Smoke remote
Item arrived on time easy to set up , did a quick calibration and everything checked out good. Use while smoking a pork butt 16 + hour smoke. After checking temps with multiple thermostats the smoke was accurate. Only thing I with is that the remote came with a belt clip instead of a ledger I not much of person to hang things around my neck ,, but not a deal breaker

i have used the thermoworks smoke twice now, and i do like it. as i suspected, there are discrepancies between smoke readings and the traeger probe readings - not a huge amount, but enough to question the traeger readings. the traeger app receives data over wifi, smoke does not. you have to be careful of relying on the app data as it is necessary to refresh fairly often, particularly as temp approaches target. there is no refresh button on the app, so you really have to close and reopen - we just dont need that potential error margin.

Reliable if taken care of
After 4 years one of the channels does not keep accurate temps. I use it for ambient temp in the smoker and will get wildly inaccurate readings unless I reboot it a couple of times during the cook.

To be fair I leave it under the smoker cover 24/7, so maybe the change in outside temperature in central Texas has gotten to it. It's on sale now for half off so I'll get a replacement and try to keep it inside when not in use.

Good thermometer
We have had the Smoke a few years and thought it was time to write a review. It had worked great until recently when the temperature was jumping around. We had to use another thermometer to check the pork shoulder and to make sure the temperature was correct. We went back and calibrated to see if that would fix the issue but it did not. Thinking about buying another but not sure that is a good idea.

Awesome
My second one. Works great, accurate, doesn't drop the connection. My only complaint is that the receiver doesn't have magnets on it, I put a couple of self adhesive magnets on it and problem solved.

Why did you choose this?

I like being able to monitor both the product and the chamber temperature on one unit.

Good

Friend recommended it

The Smoke specs show Operating Range 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C). I live in MN and winters are getting cold here. Can I use it outside when it is below 32°F?

Yes, you can. However, we recommend that you don't leave it outside between cooks.

Can this be used in an oven as well as a gas grill and a smoker?

It sure can, although you need to use caution when grilling so you don't expose the probes to too much heat via flare up. Here's an article that should help:

https://blog.thermoworks.com/bbq-grilling/grilling-with-thermometers-probe-safety/

How quick does it read a meat temp? I am going between this and the ONE, but love to smoke too. Would be great if this will work for both.

Actually, you need both types of thermometers, because they have very different functions. A leave-in thermometer (such as Smoke) is designed to track temperatures over an extended period of time with moderate-heat cooking methods such as smoking, oven-roasting, deep-frying, home brewing, and Sous Vide.

For example, if you are using Smoke to monitor a roast as it cooks, start by inserting the Pro-Series meat probe’s tip into the thermal center of the meat (the coolest spot) and set the thermometer to the desired pull temperature. Once this target temperature is reached, the alarm will sound.Next, use an instant-read thermometer (such as a Thermapen ONE) to double-check the temperature in multiple spots to make sure that there aren’t any undercooked areas. It’s fairly common to discover that you didn’t get the initial probe placement exactly right. After all, it can be difficult to determine the exact thermal center of a large, raw piece of meat. If you discover any undercooked areas, move the probe and continue the cook.

This cycle (monitoring with a leave-in thermometer and double-checking with an instant-read thermometer) continues until you are certain the meat is truly ready to pull from the heat.To answer your first question: The Pro-Series meat probe that comes with Smoke reads temperatures in approximately 3-5 seconds.

Here's a great article that discusses the differences between instant-read and leave-in thermometers and why you need both types:

http://blog2.thermoworks.com/2017/07/kind-thermometer-need/

I'm mostly going to do oven cooking. Must I use both probes if I only have one meat and I don't care about tracking the oven temp?

No, you don't need to use both probes. You can use one probe on the Smoker without the other one plugged in. On the side of the Smoke with no probe, turn the probe's alarm off by pressing the ON/OFF button on the front. If the alarm starts beeping, press any button (such as one of the UP/DOWN buttons) and the beeping will stop.

will the new wifi app give me the capability to leave the house and track temps far away from my home ? or is this limited to 300' again from my phone.

Yes, you sure can! Gateway connects Smoke to the Internet via Wi-Fi. You will install an app on your mobile device and that app will relay the information to you. You can track temperatures anywhere you take your mobile device - no matter how far away you go.

Can u connect more than just the 2 probes to it?

No, you can't. Smoke accepts two probes. If you need a 4-probe thermometer, you'll want to look at Signals, Smoke X4, or ThermaQ 2.

https://www.thermoworks.com/Signals

https://www.thermoworks.com/smokex

https://www.thermoworks.com/thermaq2

How much does the smoke gateway cost?

The price is $89.

Where do I place the base unit in my smoker?

It has a strong magnet on the back. I connect it to the outside of the pellet bin on my campchef smoker, that way it is far enough away from the heat to be safe and still work great.

Could the gateway be used simultaneously with the Smoke's current receiver or will there be a conflict involved if utilizing both interfaces? Also, (if known) how intuitive would the app be regarding features such as data refresh rate, graphs, history, and personalizing names of probe source?

Yes, you may use both the Smoke's Radio Frequency (RF) Receiver and Gateway (which connects to the mobile device app via Wi-Fi) at the same time. The ThermoWorks app is very intuitive. The data refreshes one time per minute. The app includes graphs, history, and personalization of the probe source's name.

So what's the difference between this and the ThermaQ WiFi 2channel alarm unit?

Here are the differences between Smoke and ThermaQ WiFi:

- Smoke uses Pro-Series® Probes with thermistor type sensors. ThermaQ WiFi and ThermaQ Blue ar the most accurate and rugged BBQ thermometer available. It uses Type K thermocouple probes which are known for high accuracy and durability.

- There are thousands of Type K probe options available for use with ThermaQ WiFi. There are a limited number of Pro-Series probe options available to Smoke users.

- Both Smoke and ThermaQ WiFi feature two channels with high and low alarms and continuous Min/Max displays for each channel.

- Smoke transmits data wirelessly via radio frequency up to 300 feet line-of-sight. With the aid of Gateway, Smoke transmits data to your smart device via a Wi-Fi connection.
