    That would pretty much solve the only thing I don't like about my thermapen.   It would make things easier at night for sure.

    @Alton I understand. I got away with getting two, no way in hell to explain the third one.

    I'm actually much more interested in the TW8060, shown on the same page.  It boasts "professional thermocouples" (marketing, I know) but the crap probes on the Maverick are driving me nuts, I'm ready for something better. 
    Anyone have experience with it?

    Hey @Alton ... If its any difference, here's their return policy.  You'll lose shipping, but if you want it that bad - you have an option!

    Returns:
    Returns for credit are only accepted from the original purchaser and only if the product is purchased direct from ThermoWorks. All warranty claims will be handled by ThermoWorks, regardless of where the item was purchased. In all cases a return authorization number is required. You can get one by calling our toll-free number. Write this number on the outside of the shipping box.

    We do not have a "buy-and-try" allowance policy. It is the responsibility of the customer to determine suitability of a product prior to placing the unit in service.

    Unused products may be returned within 30 days of purchase for a refund, minus shipping charges. All boxes, packaging materials, accessories, manuals and certificates must be in new, re-sellable condition or a fee equal to the cost of the damaged and/or missing item(s) will be deducted from the refunded amount. Be sure to ship in a carton that protects the original item box or package. We suggest you insure the package for the full value. Used or damaged equipment may not be returned for a refund. Credits are not issued until the goods are received and inspected at ThermoWorks. It may take up to two weeks to process credits.

    The request for a return authorization number must be made within 30 calendar days of the purchase and the return shipment must be made promptly after that.

    Note that original shipping charges are not refunded unless the return is a result of our error. If you have ordered correctly and we have shipped the wrong item, we will pay to return the item to ThermoWorks or we will send a delivery service to pickup the item at our expense.

    Items missing or damaged in shipment must be reported within 2 business days of receipt of shipment.

    Did some looking around on the ThermoWorks site; at $59 each their thermocouple probes must be higher quality!   :-O

    I have used their RT600c and like it a lot. Thermapen wasn't backlit, so I didn't see muvch point in upgrading. But I may not be able to hold off any longer! If it only had a timer/alarm it would be absolutely irrestible.

  • For the extra money they want for this, I'll stick with my basic $89 model.

    My wife was not too thrilled with my first 100$ thermopen :-S

    But this one sure is nice!!! Glad to see the upgrade, but can't pull the trigger right now.

    I can't remember where, but one of the bbq forums I haunt has a member whose signature reads something like " my biggest fear is that when I die, my wife will sell all of my toys for what  I told her they cost."

    A couple of years ago, I heard it expressed very well; a parody on the old line "What is a boat?  A boat is a hole in the water into which you dump money!"  "Well, a BGE is a hole in your deck/patio into which you dump lots of money!"

    And love it!
