BGE Remote Thermometer

Getting the hang of the BGE thing I have another question about it that I will put in another discussion. But for this one has anyone mastered the BGE Remote Thermometer? I thought I was pretty technically savvy but this thing may be a bit too much for me. Getting the settings to "FOOD", and then changing the TASTE to RARE or WELL DONE and then its communication has been more than frustrating. The directions are pitiful or as has been said, "The toughest job in Japan is writing instructions that Americans can follow".

Can't help with the BGE remote, but Thermoworks Smoke may still be on sale. Very intuitive, haven't had to open the manual yet. I spent enough on remote thermos to buy a couple Smokes before finally wising up.

Invest in a Smoke or Fireboard. I haven't used the Fireboard, but hear good things about it. I love my smoke.

Has anyone used a Lavatools CL1?
I'm thinking of getting one of these. -
You need to make sure the correct unit is turned on first. I think it’s the remote unit turned on first followed by the monitoring unit. It is opposite of what you would think. Once it’s linked up , it works great. Also, I take the batteries out and turn them around cuz they tend to drain if left in. It’s like it doesn’t turn off. Doesn’t it read out temps? Mine does. I don’t use those charts. They tend to be quite a bit off out of designed caution.

@pgprescott I thought I was the only one who had to turn the batteries around! Haha. Yeah not the most intuitive but not too bad once you get the hang of it. Though I just bought a smobot so...might not need the Maverick anymore.Located Middle GA

OK it sounds like nobody likes this thing. In Egg Euphoria I had purchased it. So I have $75 down the drain. I hear good things about the more expensive doohickies.

Didn't know BGE sold such a device, but then, I haven't been to a dealer since I bought my egg in 2009. I assume it's a green Maverick? I have an 8 year old Mav that I didn't need and almost never use. Also have a DigiQ that I used to use for overnite cooks. Now that I've started doing "lo n slo" cooks at 320° (from 250), I don't even use that any more. Start the cook at 9-10 AM and it's done by dinner time. No toys required.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
