Oh wow.

Looks like the kit is $208. For that kind of money I think I would just go ahead and get a controller. for a little more (or even less if you go with a simple controller).Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

I was so hoping this was a wireless two-probe thermometer/alarm, to replace my POS Maverick 732. Alas, it is not.
However, if I can set the audio alarm to 100 dB, I could leave it next to my Egg and just leave the window open. Hmmm.
@SmokeyPitt is right, however, for that many clams I could get a controller and not worry about alarms through the night._____________"The reason I go out with young men is because men my age or older — well, now they’re all dead."

Just checked it out on the website......pretty cool. Hopefully the next step is a wireless sender unit. $15 baby monitor from WalMart will work, but I'd rather see the temp rising or falling before I heard the alarm.
As long as it's easier to program than the Mav 733, it should be a hit. I haven't had any trouble with mine, but it is a PIA to program. I wish you could skip all the preset meat temps and just set your own.
Either way, still a lot cheaper to go the temp controller route and not even worry about watching it.

DCS-930L D-Link wi-fi at about $30 will allow you to see the readouts. Kind of a CyberBubba unit.
Actually it's not that crazy. I have several cameras that we use when we're on vacation. I've placed my Maverick in front of one of them when I had to leave the house. No alarms or temp control, but it allows you to use a smart phone to see if the egg is perking along okay.

Same. If it had wireless, I'd pull the trigger right away. My maverick died on one side after not too many uses and it was protected from the moisture.

@Ragtop99 ... call Maverick. Even though the warranty says 90 days, if your story is good enough, they'll sometimes help you out. If they don't cover it, then they will most likely be able to sell you a new transmitter for about $20 plus shipping. Or, watch for a good sale on the 732 or 733 (temp probes are interchangeable) and you'll end up with extra probes.
