ThermoPro TempSpike Plus 600ft Wireless Meat Thermometer with 2 Color-Coded Probes, Bluetooth Meat Thermometer Wireless with LCD-Enhanced Booster for Food Cooking Grill Smoker

AN ABSOLUTELY AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT THAT PERFORMS FLAWLESSLY, AND IS BUILT QUITE QUITE STURDY
This is the newest generation of the ThermoPro TempSpike Plus temperature probes and I found the features ability and software to be excellent.My particular application is barbeque, although I will tell you that probes themselves readily transferred to use in the kitchen such as when we boil chicken for our dog’s foodI think what is most important if you’re considering purchasing something like this is that :A) The signal will actually go through the lid or the wall of your grill andB) That the signal will actually carry for a good distance without issuesI found both of these criteria to be well satisfied by these probes!!Additionally, the software feature that comes with these probes and the design of the homebase as a relay station were just excellent!! Everything works like it should, intuitive easy to understand and easy to useLastly, I’d like to add a comment about a personal experience that I’m embarrassed to talk about, but in terms of a customer or another person considering purchasing one of these, I think you’ll be very interested to hear. I own a Pitboss Titan pellet grill and it functions wonderfully, gets quite hot. It has three shelves internally to cook food on and I hate to admit it, but like an idiot I wanted to test the probe out cooking vegetables, so I stuck the White probe into a bell pepper and placed it on the upper shelf. No issues there, it tracked the temperature just fine, but if you think of it, a bell pepper has soft skin and yep that’s right, as soon as I reached for the bell pepper, the probe fell out down into the bowels of the grill and it ended up resting on the plate below the grill directly above the fire box. There was no way that I could recover the probe and I know from using my IR gun that the temperature at that point where the window was open, searing meat, the temperature of the flame was almost 800°. The ThermoPro TempSpike Plus itself is rated to a max temp of 572 F, but long story short my probe traced high off scale and I simply assumed it to be a melted worthless mess.The next day, once a grill had cooled down, I retrieved the probe and my first surprise was that it the probe was completely intact and there was no obvious physical damage, melting, et cetera to the probe or the casing tip whatsoever! The pictures I posted are after I pull the probe out of the grill!I kind of figured possibly maybe, I don’t know, it could work? I figured it had gone all night and the battery was probably run down if it even existed any more, so I put it back in the holder, and allow it to charge for about as I recall 6 to 8 hours and GUESS WHAT?!! Lo and behold I was actually holding my phone when the probe came back to life and it tracked perfectly!! Having bought two probes, the Twin TempSpike Plus, I was able to verify this several times over the next couple of days by simply using both probes in parallel together when I was cooking and watched how the temperature tracked – and the probes tracked perfectly in alignment with each other!!I could not be more pleased with these results!! The fault and the stupidity were mine entirely, but the quality of this product saved my bacon and saved me the cost of having to replace the probe!!I would highly recommend the ThermPro TempSpike Plus – and I stated by the twin set!!

Apple Watch app!
This is a nifty addition to our barbecuing and general cooking toolkit.There’s a single probe, but it independently measures both internal and external temperatures of the meat. You insert it fully, and then Bob’s your proverbial uncle. It “Just Works” to communicate with the bright-orange (hard to lose!) base station–even with your barbecue lid closed–which in turn communicates to your phone (and thereby to the Apple Watch if you’re luck enough to have one!).The TempSpike app is easy to use, maybe could be a little slicker in terms of design and discoverability, but its functionality is excellent. Temperature readings seem quite accurate, and our food has come out perfect each time. You can set temperature alarms, both low and high, for both the probe’s sensors. There’s a graphing function (which you must start when you want it) that lets you see trends. There are multiple “profiles” built-in that set target temperatures for you.There are warnings that if you foil-wrap your food for cooking, the probe’s ceramic handle must poke out of the foil so the probe and base station can talk. That makes me curious how a layer of foil will compromise connectivity whereas the barbecue’s lid will not, but whatever.The base station charges via USB-C, and rapidly. The probe resides in clips in a dedicated receptacle in the base station. The clips charge the probe. State-of-charge for both the base station and probe are displayed on the base station’s LCD display as tiny icons.Having nice large temperatures displayed at a glance on the base station is really nice. The base station has a magnet to attach to any (not-hot!) surface.All in all, I’m really happy with this little device.

Probe life
Works great, only issue is the charge on the probe does not last more than 10 to 11 hours. Probe after several hours
