Amazon.com Review
Smoking meat and fish properly can take days. So, rather than going out to the smoker to check the temperature time and time again, simply install a RediChek Remote Wireless Smoker Thermometer and rest at ease. This handy thermometer monitors smoker air temperature and food temperature from up to 100 feet away. And, if the temperature drops too low or jumps too high, the RediChek alarm goes off, so there are no spoiled batches-just certainty that every batch of smoked salmon is perfection. The RediChek can also be used with an oven or grill for peace of mind while baking, barbecuing, and broiling and for fewer trips to the kitchen. Best of all, the RediChek is wireless, so installation is a snap. Your purchase includes four AAA batteries for out-of-box use. --Brian Olson

 The Professor of Thermos July 28, 2010

This little device has opened the world of grilling for all to see. The first rule of the Knights of the Round Grills is Temp, Temp, Temp...and this one is awesome.
With both dome and meat probes, it gives you real time info via a wireless connection to the base transmitter. It has max temp alarms for both meat and dome and a timer.
You will learn more about your grill temp in 1 session of grilling than you have to date.
This turns grilling into tactical application of fire to achieve perfect meat.
I give this little number an 'All of the stars in the sky' review, but they only gave me 5, so I am going with that.
Buy. It. Now.

 Not sure it's giving me accurate temps July 25, 2010
L. WOS (Michigan USA)
Used this unit for the first time today in my brand new Masterbuilt 30" smoker. I like the fact I can sit in my livingroom and monitor both the temp of the smoker and the internal temp of the food with just a glance at the remote receiver. My problem is with the temps. My Masterbuilt says it's 130 degrees, but my Redi-Check says it's 140 or higher. Now maybe I was placing it in the wrong spot inside the smoker. I hung it dead center. I noticed the probe for the Masterbuilt is up top. The smoked salmon seemed to turn out fine from what I tasted.
Anyway, I'm currently testing the unit in my oven. I set the oven temp to 170. The Redi Check registered 202. when I placed it dead center of the oven. Then I placed the probe up top, like the probe that's in the oven and after 25 minutes it finally read 170. Next I removed the probe and let it fall to 150. Then I increased the oven temp to 180 and when the oven sounded it had reached it, placed the probe on the top rack. The redi-check climbed until it show 204 and held. After approx 20 minutes it started to dropping and now reads to 186. So, with every minute it drops 1 degree. So I dont know what to tell you.
I'm going to play with the oven temps over the next few hours to see what the deal is. I cant be chasing Masterbuilt digital temps readouts and this unit's reading if it's that much off. Tomorrow I'm going up to the a Kitchen supply place and get another thermometer. Either the Smoker is off, My Oven is off or this Probe is off. Somethings not right.
I hope the "internal" food probe was accurate, as with smoking fish, you MUST get it the flesh hot enough internally to kill off parasites, yet not dry it out by overcooking/smoking it.
Tomorrow I'm trying half a chicken and will test the meat with this probe and a different one I've used for years for turkey and roasts.
Overall, I like the unit. I just hope the temps it's showing me are accurate.
Good Unit-Read Here For A Reception Hack July 23, 2010

This is a good unit. I use it with a Bubba Keg Grill. However it will work with any type of grill where it'd important to know the temp of the product being cooked and also the temp of the cooking area. If the reception distance is not as far as you'd like there is a very easy and cheap modification you can make. This is the link to it: [...]
Excellent Thermo! July 19, 2010

This has 2 probes one for the food and one for the grate. It even comes with a grate holder that clips onto your grill. Only complaint I have is the location of the on/off switch on the transmitter. The remote has decent range for me. I usually BBQ in my driveway and have no problems with it in my basement. Its a bit tricky to program it for your temps. So you really need to read the manual that comes with it. I use it for my Weber One Touch Gold and is a must for smoking.
 No customer support July 14, 2010
Royce Palmer (Kirbyville, TX, US)
The first time I used my unit it worked well for the first six hours. Then it started showing "HHH" in the pit probe display. Restarting didn't help.
I have called techinical support and did not get an answer. Next I emailed them and have not received a reply in four days.
I would call and see if they answer their phones and emai them and see if they return your email before I buy one odf these units.
I gave them one star because that was as low as I could go.
