Just received my newest and inexpensive model Maverick ET-733 model.

I hope to use it soon and it looks promising with the hybrid replaceable thermometers.

Check them out I received this for $49.99 online through AMAZON by DBROTH they range from $69.99 - $100+ elsewhere. You will get a 20.00 discount there.

Includes 9 game meat temps, hi and lo temp for smoker and 300 feet of cordless temperature alerts!

My next smoke will be Salmon so I will wait for some larger meats of course.    

-Enjoy ladies and gents!
 
You can't go wrong with the Maverick.  I'm on my second one.  I love it.   I think the first one got a little to wet one day.... :-)

I pretty much just use the heat side of mine now a days.  Its to much hassle to  use the meat probe.  I use a USDA probe that I can wipe with  rubbing alcohol  before I use it every time.  Plus, I can check all the meat on different levels. 

As far as range, I've never had any problems.   Our kitchen is about 75ft. away, I just sit it in the window sill and it does fine.   You'll love it.

HEADS UP
I'm not gonna bash anyone yet because it's only been a couple days but the 49.99 maverick I ordered from DBROTH showed up to my door step with smoke all over the probe, yes I said probe cause it only came with one, and to go one step further there was still nasty sticky old bbq sauce on the unit. I obviously am not thrilled with what I got but I'm also a little upset that I can't get a reply. Talked to another guy who ordered from the same vendor and got a brand new maverick so maybe I'm the exception but I just figured people should know there is that chance. I did clean it up and and works but it cost me another 20 to get a probe so I would have been better off just ensuring I got a new one from a reputable source. Maybe they will contact me soon and fix the situation but as of now my email has gone 3 days with no response.

Interesting. I bought one from them as well.

I don't think it was used, but it did have a probe problem. Maverick is sending me 2 new probes.

I wonder if this guy is selling returns as new? Mine seems brand new.

Maverick didn't even ask me where it was purchased or for a receipt, but just when it was purchased. Gotta love those guys!
 
Little update, the sellar did finally get back to me requesting my order number so hopefully I'll be receiving a new one. I ordered another probe since the box I got only had the one used one but having an extra probe on hand won't be all bad. I'm kinda optimistic now that this might get fixed.
 
Well guys, I have run mine through several smokes and nothing but success. If I get replacement probes...I guarantee they will be the 6 footers.

Love it, but thinking of buying the igrill with 4 probes. $200 but can find for $50 when they decide to throw a sale.
