If you are talking about an instant read hand held meat thermometer then the Thermopen is by far the best, not cheap, but the best.
For a remote meat and pit thermometer the the Maverick 732 is an excellent unit. It is a new, upgrade from the old 73, also a good unit. -
Thanks, the Maverick 732 seems like the one I need.

I have the Therm0pen and I love it.

I have a thermopen it is very fast and nice. I have stoker control system also. You set the temp you want and put a probe in your meat and it will control the fire and tell you when your food is done.

Thermapen sorry not thermopen

I was checking out the Thermapen but $90 is pretty steep, since I just dropped a small fortune on my Egg. I did find this:
http://www.amazon.com/RT600C-Super-fast-Water-resistant-Digital-Thermometer/dp/B002GE2XF8/ref=sr_1_9?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1303418509&sr=1-9
It's also made by Thermoworks and only $25. -
I used a $15 one from WalMart for a long time. The difference is the speed. The Taylor I got at Walmart takes :30 or more to give a true reading. The Thermapen takes a second or two. I guess what I am saying is while saving up for a Thermapen get a cheap one it will do the job. Just know it takes it a bit to give a true reading!

I just ordered a Maverick ET73 off of Amazon for $33. Hopefully it will arrive by Saturday.
