    Link isn't working?

    But I like mine, a necessity for the Blackstone pizza oven.  
    Also, it's nice to know temps of your cast iron and steel for searing.  

    For eggin, it would fall into the "nice to have" category.

    Never heard of that brand. Doesn't mean it's bad, it just means I haven't heard if it. I have this one from thermoworks $39. Love it.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Look like it only goes up to 716* F. I also have the same Thermoworks one that Carolina Q linked to. It looks like it is on sale right now for $39 ($30 off). If you want to do pizza, go buy the Thermoworks one, goes up to 1022*. If you don't do pizza, don't bother with one at all. That's the only time I use mine.

    I do make pizza but usually at about 550.

    I also have the thermoworks one and have found lots of use for it.  Pizza is the main one on the egg, but it is also useful to check for leaks around windows and any other surface in your house.  Definitely worth the $39.
