if you have an academy store nearby, i bought 2 "old smokey" brand thermometers there. i paid like $9+tax each for them. work like a charm, and accurate out of the package. i got the 2¼" diameter ones. see the pic to see them. hth
I know this a little off topic as far as the application goes, but for accuracy's sake.
I like Taylor® products for reliability and warranty. That's who I'm going with. Maverick's® okay, but they have probe troubles, so I'm going with Taylor. I bought a leave in thermometer yesterday at Mobile Fixture for $9.00. I'll use it to calibrated the cheaper one's I own. Only down side is the range only goes to 185°F. For now, it's okay for beef and chicken. As for pork, I'm going to get Taylor® instant read just for that.
The one I'm interested is a new one they have come out with. I'll have to find a dealer to get it.
