Smoke® Remote BBQ Alarm Thermometer

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

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.

The price is $89.

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.

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.

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.
