Works great! For basic temperature tracking it's a useful tool.
After years of relying on a combination of my pellet grill's temperature probe and my trusty instant read thermometer, I decided to get into the 21st century and invest in a wireless probe. Not wanting to spend a bunch of money, I saw that this was on sale and I figured that if it didn't work I wouldn't be out too much money.
As I write this, I'm using it. It arrived last night and I went through the setup process. It was SO easy to set up and the app is nice and simple to use. I started my pork butt cook at 7am this morning and the probe has worked flawlessly! I compared the temperature readings to my instant read and they're within a degree of each other, so I know that what it's registering is accurate.
To be honest, this isn't a huge game-changer for me as I've been smoking meat for years and have a process down. But I do like the fact that I can monitor my temperature remotely. I think where it will be the most impactful is in overnight cooks. I won't have to go out to my smoker I'm the middle of the night to check my temps. I can do that from the comfort of my bed!
Though I've only used it once so far, I'm very satisfied with it. It seems to be rugged and made for the long haul. I'm looking forward to future cooks!
Update: I've now done several cooks with the thermometer. My experience with it has been mostly positive. For tracking internal temperature, this probe is very accurate and right in line with my instant read thermometer. My only nit is that the ambient temperature sensor is a little finicky. It is slow to update, and I usually must wait 20-30 minutes for it to report the ambient temperature correctly. Not only that, you have to make sure that the probe depth line is right at the surface of the meat. I found that the margin for error is really slim with this. But other than that, it works great, and the app has made it so easy to track the cooking rate. My Thanksgiving turkey was spot-on this year and the probe helped immensely!
