 Is anyone going to the egg fest in Central Florida on November 12th?

 I saw that Thermo works is a sponsor for this event.
 Does that mean they will have a tent set up at the event and have their items available for purchase?  I've been thinking about getting a Thermo pen but would like to see one personally before I drop $100 on one.

    I might drive up for it.  
    The Thermopen is well worth the price.

    Wish I was - too much fall travel already in the schedule.

    No, it means that they donated some thermometers to be giveaways.

     Well I guess that's a good thing but also sucks for people like me that are wanting to buy one but want to actually put hands on one

    Just get the Thermopen well worth the money.......... It's a great eggfest went last year and the venue is awesome. We are trying to figure out if we can make it this year and if so will be cooking. If you have the time don't miss the fest.

    Buy the Thermapen. Very very high quality and feels like you spent $100 when you hold it in your hand. 

    Just bought an Egg?  Here is what you get to look forward to now:

    Plate Setter, FlameBoss 200, Spider, PSWOO-CI, Additional Rig Shelf for dome cooking, Thermapen, iGrill2, Cast Iron, Blackstone, Cooking Accessories for the Blackstone, Cover for the Egg and the Blackstone, shopping for Rub like a fine wine or IPA, and a new fascination with lump and what brand is the best-all to be debated every Friday Night.  Next desires-Joetisceriie, Adjustable Rig, Grillmates, table and more eggs

    If you go to the eggfest I promise you will be able to hold one because most if not all of the cooks will be using one and I'm sure they would be glad to let you check there's out, if I'm there you can check out mine. Having one has been a game changer in my cooking skills the two I have are several years old and still working just fine. The cooks at Eggfest just love to share knowledge with everyone. Where in FL are you? I will be wintering in Okeechobee FL.

    Check out the ThermoPop.
    http://www.thermoworks.com/ThermoPop

    hard to top for the money.

    Also, many cooking and BBQ stores in my area stock Thermoworks products.
    You should have little issue getting your hands on one. Not to mention most places accept returns if you are not happy with the product.


    Thank you,

    Take a ride over to Wassi's Meat Market in Melbourne. They carry the full line. You'll be able to check them out and purchase if you'd like. Might even pick up some stellar proteins while there too,  ;)

    Agree. Feels very solid. And well worth the investment.

    I have a Thermopop and it's also a great tool.

    I have two of their $19 lower end thermos and, they work great.   I agree Wassi's is a great place to visit if you are ever near Melbourne.   They sponsor the Sunshine State Eggfest in the spring if you can make it out there.
