Smoking a chuck roast today and, as usual, monitoring the cook with my ThermoWorks SIgnals. I’ve been using the Signals for more than a year now, and I can’t say enough good things about this unit. Full disclosure: I have no affiliation with ThermoWorks except for being a VERY satisfied user of their products.
I have long-since abandoned the RecTeq app and probes as I could never get it to connect reliably and stay connected; especially on holidays and weekends. The TW Signals app connects every time and has never dropped out. With 4 ports on the Signals, I can monitor grill temp and 3 different pieces of protein. I’ve checked the probe calibration with both ice-water bath and boiling water, and they are spot on.
There are a bunch of temperature monitoring devices on the market and I’ve tried a number of them, but nothing has approached the accuracy and reliability of the ThermoWorks units. I have several of them, but the most used are the Signals and ThermaPen One. I consider them essential cooking tools. YMMV
I have recently ordered a Combustion Inc. wireless probe unit for use on rotisserie cooks, but have not yet received it. Hopefully, it will be as good as the TW units have been. Had TW offered a wireless probe, I most likely would have opted for that, but they don’t—despite my urging them to do so.
