Mr. Bar-B-Q Remote Digital Meat Temperature Gauge Review

I bought this several years ago when it was sold under a different name ("Smart BBQ").They've reorganized the buttons slightly, but the remote and sending, or base, units appear to be identical otherwise.

The first couple of times I used it, it worked well, although you've got to be sure there's a "line of sight" between the transmitter (the little stand it sits in) and the gauge.Like so many electronic devices, I got the impression whoever wrote the instructions had never actually seen or used the thermometer.There's no way of knowing from the read-out when it last received a temp reading from the base unit, although at the time it sends a change of temp, it shows a little icon for a radio tower.

Unfortunately, after a couple of uses, the thing became very erratic.One day it would work well, the next day the temperatures it reported were ridiculous--it would, for example, say meat you had just placed on the grill was 350 degrees.I replaced the batteries, to no avail.(There are several batteries, since they're in both the remote and the base.)Some reviews here for other digital thermometers suggested the probe could be faulty, so I tried the probe from another thermometer--it didn't make any difference.

My brother has this kind of device from another manufacturer and says it works well.This one, not so much.
