Thermapen is the consensus pick

We carry both the thermopens and these Maverick ones from BGE. I use mine regularly athw and don't find much if any difference between this model and my thermppens. It is also lit and has a convenient temp chart on it.

+1 on the thermapen. I have no idea how I ever cooked without it.

How much is it?   I have the thermopop.  Backlit quick and awesome for $30.  Thermapen is quicker bit a lot more expensive.

It's around the same price as a thermopen. You pay for the speed.

If you have the receipt I highly recommend the Thermapen. You will be hard pressed to find a negative review

@Charger - return that one. If you're okay spending ~$100 then buy the backlit Thermapen. Otherwise, get the thermopop. Solid products from a company with superb customer service.

@Charger @caliking knows his stuff. I have a non backlit Thermapen that I got when I first got an Egg 4 or 5 years ago.  I bought a couple of thermopops intending them to be gifts for friends this Christmas.... I kept them both.  Truly fantastic equipment that will improve your cooking on the egg and in the kitchen.

Backlit Thermopen is the one... SWMBO uses it in the kitchen as much as I do...
