Thermoworks BlueTherm Duo & Probes Kit
« on: July 30, 2014, 10:41:35 AM »
I just got an email advert about this item, thought I'd pass the info along. For you guys into this sort of thing. It's actually more expensive than an Auber ($239 on sale), but again, some of you guys are into remote monitoring. It will remotely show temps on phones and tablets and uses Type K thermocouple probes. Interesting stuff, but not my style.

They make great stuff.  However, being blue tooth really limits it's range.

Thermoworks is known for good stuff, but this particular product is in no way comparable to the Auber; it is a thermometer, NOT a P.I.D. controller.  The two probes read box and meat temps (like the Maverick dual-probe thermos), the it does not control the element on the smoker.  Just clarifying, for those that think a more expensive thermometer will do the job of the Auber....it will not.

I have thermowork dual probe thermometer. I bought it before the auber. The quality is top notch and far better. The cost is almost 3x more expensive than the maverick. I switched because i went thru two smoker probes. The high heat probes are great. I use the meat probe for cooking meats not the auber. I found the IT is off by a couple of degrees on the auber then the thermoworks. I also have the thermopen..
