I think a vast majority here will say without hesitation the Thermapen. I own one and its invaluable. They generally go in the $100 range, but a couple times a year they'll have an open box sale on their website for $60 I think. At whatever price, it's the absolute way to go.LBGE (2012), MiniMax (2014), and too many Eggcessories to list. - Sudbury, Ontario

Thermapen.
I just returned one out of warranty. It didn't work and it was all my fault. I have left it outside for weeks, left it in the rain and dropped it into 400 degree cooking oil.
They charged me $18 and sent me a new one.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here. -
Thermapen, well worth it. I thought the open box price was $70 and the regular price was $90, but I could be wrong.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

+3 on the thermapen. Bought mine on a clearance special. Cost me $63.

I disagree, everyone knows that the orange thermapen is the fastest._________________________________________________________________________________________

Thermapen, 100 bucks, worth every dime.

Thermapen is the only way to go. There are cheaper but the don't hold up as long and are not as fast.
Orange is the best one. -

Thermapen. My wife couldn't believe i paid that much but she uses it daily. Mine's red FYI. Not only fastest but it's also easy to find in a drawer.

dudes- you can not get any faster than flames. Seriously. You people need to get real. Orange? ridiculous. Next @brownie is going to show up out of the blue with his green one. laughable(get the thermapen)Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I have put a lot of research time in this one and I feel a thermapen would be your best solution. )

I would get the best Thermapen...the BGE color!

Thermapen It is the best!

My purple Thermapen was pretty fast, then TCU joined the Big 12 and it got even faster due to better competition.

I have the BGE one and serves my purpose very well.Dave

Thermapen. Just a reminder they will issue a Thermapen with backlit very soon
Also on eBay you can buy refurbished Thermapens from the manufacturer (ETI UK) with warranty and as new. I bought a black one which is known for warp speedDutch EGGhead and proud owner of a Big Green Egg Large, MiniMax and Mini -
thanks, sounds like thermapen is the way to go. My wife is already giving me flack about the price...that's alright i'll make it happen.
-
Just tell her its for her safety, there's is nothing more important than keeping her safe from bad things from under cooked food. This is just a safety thing, you know like a seat belt in a car? Or just be like me and pretend like you have had it for awhile, "oh this old thing?" You know It happens to us, just look in the closet. :-O

I'm really happy I bought the black one then!!Persistence and determination are omnipotent! -
I am thinking of getting the iGrill double probe system as it will also help me for long cooks

The orange Thermapen is most definitely the fastest! Don't make the mistake that I did and buy one of the silicone skins and put it on the orange...it turns it a dull pink....In all seriousness, I do like the silicone skin. I need the Thermapen to last!LBGE with a massive wish listAthens, Ga.
