RFX MEAT™ Wireless Probe
Unbeatable 1,500 ft line-of-sight range
Cook for up to 52 hours on a 10-minute charge
RFX outperforms shaky Bluetooth connections
Automatically stores cooking data in the cloud
Suitable for direct flame grilling
Nothing Works like ThermoWorks
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.
What the pros are saying
“I’ve been waiting two years for this. RFX will not only supplant the existing products but create a new category of reliability that doesn’t really exist.”
—Jeremy Yoder, culinary mastermind behind the “Mad Scientist BBQ” YouTube channel
“Now that’s technology you can count on.”
—Tuffy Stone, legendary pitmaster, restaurateur, and BBQ Hall of Famer

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)
