    @blasting ... I think it's that ugly regionalism rearing it's head again.  See, @Ladeback69 lives in one of those flyover states ... Chubbs, lives in one of those Southern states.  Look at where the preponderance of posters place their posteriors ... yep, Southern state folks. 
    Possible. But I also think the fact Chubbs posted hours before could have something to do with it. I know that's why I ended up on the Thermoworks site filling my cart.

    I just can't justify this with the Thermopop. I'll wait the extra second or two. These guys canibalized their own product. If the pop wasn't so great I would get one of these for sure. 
    I'm not sure they really canibalized their own product. Their profit margin on the pop may be better than the pen.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Great price for sure. Between this and the color closeouts that have been occurring fairly frequently lately, I wonder if they have a Thermapen v2 in the works?
    Aren't they already on v3 or something already? My Thermapens are many years old and they use those damn, not always easy to find little 12v batteries. I would guess when they changed to a different battery type a while back that was v2 (or maybe just v1.2). Then the splashproof, then the backlit.

    But it could be that they do have a complete redesign coming out.

    My guess is that since there is a lot more competition these days they may be feeling  the hit to their sales at their normal prices.

    I bought a couple of the Lavatools Javelin thermos a few months ago and have been very satisfied with them, especially considering they are only $25 each.

    Interesting, I posted about this hours ago and got no hits, but it is a great deal.  
    Guess it is because I posted it a good bit earlier.

    Yeah, you might be right.

    They ship out of Utah if I remember right.  So that might be part of it where you at?

    That would explain it. I had no idea they were so close to home. I'm in Sandy, UT

    Just looked at their website.  American fork.  I'm down in St George.  There are a few other Utah eggers on here as well.

    Okay, you broke me down.  I ordered the darn pen!
    It's not that I'm unhappy with my current thermometer, but I hope to some day attend a cook with one of you fine people and I suspect I will not be allowed in until I show my thermopen at the door.  :lol:

    Haha. The only reason you will be unhappy is that you didn't buy it sooner! =)

    I bought an open box thermopen several years ago, and during the warranty period, it started acting up as if there's a bad connection (broken wire?) such that when swung open, it may or may not work, but if you swing it a little more in either direction, it toggles that state.  I didn't want to be without it, so I never got around to sending it in.

    I'm tempted to spring for an open box backlit model, and then maybe disassemble my old one and see if I can fix it.
