screens are easy to read, and switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius is a piece of cake.
Very good range, can’t say I’ve tested the full 300 feet, but certainly good for 150+.
Slight criticism is that the holes where the probes attach on the transmitter aren’t marked.
Had my ThermoPro for more than 6 months of brilliant service, using 3 or 4 times per week, last week, the temperature started to fluctuate, contacted ThermoPro about how to test the probes to ensure the instrument didn’t need re-calibrating. They contacted me straight back and sent out two new probes. Brilliant service and excellent product, set the alarms and walk away, enjoy your day and has helped me greatly, resulting in some excellent smoked food.
Easy to use and it does what it says on the description. I was delighted with it as it takes the guess work out of barbecuing. My paschal lamb was wonderful and the probe told me when the joint was ready in my barbecue in the garage while I supped Procescco and watched the monitor in my sitting room! A happy Easter was had by all. Good valley for money.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT, SLOW AND LOW MuST HAVE, first cook went like a dream, six hour cook way too cold to be outside and this help me maintain temp to within 1 of 275 needing only two trips during the cook to spritz, you simply can’t do an accurate slow in low without this even though the gauge On my Kamadoe joe classic two is grea
Really impressed with the customer service, worked perfectly for my first two long smokes but on the third use the food probe gave very high readings in raw food. Probe was replaced within a week and can now use it again.
Great bit of kit! Having had loads of cheaper therms in the past that have died miserably I decided to fork out that little bit more for a decent one and I duno why I didn’t just do it in the first place… has transformed my cooking both in the kitchen and on the bbq.
Purchased for husband for Christmas. He is very happy with it. Worked well for christmas meats and a leg of lamb over new year. He has yet to use it on his smoker but is sure it will work as required.
I did a 12 hour cook and it didn’t let me down through the whole process!
The transmitter was fine outside, despite the low ambient temperatures (about 2C outside).
The receiver worked perfectly even through the external walls of the house! However, the receiver did go off a couple of times when I left it out in the cold for a while. This may be due to the cold temperatures as it worked well again once I took it back inside.
Overall, very happy with this product!
Product works well as described. Had an issue with one of the temperature probes but the company was very quick to resolve the issue. They should be proud of their customer service.
Just bought my second f these as a present fo my sister. Really great product and the company are passionate about customer service. Very impressive. As a cook the reason these are so good is that you can monitor the oven/BBQ temperature AND meat temperature continuously and remotely without disturbing your cooking. Very convenient and enables seriously good results from your cooking
Great product that is a must for anyone smoking big joints of meat from numerous hours. Essential for keeping track of internal temp and getting the meat to that juicy pull about texture. The team at myitronics were also very helpful in providing information about how to start up the probe/gauge and if any problems occur how to get in contact with them.
This is a great product and the customer service is second to none. I would recommend the ThermoPro to anyone. You get peace of mind with their great after sales service AND amazing garuantees. Keep up the good work at ThermoPro guys!
Perfect for monitoring the temps of my bbq and what I’m cooking. The backlight helps in the early morning or late nights if smoking etc and the temp can be in C or F degrees depending on what you like. Being wireless I’m able to set this with alarms too (which are great) and grab a little nap inside.
Have used this twice now. So easy to set up and saves worrying about the temp on the bbq when doing low and slow. I have a weber 22 inch mastertouch. The wires seem very robust and I gently place the lid over them rather than running through the top vent. Saves messing around when taking the lid off. The range is perfect for me reaches to the front of the house from the back garden. All in all so happy I got this over the maverick. One other thing on one review on this they said you cannot adjust up and down on the temp. Well on this unit thermopro tp08 you can. Time will tell how well it lasts but the company seem very helpful and friendly. They email you thanking you for your purchase and offer any help required. If you are thinking of getting one get it you will not regret it.
Does a good job, love the reading for BBQ and food you can keep track of all the temps you need to do low and slow cooking and make sure the food is cooked to the right temp. You can sit in the house and watch the temp if need be so you don’t have to sit next to the BBQ for the cook
For any serious barbecue this is essential bit of kit. Means you can leave the lid down and keep in all the lovely juices, yet still monitor the temperature of the meat and the BBQ itself. Takes a bit of setting up to get best results; but the video is good. Great bit of ki
I’ve been using this in my offset smoker and it’s improved my cooking. The built in temperature probe on the BBQ was way off and this proved it. Super useful and worth every penny.
perfect for cooking on the bbq as I can monitor both core and bbq temperature. Wireless to remote pairs easily and does what it’s meant to! I’ve found it very useful to slow cook in my kitchen oven as the air probe allows you to tweak the oven thermostat to set it to an exact temperature. I had a problem with one of the probes and itronic replaced it in a couple of days.
Excellent product and easy to set up and use. Does exactly what it claims to do and the customer service is second to none i had a problem with one of the probes it was settled with no fuss and within a couple of days of emailing the company in Canada!!! I highly recommend thermo pro products
Quality product, felt a little light weight out of the box but have now used it a few time baking bread and a few times while cooking in the BBQ. Double thermometers area massive help ! Top marks.
I have bought two Thermopro TP08 thermometers since August 2016, one for myself, and was impressed enough with mine to order the second for my son-in-law some months later. I have used mine to calibrate the electric oven indoors and to manage roasts both indoors and on my Weber kettle.
The Thermopro TP08 is very accurate – I’ve used my Thermapen digital thermometer to corroborate the temperature delivered by the food probe (within a few tenths degrees C of the Thermapen). It has made a real difference to being in control of the “doneness” of the roasts, especially on the BBQ where the BBQ probe gives much more accurate feedback of the BBQ temperature.
On receiving the Thermopro it seemed rather more lightweight than I was expecting, but in practice, has proved to be adequately robust and well constructed. It may not be clear on purchase, but ITronics offers a lifetime warranty, on the probes!! – And delivers on it too! My BBQ probe failed a couple of weeks ago. I emailed ITronics in U.S.A. They replied in 24/48 hrs to each of my emails, and I received a replacement probe within 10 days of the first email without having to return the failed part. – Truly impressive! Not surprisingly I’ve noticed Thermopro featuring in several “Best Digital BBQ Thermometers” on U Tube.
I considered deducting one star on account of the failed part, but the assurance provided by the quality of their customer service more than made up for it.
Best gadget I’ve bought recently. Takes my bbq skills to new heights, enabling longer cook times low and slow and above all safe in the knowledge the meats cooked to perfection. Done lamb, beef, chicken and gonna try pork next. All turned our more delicately flavoured and quicker cooked than without this. Just gives you more control. With lifetime guarantees on the probes it’s a no brainer….Just gotta get decent briquettes and you’ll be a pitmaster in no time. Was going to upgrade my kettle to a egg type one but no need now, that’s a hellva saving on cost and space.
The range on this is great and signal was fine when I went into the house for forty winks while the brisket was smoking away – I was probably about 10 metres away with a wall between.
Definitely pick one up if your serious about cooking big cuts of meat or doing roasts / smokers on the bbq / braai 🙂
Used this product to smoke some meats on a BBQ, couldn’t of done it without this, it is accurate and the fact you can carry it around means you can have a beer on the job anywhere around the house, I dropped it on the concrete a couple of times (which I wouldn’t suggest) and it bounced well and seems very well built.
Have not had chance to use all facilities on ThermoPro, but have been able to use it to ‘tame’ new cooker with excellent results. It seems very easy to use and look forward to exploiting its full potential.
Just got into bbq smoking with a few disappointing results. Since buying the ThermoPro it has taken the guess work right out of cooking and getting the perfect internal temperature for pulled pork. Would highly recommend.
I bought this Thermo Pro to start smoking meat and what an excellent buy it has turned out to be. My first attempt was smoking a shoulder of pork and the information from the thermometers was invaluable particularly the heat of the smoker. The result was outstanding which would have been impossible to judge without this product. I would recommend the Thermo Pro I could sit in the lounge and watch what was occurring with the meat and the smoker. The customer service has been exceptional informing me of videos to watch on the set up and use very impressed.
This is a really handy bit of kit! Fairly easy to set-up and once you get the hang of it, there’s no going back.
I originally ordered the more expensive ThermoPro TP20 only to discover that it does not have the alarms for the smoker going too cold or too hot so returned it and tried this one which does everything I hoped for, and has been invaluable for my BBQ smoker.
Simultaneously knowing the exact temperature of both the smoker and the internal temperature of your meat means you can be a lot more confident in how your cook is going, and prevents the dreaded ‘peeping’ that can waste heat and moisture from the oven.
I know it’s possible to track temperatures with cheaper probes, but the peace of mind this brings is worth the extra (and if it prevents you from spoiling an expensive cut of meat, then it earns its keep!). I was surprised how inaccurate my smoker’s own temperature gauge was.
The wireless range is impressive, reaching any room in my house from the garden, and the alarm feature has enabled me to prevent the oven from going out or getting too hot and ruining my long-and-slow cooks on a number of occasions.
I did have one problem with the receiver (possibly due to water ingress) so I contacted the company directly and they very promptly arranged for a replacement with minimum fuss, so I can vouch for the customer service too.
I am not in any way affiliated with the product, but I have been so impressed that I felt the need to write a review for anybody who might be wavering over buying one of these superb little monitors. Do it – you won’t regret it. Happy smoking!
The good
* 2 probes — one measuring meat temperature (with upper threshold alarm) and one measuring the temperature of the grill (with upper and lower threshold alarms)
* Operation does not require reading the manual, but does take a bit of attention and getting used to
* Fahrenheit and Celsius — though not at the same time
* Backlight — nice and bright, very useful
* Overall good value for your money
* Decent range — 30m (100ft) in/out of the house, though walls wasn’t a problem (maybe because the batteries were fresh?)
* Sensor unit has an extra tiny display and a flashing light showing it is working and what is being measured with values. Nice!
The bad
* Quality — well it feels cheap. Plastic feels very fragile, the rubberised sleeve look very budget, back support feel very-very delicate. Overall — cheap Chinese plastic (no disrespect to China — they do make some great stuff); strangely — the probes look very sturdy. Buttons on the receiver often get locked up in the case — main reason is the plastic bits aren’t manufactured well, same thing for the case, while the springs inside feel very weak
* No markings which slot is for which probe, though this is not much of a problem — permanent marker fixes this in an instant
* No clock — would be really nice if there was one; same thing for a timer
* No pouch — how the hell am I store this after the use? The original packaging is temporary; there are a few fiddly bits that could suffer if you toss the unit and the probes into the cupboard (takes quite a bit of space BTW)
Other thoughts — I fully recommend this device; it gets the job done and is simple to use. I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more to have it done out of good quality materials (the quality of the manufacturing is my biggest gripe). In terms of functionality — all is there, quality makes this product lose a star.
Brilliant product. Easy to use and seems very accurate. Pierce the meat with the probe, close the lid, sync the two devices and get on with something else. When something needs attention or its ready the remote tells you. Its waterproof, which is ideal in the UK as on the first 2 uses it has lashed it down. Lifetime guarantee on the probes. What more could you ask.
Easy too use & well built product. I used it for the first time and the alarm allowed me to maintain my smoker at the perect temperature, which meant the finished ribs where perfectly cooked. Setting the range of temperatures is simple, and the product is well designed and has a robust build. Will be using every time i cook. The length of the probe cable is much longer than shown in the picture which is a great feature allowing me to place it any wher in my large meat smoker. 5 stars well earned.
This was purchased as a replacement for my failing Maverick (5 years of good service). It is an excellent replacement, easy to use with good long distance wireless connection. Both units have clip in battery covers so that replacing batteries does not require a screwdriver. The probes have good length leads.
Connection between the transmitter and the receiver was very quick the first time and continues to be a reliable connection.
The price (UK) is excellent
I hope I don’t have to use it but the warranty promise is exceptional.
would have no hesitation to buy another one.
What a fantastic bit of kit. I have spent 40 years mistreating expensive meat and have found this twin temperature reader easy to set up – keep a eye on BBQ ( gas)while serving drinks and when it says the meat is done it has been perfect. My wife , who believes that experience can beat technology, is now almost convinced!
It arrived on time ,well packed and I am most grateful to you – thanks
Easy to set up min/max alarms and allows (mostly) stress free cooks with the confidence to just leave the lid closed for hours at a time. I’ve had had great results smoking baby backs, spare ribs, pork butts, beef short ribs, and reverse searing huge rib-eyes.
Fantastic customer service too, my meat probe started to show inaccuracies after a year of use and I had a brand new one on my doorstep within a few days free of charge.
Used this for the first this weekend
Easy to set up and easy to use
A must for all bbqers
Lots of functions including Alarm so you do have to sit and watch the gauge
Pretty simple to use I got mine up and running right away. I used mine for smoking and I found there was a big change frommy smokers thermometer to the thermopro. This thermometer gave me much better BBQ that I had been doing. I took the wireless receiver with me and I didn’t loose signal once it covered the length of my garden and through to my living room, meaning I could watch TV! Great for the price, it does what it says on the tin.
Only used it a few time, but am impressed with the unit so far
Would of given 5 stars, but the buttons feal a little cheap, and I worry they might they might leak moisture into the uni
Excellent thermometer. I am now able to keep an eye on both the ambient temperature of the smoker/bbq and the internal temperature of the meat from the comfort of my sofa. It should be noted that the ambient probe, if placed near the meat, gives a more accurate reading than the lid top thermometer of the bbq.
Tried out with my new Weber Smokey Mountain today and it’s pretty good. Not overly robust and build quality isn’t superb but it does what it needs to do and should last me quite a while. Great support from the supplier and support video as well which is a nice touch.
Great little gadget. Takes the guess work out of bbq smoking. Reasonabley priced and was delivered earlier than expected. Means I no longer have to keep removing the lid as it monitors both smoker and meat temperatures at the same time.
I have used it a couple of times and it’s easy to use and the wireless range is excellent, I tested the probes for accuracy with my thermopen and all probes agreed each one was correct and showed the same temperature.
There’s not a lot else you can say, good price, accurate, easy to use and with great range, just what I wanted, hopefully I won’t need to take them up on the new probes guarantee if mine stop working as it would be a hassle, but it’s good to know they will stand by there produc
I bought this because my son in the United Staes has one and recommended it. Its very easy to set up and seems accurate as far as I can tell. Its good to know your food is thoroughly cooked without being overcooked. I recommend this.
I bought this as a birthday gift for my son who indicated this is what he wanted, we had a very prompt delivery and it is everything as described, he is very happy with this product and after his first test run using it he can thoroughly recommend this 100%.
As I haven’t used this myself I can’t give any further details but I am sure if there were any niggles or downsides he would have told me
Very early stage of ownership but all seems great. The device is compact but well made, it looks robust and seems very accurate, covers the distance promise when moving away from the source and is loud enough that you can hears alarms going off from around the garden. The after sales promise sounds good and fingers crossed I never need to find out but it is good to know there is a back up team.
The fact it has the two probes makes gauging the temperature in the BBQ and the temperature of the meat etc separately very easy and means there is no guesswork at all when meat needs to reach a specific temperature.
Used very often. As i like to smoke and BBQ good food I have used this type of product on a regular basis. The issue is people are impressed and I end up giving sets away. Easy simple way to make sure good meat does not get over cooked.
Only used once but was great having the two temperature and the range is really good. After about 4 hrs of smoking a brisket the meat thermometer kept disappearing and after resetting the unit it would come back. So not sure if faulty or somthing else
Very accurate piece of equipment. Slightly complicated instructions but equipment works well. Pit probe failed and the company replaced the item within days, excellent service. Can not recommend thermos pro highly enough.
Again, unfortunately, the food probe failed however after informing the company they replaced it, almost by return post. Incredibly good customer service and would recommend this company and this product very highly (and NO, I do not own shares or belong to ThermoPro in any way!)
Fantastic service.
Great product. Has every function needed and works really well. Easy to use all of the functions after 1 read through of the instructions and probably won’t need to refer to them again. Fairly solid build which should last many years, and with a lifetime warranty on the probes of they ever give false readings I fail to see why you woulent buy this over other similar probes. Well worth the money.
The product is built well and works just as I needed it to! Managed to slow cook a lamb on the bbq for 5.5 hours and couldn’t have done it without this. Easy to clean and would highly recommend
Fantastic product which I don’t think can be beaten in this price range. Both probes give very accurate temperature readings and the range the connection is held is longer than you would ever need.
The alarm functions for minimum and maximum temperatures is amazing, enabling you to keep the BBQ temperature constant and to know exactly when your meat is done.
The seller is also an incredible asset to Amazon. Had an issue that was dealt with quickly and more thank satisfactorily.
All in all, one very happy custome
Great product, maybe its the wall on the house I live in but the range doesn’t really to 300ft. Besides that easy to set up and a lot more accurate than the one I have on my smoke
Excellent piece of kit and easy to use on my Kamado, just started raining, no problem, monitoring grill and food temperature from my lounge. Update on this review 25 Aug 2018. I have had occasion to contact the company for a replacement probe. I have to say their customer service is nothing short of OUTSTANDING, immediate response with resolution of the problem to my complete satisfaction. They clearly care greatly for their customers, very refreshing
I bought this in December after buying a smoker which I have not yet used. First impressions were promising. It looks and feels good and robust. As an engineer the first thing I did was to check it against a certified laboratory mercury thermometer and the results were excellent, as claimed in the specification.
I used it over the Christmas period to record the internal temperature of a large stuffed turkey (as well as my oven) and it helped to predict when to put on all the rest of the meal, also proving my timing had to be adjusted because the cheap thermostats they put in modern ovens are not very accurate.
I have used it many times since. I don’t like overcooked meat and odd shaped cuts are difficult to time accurately. This probe has allowed me to take the meat out of the oven at my optimum point and let it rest while finishing everything else. It is certainly the best probe I have had, although a bit more expensive than some.
I can’t wait to use it in the Spring in my new smoker.
( I should add that I bought this with my own money and have never contacted the company that markets them)
It is also very nice to sit in my armchair and follow what is going on in the kitchen!
Good value for money
Two probes and separate readings for grill and food temps
Accuratye- tested against other devices and manual thermometer
Alarm for temperature range v useful for overnight or long smokes
Sometimes loses connection or displays random numbers setting alarm off- a bit annoying if it wakes you during an overnight smoke
The wire stand for the grill unit is poorly designed- does not enable you to stand the unit up properly. Same for clip stand on main unit.
Instructions could be clearer- e.g. setting the temperature you have to press the mode button?
I have a kamado. Knowing temperature without hovering over it or trawling back and forth every 5 minutes to check the vents are right for low and slow was a bit of a hassle and that it is then holding to temp. Over 3+ hours risked me wearing a path into the floor / patio.
This paired easily. And transmits without any problem across the 10 m from patio to front room. So I can check temperature in range.
I’ve only used the main bbq temp probe and no limits settings as yet. I’m sure they would work, but dangling the main bbq probe through the top vents was fast and has worked for me.
Results on bbq have been good. Won’t say it’s only down to this, but I would say that this should have been my first add obviously purchase.
So very happy with it. Will report back on reliability as that will be important.
Has fast become as essential as the Thermapen thermometer I also have when using my Kamado Joe cooker when cooking slow roasts.
The reason being is that the lower vent on the cooker needs very little and subtle adjustment which can have huge and sudden differences in the temperature of the cooker. For this reason I was up and down like a yoyo as I was constantly checking that the cooker was maintaining the desired temperature for slow roasting. NOT NOW!
The ThermoPro TP-08 is the best one to go for if you have a Kamado as you get the internal temperature of the oven as well as the meat.
It will sound an alarm if it gets out of the range you set. You can also gauge much better when the meat will be ready, hence coordinate the cooking of the extras at a better time so all the food is ready at the same time.
It also highlights that the reading from the cooker itself (it has a built in thermometer) is to be used as a guideline only.
The temperature reading from the TP-08 is also very accurate as it matches the Thermapen, and the Thermapen has a calibration certificate of accuracy included with it.
So I am very pleased with this tool and it was not priced too high. If there is any criticism, it is a bit ‘plasticky’.
But the instructions are good and it works well. I highly recommend
I haven’t used the alarm settings yet as I’m new to “slow and low” smoking and I struggle with temp sometimes.
Like other people have said – it isn’t obvious which side of the device each thermometer is supposed to plug into (or if it matters) so check out the picture on the box.
Range is great – I had it upstairs and on the other side of the house to the garden and still got signal.
Cables are nice and thick metal so I’m not so concerned about damaging them when I close the lid too hard.
I’ve got a variety of food thermometers, and added this one to my collection to use with my BGE.
I’ve found it to be accurate and easy to use. The alarms are great and vital for overnight cooks.

This is an initial review on just how the unit works. I’ve only had it a day so I can’t comment on longevity.
Functionality wise the unit is great. You can set high and low alarms for the BBQ or smoker temp and a high temp alarm for the food probe. Range seems good; from one side of the house to the other. Time will tell if it lasts, but it seems well made, maybe just a bit ‘plasticy’.
So far great value for money!
I bought this after seeing it offered on an Amazon deal with a discount. I already have the Maverick ET-732 which this seems to be directly competing with and I have to say as far as I can tell this is just as good as the more established brand. The protective outer casing is a really nice touch and the probes seem solid and well constructed. I recently used this alongside other thermometers at a BBQ competition and I’m very pleased with how it performed. Very happy that I took the risk!
Really like the ThermoPro though I have not had chance to use it very much yet. In that I am looking to do much more smoking of food as I just love smoked food, I think the ThermoPro should tick all the boxes for me and take much of the guess work out. I may add more when I have used it a little more, may be then I can give it the 5th star!
This unit works straight out of the box and is so easy to use.
Takes all the hastle out of having to continually check temperature of food either in the smoker or the domestic oven. The wireless remote version is well worth the extra spend.
Really pleased with the thermometer, however, the barbecue sensor has stopped working and because I bought it in May the return option is no longer available and I don’t seem to have the option to contact the seller. it is now only a single probe thermometer. . .
Works OK so far. Build quality not the greatest, but it is made in China. Temp Probes work fine and seem to give accurate readings. Range of remote unit appears to be about 15 metres. Not managed to get the ‘alarm’ settings to work yet, but that may be operator error!
A little update – over two years in now and I totally rely on this to run my Pro Q smoker. One probe in the middle, one in the chicken. It has worked flawlessly and the alarm function is a real life saver – plus you can run a timer at the same time.
Used this for my BBQ smoker, and worked a treat. One probe in the meat, the other on the grill held by the very useful clip provided. Only one very minor improvement would be adding a 1 and 2 to the case to show which probe goes in which socket.
Easy to use and really accurate readings from both probes. I would definitely recommend this thermometer for anyone who is into smoking meat on a bbq smoker. You can just sit the unit next to the smoker and go sit somewhere else (away from the smoke) and watch the readings from both probes. You can also set target temperature’s for both probes so you know when your meat is at the required temperature as well as a timer. A great bit of kit and a must for anyone who is serious about bbq/smoking meat.
Have used it a month (both in a BBQ grill and in a wood smoker). Works great. Simple to set up, robust (they say the base is weatherproof – so far it has withstood rain), range is excellent. Price is reasonable. Wonderful that it gives you readings for both the meat and the grill/smoker. Has improved the end quality of the smoked/grilled meat significantly at the same time increasing my efficiency (no need to constantly be running to the grill/smoker). What could be better? If it lasts me a year, then I will give it 5 stars. Karlis
Recently bought a Weber with the view to try my hand at smoking (low & slow) different cuts of meat. Key to success smoke of what can b an expensive cut of meat is BBQ temp and food temp. This little gadget is perfect. Come with TWO probe one for BBQ which is fitted to the grill rack the second into the food. Honestly really simple to use. Come with loads of features like temp alarms timers etc, which I haven’t even began to explore. Out the box it s ready to go. My Weber did not come with Dome temp gauge and to honest – the money to buy one of those as opposed to this was a no brainer – yes little more expensive but remember you get TWO Probes and you measure Grill temp not Weber Dome Temp, grill temp in my view is better. And the monitor is mobile – take it with you so you can constantly keep watch of temps
What I did not like
Manual is not well written at all – to take advantage of the other feature quickly is not clear
This is NOT a product issue but did find it fiddly poking probes through top vent with the Weber
Overall I very happy with this item – does what it say on the ti
Excellent thermometer! Not issues synchronizing the transmitter and receiver, or the hi-low limits for the temperature of the bbq or the foood temperature.
First time I used it, I got quite some heavy rain and the transmitter looks like it can withstand way more than that.
first attempt with a pork roast was problematic but mainly to do with the regular opening of the bbq to baste the meat – typically this would have the alarms screaming incessantly at me!
last weekend I used them again, this time to smoke a pork shoulder low’n’slow. What a joy. Had full confidence in the probes giving an accurate read out of both the grill and meat temperature and could track the meat’s progress whilst chilling in the sunshine with a nice cold beer in my hand! Alarm issues resolved with a simple press of a button!
In a few more uses I hope to ditch the instruction manual. My only gripe would be the claims of 300yd radio coverage. I tried a few times to leave the bbq to join my family in the gardens and lost signal every time. There are no buildings in the way and quite certain the distance was less than 300 yds. Otherwise a great and extremely well priced produc
I did not fully believe it would do what it said “on the box”, but it does! I was able to track both the internal temperature of the meat and the heat of the BBQ from a considerable distance. Excellent product. Also great for the oven.
ThermoPro TP-08 Remote Digital Wireless Kitchen Cooking Thermometer – Dual Probe for BBQ, Smoker, Grill, Oven, Meat – Monitors Food From 300 Feet Away
Update:
Haven’t wrote a one star review for this product as the BBQ sensor was faulty, the company sent me a new thermometer our straight away. Very impressive. It works brilliantly and I am very impressed with the after sale customer service.
The BBQ Probe reads above 400f all the time. I’ve tried to reset it but nothing. As I need the BBQ probe for smoking it’s ruined what looks like a good product.
What a fabulous piece of kit. I bought it to replace a faulty temperature probe. With this you can check your oven temperature and also the internal temperature of your meat simultaneously. My first use with the ThermoPro produced one of the most perfectly roasted joints of pork I have ever cooked. All my guests made comment. I just wish I could work out how the clip, that holds the probe for the oven temperature, can clip to my oven shelves.
The instructions for using / setting temperatures were not so easy to figure out. In the end we got it going.
Packaging was sufficient. I have used the item once and so far it works as expected.
Now we’ve got that out the way, I can tell you that I am 100% satisfied with the device. I bought this to keep an eye on the BBQ grill temperatures and meat that I have smoking (brisket in this case). The wireless range for this is really impressive, the temperatures poll every 5 seconds or so, you can be confident that you’re getting an accurate reading all the time.
The most useful thing is setting the minimum and maximum temperatures for the grill, and once it gets out of those ranges it’ll set off an alarm for you to jump out of bed and tend the meat. The alarm isn’t too jarring or loud, but it’ll certainly alert you if you’re a few rooms away.
The TP 07 only has one probe and I thought that the next model up would be more useful to me having the oven temp probe aswell, but it is harder to get along with in my opinion. The TP 07 one has pre set easy selected programs depending on the meat you are cooking and rare/med/well done etc. It’s changes colour from blue to green when near done and red when finished. Really good feature. The TP 08 does not seem to change colour, or I could be programming it wrong but I can’t work it out from the instructions. It also doesn’t have pre sets so you have to google or refer to manual so that you can enter the correct temp for your meat if you don’t already know. It just seems to be trying to cram too many features into the same unit but lacks features that the TP 07 has. If I had known I would have stuck with the TP 07 as its much more user friendly.
Wireless worked well all the way down the garden and into the house, I could go back to bed and keep an eye on the temp! Nice!
