Grill Sentry any good?

I guess I am slow on the uptake, but have only just now seen this digital thermometer. I don't see well and a digital thermometer would be great. Any thoughts. Here is the link: https://www.grillsentry.com/

  • I want to say this was made fun of here recently 
    I was a little afraid to mention it--especially since it is a bit silly looking! But, does it work?
  • Hearing nothing on this particular thermometer, are there any recommendations for a digital dome thermometer?

    I have a 10 year old maverick that is biting the dust.  I actually am interested in this, looks kind of cool, just might work....

    Agree with smbishop about some amount of "coolness factor".  Have some questions though, sent them off to seller.....
    - typical battery life? - battery rechargeable via USB port? - using Android app, can unit toggle between dome and meat probes?

    Received answers back promptly:
       On a single charge, 18 hrs or about   Yes - Recharge or operate with uUSB using standard Android charge cube and cable (not included)  Yes - display on the unit and the APP display toggles between showing the dome temp and showing the probe temp  Money back guarantee if not happy  Thanks   Ken

  • Thanks to all who have responded. As a friend says, as much as we spend on gear for our egg, this doesn't seem out of line price wise.

    I'm not a fan of Bluetooth anything. 
    Bluetooth always seems to frustrate me with all the pairing issues I experience.
    The only reason it exists is that it's a low power communications standard.
  • The GrillSentry, a precision outdoor grilling instrument, has these strengths:

    1) mounts on the dome, saving valuable grill table surface space 
    2) rain proof, weather proof rugged design
    3) welded thermocouple based dome temp readings >700degF - good for pizza 
    4) accurate thermistor based food probe , 0.125” small diameter, watch your chicken, pork, fish, beef internal temps during cooking to the perfect serving temp

    Made in USA

    I am the owner and will return your money if not happy
