There are but not from Maverick. You would have to look at professional/industrial precision thermometers. Some guys have had success with covering the junction with Shrink Tubing...JJ
I ALWAYS run my smoker with water in the pan & don't seem to have any problems with the Mav's.
I have tel-tru therms as well & they both seem to be about the same.
I'm on my second set. I ruined my first set by tugging them out of meat by the cable. I think the sealant/adhesive gets soft and allows the cable to pull out of the shell. My second set is working/lasting a lot better.
I just bought a new Mav to replace the one I have had for around 8 years. One of the probes is off by 30*. It has a 90 day warranty.. still waiting on Mav to get back with me. Sent them an email two days ago.
