Nothing Works like ThermoWorks
Ambient temperatures you can trust
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.
Multi-device management for businesses
RFX GATEWAY handles 50+ wireless RFX MEAT probes simultaneously, ideal for professional kitchens and large-scale operations. We’ve future-proofed RFX: Your gateway is also compatible with a whole suite of forthcoming ThermoWorks RFX products.
Enhanced cooking control
RFX GATEWAY is fully compatible with Billows®, our smart temperature control fan. This powerful duo allows for precise temperature regulation in smokers and grills, ensuring perfectly cooked meats every time. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to next-level consistency and precision.
Built for tomorrow’s innovations
Your very first RFX GATEWAY is about to become a portal to a whole new world of wireless cooking. We’ve future-proofed RFX so you’ll be able to connect our suite of forthcoming compatible products without buying a whole new system.

How RFX works
Communication flexibility for every cooking scenario.
1. RFX MEAT connects to RFX GATEWAY via patent-pending sub-GHz RFX wireless technology.
2. When connected to Wi-Fi, RFX GATEWAY sends data to our mobile app via ThermoWorks Cloud. Or, cook offline with a direct gateway-to-smartphone Bluetooth connection. (Offline mode coming soon)
