Thermopop vs weber 6492

Ya know, I had the sane dilema last year. I did not want to spend $100 on a thermopen. So I bought a $10 Maverick, always wondering if I did the right thing. Then I purchased a $70 CDN, always wondering if I did the right thing. Then I purchased a $20 BGE which was much better, but still wondered if I did the right thing. Right before Christmas I decided to buy myself a Thermopen, I FINALLY DID THE RIGHT THING! There is no comparison, so don't put it off.

If I never bought the numerous cheapos I would have spent less with thermo pen. I currently have thermo pop and still wish I had thermopen after seeing one in action.LBGE& SBGE———————————————•———————– Pennsylvania / poconos

The problem is not that it's a Weber product you're considering - it's that the product is not actually Weber product. Weber has great manufacturing, great warranty service, and great customer service. That thermometer is likely made overseas and is only branded as Weber. Thermoworks is a quality company, with quality service. Getting the thermapop is a no-brainer.
I have a thermapen and am not terribly impressed with it. I later bought a thermapop, and would have bought only it if it had been available earlier. Most folks who wax poetic about the thermapen never cooked with a quality thermometer before or even to temp, and so the difference is stark.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
I have a ThermoPop and like it, but I was to do over I would get the Thermopen. If its between the ThermoPop and Weber, I would get the ThermoPop. IMHO.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

I have a thermoPop and i love it the 2-5 seconds that it takes to read the internal temp isn't worth the extra $ 100Trenton ON 1 mbge for now

+1 on thermopop. I am a big fan. It's very quick and accurate. Just to note, it has a backlight and rotating temp display. I don't know about the Weber.Dallas, TX

I have used a number of digital thermos. I currently have a Thermopop and a Thermopen. I like them both a lot. I use the thermopen almost exclusively though. I like the ergonomics much more than the thermopop. It also fits in my pocket better.
If I was choosing between the thermopop and weber I would spend the extra $15 and get the thermopop.A bison’s level of aggressiveness, both physical and passive, is legendary. - NPS -

What he said.....SPEND YOUR MONEY WISELY..do it once and you won't regret it..(hey you have outrageously expensive charcoal grill..did you say "why not get a Weber?")

We now have 4 Thermopop's and a Thermapen. My wife kept on stealing the Thermopop so I bought her a couple of more. Good thermometers IMHO1 Large BGE, 1 Mini BGE, 1 Minimax BGE, Original wife and 3 dogs living in the heart of BBQ country in Round Rock Texas.

I know it's tough to justify spending $100 on a T-pen...try and save every dime you can for 1 month and then put it with the $10 for the Weber
Try Amazon and apply for a credit card you get $30 off...plus the $10..you are 1/2 way there
