right at $15. Don't know if they accept Paypal or not.
Good luck with whichever you get.

PayPal has a new browser plug-in that lets you pay with PayPal on any site, even ones that do not take PayPal.

Just search "plug-in" on the PayPal site and you'll find it.

Interesting Teleking, thank you. What I gather is that your not one for using the digital probes for monitoring meat temp. you prefer the analog style for that ... which I completely understand!

I think though that I forgot to mention I'm not going to be using it to read actual meat temps, I also have a Analog Thermometer for that. I only want to use the digital probe to monitor grate temps. While I understand they can fail, I also feel you have to have something in their monitoring those temps because those silly little thermometer that come screwed onto the lid of smokers don't really cut it.

Thanks.

Actually, I got my Tel-tru installed in the lid just above grate height and it is spot on. Service is fantastic and they build them to order. It arrived UPS on the exact date that they quoted me.

I have to admit, my maverick after 5 uses crapped out on me Sad

I am sending it back for a replacement.

It seems some folks have great luck with these, or horrible. I really liked mine, and being a complete noobie, it was great. But I have to admit I am trying to decide on my next thermo set up wich will probably be analog.

I think with all the talk about the digital gauges, How about just 2 or 3 analog thermometors stuffed in the meat and left there while cooking. They are cheaper and dont crap out. If this is a good choice which analog therms. whould you all suggest.

I like the LED on that thing. I don't have one with that. Mine is a Weber brand (I'm sure it's badge engineered)

I tried a Maverick digital duel probe. Model ET-7. While it was accurate it will stop receiving a signal from the thermo, and has very short range. I have used it twice. In fact i got a brisket on the smoker right now and it has totally stopped receiving a signal. POS!!!

Am looking for a better unit, just not sure what to waste my money on next.
