I picked up a Therma Pen yesterday and had the exact same question. Figured at 1/3 the cost it couldn’t be as good/fast. Kind of glad to here it isn’t. -
Looks like "Mollyshark" has another sale pending :silly:

Call thermoworks, the US Distributor, and ask if they have any referbished instant read thermometiers.
About $45.
If you are looking for a new then contact mollyshark or call Freds BBQ & Guitar both have a small discount from retail of the thermometers.

I purchased the BGE version. It works very well, as long as you want to hold it in the meat for 22-30 seconds while all your hair burns off. I didn't even know about the Thermapen at the time. Two or three pens from Molly later, and life is good. I think BGE kind of shot themselves in the foot by putting their name on an inferior product.

I called thermoworks today and they had three refurbished ones and they are $49 each. Now they only have one, grey I believe because I order two at that price. Person I spoke with said that they have never had a refurbished one returned. And it comes with a 6 month warranty.
Hope this helps. -
Is the BGE Instant read thermometer the same as the thermapen?

I found a site with a video showing and using the BGE IRT.

No it is not. Get the Thermopen distributed by Thermoworks.
