Fairly new to my MBGE & doing my 2nd slow & low butt while also working from home.  Getting to be a bit annoying running outside every hour to check dome temp.  I know there are wireless thermos that can monitor dome, grid temp, and have multiple probes for meat.  What's everyone's favorite?  Does anyone use the iPhone app?  

My 6 y.o. daughter named my MBGE Shrek, because it is big, green & it burps.

    It's all up to your budget, but the maverick wireless thermometer is fine with me. I splurged and got the one with the BGE stamp just for the name.

    If your budget allows, I would look at the Stoker.

    Depending upon your distance needs and budget, consider this:

    used to use the maverick but now during low and slows where i dont want to go outside during the cook i just rotate the egg so i can see the dome therm from the window
    :D if you turn the therm so the needle points straight up at temp you can see it from along ways away

    Got my Maverick 732 a few weeks ago and wish I had bought it sooner. I used to set my alarm for every 2 hours on overnight cooks just to go see the egg was stable most of the time. Now I can get a great nights sleep and only need to check if something goes wrong. I also work from home and can't see my deck from my office.

    Just used my Maverick 732 this past weekend for the first time. It was handy and worked great.

    I'm a big fan of my Mav ET-732.

    Very dependable.

    Thanks guys, bought the Mav 732.  The others look nice but I'm on a budget...

    I set my egg and go to bed. When I wake up the temp is always within 25 deg or so of when I left it. I would like a remote thermometer but for me I do not see the need.

    @Shrek Good choice. I considered a temp controller bit it felt too much like cheating.

    For the $s the Maverick is decent.

    Just heard today a model ET-733 is expected to be released in late October and have a larger display on the remote and allow for setting alarms up or down.
