Sticking a thermometer into your food will give you a foolproof way of knowing when it is “done,” however if you are impatient and keep checking all the time, your grill will lose heat. Enter the wireless thermometer. One or two probes are interested into the meat and a wire from each is strung out through the side of the grill to a small transmitter. The wire is designed to withstand the heat of the grill, but make sure not to get the transponder too close. The transponder then sends the actual internal temperature(s) to a second device that you can carry around with you.</span></p> <h2>Recommendation: <span class="split_category"><span class="reviewbody">Maverick Remote Check</span></span></h2> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=as2&path=ASIN/B00009IMAY&tag=bobbysbest00-20&camp=1789&creative=9325" target="_blank"></a><span class="reviewbody">I have to say that I was a little skeptical about how well this would work when I received the Remote Check for father’s day last year. However, I was amazed at how easy it was to use and how useful it was. I have much better confidence now in cooking larger pieces of meat and with “indirect grilling” where you cook the food at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. Once I have the Remote Check set up and set the desired temperature, I don’t even go near the grill until I hit the target temperature. On several occasions, it has also saved me from overcooking my meal because my “gut instinct” was way off. This is the ultimate gift for anyone that enjoys grilling. You won’t be disappointed.</span></p> <h2 class="devils">Devil's Advocate:</h2> <p><span class="reviewbody">If the majority of your grilling is with thin pieces of meat at high heat (i.e. burgers, dogs, boneless chicken breasts), then you don’t really need a thermometer, yet alone a wireless one as it would take more time to set-up than its worth. Most direct cooking is only 5-10 minutes per side and its easier to get a sense for when the meat it cooked. A thermometer is really better for something that will be on the grill for a half hour or more and/or that is more than 1.5 inches thick i.e. a roast, half chicken, etc.</span></p> </td> <td width="210" valign="top" class="product_cell_right_padding"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" class="sendtofriend"><img src="/img/mail.png" alt="View Another Picture" width="16" height="16" vspace="2" border="0" align="absmiddle" class="icon_middle" /> <a href="javascript:;" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.bobbysbest.com/email-to-friend.html','emailtofriend','width=485,height=400')">Send this page to a friend</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><img src="img/product-cap-top.gif" alt="Where to Buy" title="Where to Buy" width="260" height="25" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" class="buynow"><strong>Buy The Maverick Remote Check at:</strong><br /> <img src="/images/clear.gif" width="6" height="6" /><br /> <table width="200" border="0"> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004SZ10?ie=UTF8&tag=bobbysbest00-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00004SZ10" target="_blank" rel"nofollow"><img src="images/amazon-sm.gif" width="112" height="27" border="0" /></a></td> <td><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=qNbuFYzVn3E&offerid=57189.467091571&type=10&subid=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://cdn.overstock.com/img/mxc/NH_101808_Default_logo.gif" width="103" height="26" border="0" /></a></td> </tr> </table> <br /> <hr size="1" color="#CCCCCC" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" class="buynow"><strong>See More Styles & Prices:</strong>  <style type="text/css" media="all">#PopShop7022 table.pspsWrapper {margin:0 auto;border-collapse:collapse;width:250px;} #PopShop7022 td{vertical-align:top;padding:0;} #PopShop7022 a,#PopShop7022 td{font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;color:#333333;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-align:left;} #PopShop7022 a{color:#000099;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;} #PopShop7022 a img {border:none;max-width:70px;max-height:70px;width: expression(this.width > 70 ? 70 : true);} #PopShop7022 p {margin:0;padding:3px;line-height:100%;} #PopShop7022 td.pspsCell,#PopShop7022 td .pspsCell {background:#ffffff} #PopShop7022 .pspsCell{background:#ffffff;border:0px none #CC6600;width:250px;padding:0;background-color:#fff;}#PopShop7022 .pspsMain{padding:0 0 10px 10px;float:right;text-align:center;} #PopShop7022 .buy_button {padding:5px 4px;display:block;margin-top:7px;color:#212121;background-color:#cccccc;} #PopShop7022 .pspsPager{text-align:center;padding:0px;}#PopShop7022 .pspsPager a,#PopShop7022 .pspsPager span{font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;padding:2px;line-height:200%;border:0px none #CC6600;}#PopShop7022 .pspsPager .pspsCurrentPage{background-color:#CC6600;color:#000;}#PopShop7022 .pspsPager .pspsInactivePage{color:#aaa;}a#pspsFoot7022{display:none;}.pspsFoot{font-size:10px;text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;}.pspsFoot a{color:#666;}</style> <div id="PopShop7022"> <table class="pspsWrapper"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table cellspacing="0" style="margin:0 auto;"> <tr> <td class="pspsCell" style="width:250px"> <div class="pspsMain" style="width:70px;margin:0 auto;"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r.popshops.com/sp/7022/19010150/maverick-2-probe-wireless-bbq-oven-thermometer"><img src="http://images.overstock.com/f/102/3117/8h/www.overstock.com/images/products/T930868.jpg" alt="Maverick Remote Check Wireless Thermometer" /></a> </div> <p class="pspsText"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r.popshops.com/sp/7022/19010150/maverick-2-probe-wireless-bbq-oven-thermometer">Maverick Remote Check Wireless Thermometer</a></p> <p class="pspsText">$38.95</p> <p class="pspsText">Merchant: Overstock.com, Inc.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="pspsCell" style="width:250px"> <div class="pspsMain" style="width:70px;margin:0 auto;"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r.popshops.com/sp/7022/13766755/maverick-industries-inc-redi-check-remote-cooking-thermometer-and-timer"><img src="http://www.cooking.com/images/products/shprodde/131322.jpg" alt="Maverick Redi-Check " /></a> </div> <p class="pspsText"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r.popshops.com/sp/7022/13766755/maverick-industries-inc-redi-check-remote-cooking-thermometer-and-timer">Maverick Redi-Check<br/></a></p> <p class="pspsText">$39.95</p> <p class="pspsText">Merchant: Cooking.com</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="pspsCell" style="width:250px"> <div class="pspsMain" style="width:70px;margin:0 auto;"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://r.popshops.com/sp/7022/13763725/maverick-industries-inc-remote-bbq-voice-alert-thermometer"><img src="http://www.cooking.com/images/products/shprodde/131462.jpg" alt="Maverick Industries, Inc.
