The Verdict.

8.7/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

The pitmaster's pick. 1,500 ft of real radio range, IP65 build, 1,000°F-safe — the right thermometer for cooks running smokers far from the house.

The Gavler Verdict

Precision Engineering

Long-Range RFX

A proprietary 433 MHz RFX radio link reaches far beyond Bluetooth, sending probe data to the RFX Gateway across long line-of-sight distances.

Internal And Ambient

The wireless probe reads both internal meat temperature and ambient cooking-chamber heat for full monitoring of grills and smokers.

Rechargeable Probe

The fully wireless probe recharges in its charger and runs long enough to cover extended low-and-slow cooks on one charge.
