Introducing the RFX™ MEAT Wireless Probe, a professional-grade tool engineered for precision, extreme durability, and uninterrupted monitoring. Designed for pitmasters, chefs, and home cooks who refuse to compromise on quality, the RFX MEAT probe abandons unreliable Bluetooth limits in favor of a powerful, patent-pending Sub-1 GHz radio frequency. This ensures your signal easily pushes through thick steel smokers, cast-iron Dutch ovens, and heavy commercial ovens without dropping.

Now available in 2 lengths. RFX MEAT Mini is a wireless probe sized for smaller cuts. The 4.0" probe seats fully in chicken breasts, fish, and filets, reads the coldest spot with four real sensors, and tells your phone the moment it's time to pull. Everything you trust about RFX, sized for everything else you cook.

Accuracy in every sensor: Roast, smoke, grill, and fry meats to restaurant-level perfection. Four hidden probe sensors are independently calibrated to find the true thermal center of your cook—and deliver ±0.9°F accuracy between 14 to 212ºF.

Precision you can trace: Each RFX MEAT probe comes with a digital certificate of calibration to certify that your instrument has been tested against international laboratory standards, including those set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Ambient temperatures you can trust with RFX GATEWAY: Competitors’ built-in ambient sensors give inaccurate readings as cold meat acts as a heat sink, pulling heat from the metal probe and skewing the measurement of the ambient sensor by 75°F or more. Even if these sensors were accurate, they're placed in an evaporative cooling zone around the meat. This means your ambient sensor is not reading the accurate temperature of your cooker. Our Pro-Series® Air Probe plugs directly into RFX GATEWAY for precise placement and true ambient temperature measurements.

Next-level durability: RFX MEAT is designed to withstand ambient temperatures up to 1,000°F. It’s also fully waterproof and submersible—use it in the deep fryer or pressure cooker and then toss it straight into the dishwasher for easy cleaning.

Billows® BBQ Temperature Control Fan Kit (with Damper)

Billows® BBQ Temperature Control Fan Kit (with Damper)

Billows is an automatic BBQ control fan that keeps your smoker at a steady target temperature — without constant vent adjustments or fire tending. Paired with a compatible ThermoWorks controller (RFX GATEWAY™, Signals™, Smoke X™, and ThermaQ® 2), Billows regulates airflow into your smoker, increasing or reducing oxygen as needed to maintain consistent heat throughout long cooks.

Once connected, Billows takes over the hard part of low-and-slow cooking. It brings your smoker up to temperature quickly, stabilizes heat with minimal overshoot, and helps recover faster after opening the lid. That control translates to fewer flare-ups and more consistent results over long cooks, whether you’re smoking brisket overnight or running a long weekend rib cook.

Includes Billows Damper which lowers Billows air flow by restricting CFM, has 16 adjustment stops to fine-tune your cook to give greater control over Billows functionality

Reviews

Great wireless thermometer, clunky app

"I tried several different brands of wireless thermometers, and this is by far the best. Great signal strength, accuracy and battery life. The only thing holding it back is the clunky app. It works well enough to use, but it could be improved upon. The Apple Watch app is also completely useless."

— Kurt M. (4/5)

Love the RFX

"I already own 2 thermopens, and a “signals” unit. All of these ThermoWorks products are great. The RFX is a game changer! Easy set up, easy to use and accurate. I’ve already added more probes to my starter kit. I use it at home and when I volunteer to cook for veterans organizations raising money to support our vets! I’m a loyal ThermoWorks customer!!!"

— No L. (5/5)

Great design and engineering

"Just received and tested. The title says it all. 2.4MHz WiFi channel is an excellent idea to maximize transmission distance and penetration. My only negative comment is that the little Lifesaver candies don’t have any flavor. And they’re chewy. But it was a cute thought."

— Elliot (5/5)

Replaced my ThermaQ Blue with

"Replaced my ThermaQ Blue with the RFX system as I needed probes for cooking meat on the rotisserie. Works very well. I will also use additional probes for smoking a brisket at the same time as a chicken is on the rotisserie. Also, the probes work well for calibrating our oven. Just insert the probe into a sponge and place in a covered ceramic casserole dish filled halfway with water."

— Dan W. (5/5)

Phenomenal thermometers for asymmetric cooking.

"These were a game changer for me doing large sessions on the smoker with different cuts going at the same time. Now I dont have to constantly open the door to probe everything. The app is clean and concise. Being able to set temp alarms for each individual probe along with the air temp probe takes alot of stress out of long overnight cooks. Custom alarms wake me up in the event of a flame out so I can fix it ASAP. No more waking up to a stone cold smoker with undercooked meat."

— Jake (5/5)

IT'S THE PRODUCT I WAS WAITING FOR

"I've had my RFX 3 probe system for several years now & it's the best product I've used bar none! I use it cooking everything on the smoker, grill or in the oven. I've been a smoker enthusiast for 40 years and have trusted the quality of ThermoWorks for years now. The recent purchase of the RFX 1 probe and the RFX 2 probe kits are birthday / Christmas gifts for my kids who got the smoking bug from me. Gave 'em Thermopen Ones when it came out. I think I bought 5 of them for family and friends. The RFX MEAT probes will make great gifts! Now about the NANO!"

— Bill O. (5/5)

Nest probes I've used.

"I purchased these back in June for a long overnight smoke on several briskets. I've had wired probes and other wireless probes by several other manufacturers. The RFX probes are option packed, stay connected and are accurate as all get out. I don't use them every time I cook but when I do I have no trouble with connecting. The probes are charged by a AAA battery, in the base and the batteries last a long time. The gateway is rechargeable and has held a full charge for several months of non use. The gateway and probe charging bases have magnets are store conveniently on the side of my refrigerator."

— Butch (5/5)

PERFECT MINI SIZE

"The mini RFX probe is perfect for smaller cuts of meat. You don’t have to worry about burning out the probe or it coming out the other side. Great for Filet and Tri-tip. It also reports temp to the app really quick. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."

— Dally (5/5)

The range is incredible; it

"The range is incredible; it easily maintains a connection from several dozen meters away, even through a metal smokehouse. It’s a real shame, though, that it doesn’t measure the ambient temperature like some other sensors, such as the Meater."

— Marcin K. (5/5)

Exactitude

"I used my RFX gateway for the first time. Smoked four chicken legs on a Kamado at 225 followed by a reverse sear. It took less than 25 minutes from the first charcoal ignition to a stable Kamado temp that didn’t vary over 1.5 degrees during 45 minutes of low temp cooking. My probe which looked way too long for the thigh in which it was inserted worked perfectly as checked with my thermopen. Those four temperature points found the middle despise the fact that the tip was near the end of the thigh. And this is my first cook. I can only imagine how pleased I’ll be when I refine things with experience."

— Harold M. (5/5)

Q&A

Can the probes be vacuum sealed while inserted in meat for use in sous vide cooking?
RFX MEAT™ probes can be inserted into your meat and vacuum-sealed directly inside the pouch for sous vide cooking. The probe is rated IP69K fully waterproof and submersible, making it completely safe for continuous submersion in a water bath.
Is the mini particularly good for sous vide??
The real advantage to RFX MEAT Mini is the shorter overall length and minimum immersion depth requirement which allows it to be used in smaller cuts of meat and stay protected. This applies to all types of cooking. Depending on what type of cuts you are cooking sous vide, you may find the smaller size more advantageous.
I have four regular probes, will a mini be usable along with them?
Yes, RFX MEAT Mini will connect to your existing gateway and work alongside your existing RFX devices in the ThermoWorks app.
What does the probe come with?
When you purchase the standalone RFX MEAT™ Wireless Probe, it includes: RFX MEAT™ Wireless Probe Single-probe magnetic Charging Block High-temp silicone probe rings (for color coding) 1x AAA Battery (pre-installed in the charging block) Quick Start Instruction Guide Please note that the RFX MEAT probe requires an RFX GATEWAY™ to connect to Wi-Fi and transmit data to the ThermoWorks App. If this is your first RFX device, we recommend purchasing the RFX™ Starter Kit, which includes both the RFX MEAT probe and the RFX GATEWAY.
If purchasing a two probe unit, how many probes with the two probe unit support? *can i add probes, If i want to add probes in future?
You can absolutely add more RFX MEAT probes to your system at any time. The RFX GATEWAY that comes with the 2-probe kit will support any RFX device, and you can add up to 50 probes to that one RFX GATEWAY.
