What is the best wireless thermometer to use with the Char-Broil Big Easy?

The electric model comes with a wired thermometer....do not know about wireless. Some infrared give only surface temp and not internal.

The weighted gauge is really easy to use. Bring it up to pressure and a adjust the heat to have the gauge wiggle a few time a minute. Look on the National Center for Home Food Preservation website nchfp.uga.edu/ at the University of Georgia, They have online videos that will show you how to use the weighted gauge and pressure gauge. Great instruction on this site and wonderful recipes. Their canning book So Easy to Preserve is one of the best canning books ever! I like to use the weighted gauge better that the pressure gauge because if the pressure gauge ever breaks don't worry, the weighted won't

Yes, best thermometer you can buy. If you see cooking shows you will see chiefs using one if needed

My Maverick has two temp probes, one for meat and one for the temp of the oven/BBQ. It's been pretty darn accurate, +/- 3 degrees at most.

Temp gauge is useless. Get yourself a Maverick ET-733 long range dual probe thermometer. You can keep an eye on your meat temp as well as the temp inside your smoker from inside the house. It's very accurate. My Smoke Vault temp gauge always says it's around 210-225 inside when in fact it's around 240-275.

Far too long when the fire is hot, IMHO. If you want fast readings, check out the ThermoWorks ThermaPen, which gives highly accurate readings in 3 seconds. Expensive, but worth the cost if you cook a lot, indoors or out. http://amzn.to/1u9F0W5

I purchased the RT600C Super-fast Water-resistant Digital Pocket Thermometer (by ThermoWorks, the same company behind Thermapen) 2 years ago and it's been perfectly fine for my home cooking needs. I primarily use it for checking the doneness of meat: steak (130F), turkey (160F), pork (135F), sausage (150-160F), and fish (130F), which is well within the -40 to 302F range. (The Thermapen range is -58.0 to 572.0F). To check frying oil temperatures, I use a candy thermometer that I leave in the pot that gets up to 400F. The response time of the RT600C is officially 5-6 seconds, but it feels almost immediate to me. I haven't overcooked anything due to waiting 3 more seconds than I might with the Thermapen, whose response time is reportedly 3 seconds. Both the Thermapen and RT600C are water-resistant, but the RT600C is listed as dishwasher-safe too. I haven't tried using the dishwasher, but the RT600C has survived getting thrown into a bowl of water in my sink and regular hand-washing. In my opinion, if you're not cooking anything extremely cold or hot, and 2-3 seconds of wait time is not worth $77, the RT600C is a fine choice.

Instant readout - less than a second. I have had about 4 different grill thermometers in the last 8 years, and this is the best by far.

I have not used a thermometer, but i have used this for deep frying. i bought it exclusively for deep frying outdoors (extension cord not included).works well, i would estimate it gets up to 350 comfortably.

The STC-1000. For the price and functionality you absolutely can't go better. I have one controlling the temperature in my homebrew refrigerator and another for backup (the price was so cheap, I thought for sure it would burn out or stop working, but 1 year and it's still working perfectly). Mine only reads in celsius, but I have a chart right next to it that converts to F so I can easily adjust. It is digital and you can program very specifically the upper and lower ranges and read the current termperature at any time. The temperature probe is very small (compared to a manual knob type I have and paid much more for). It does require some wiring, so it's a little DIY, but there are videos on youtube that show pretty well how to do it. Be sure an watch those before you make your final decision to make sure you're up for a little wiring (I know nothing about electricity or wiring and was able to do it in 30 minutes or so)

My order came in with all I needed to use it in my infrared grill. I would just give Char-Broil a call. I have found these days a lot of companies give great customer service and quickly. If you find less than 5 star customer service you can always return it to Amazon. I have also found that Amazon is pretty quick to replace items that came defective or with missing parts

The probes furnished with the thermometer would not stand up to 392F. I would go with the temperatures listed by Taylor. The instructions on setting the high and low settings and alarm times leave something to be desired. Once you figure out how to set it, the thermometer works very well. I use them on HVAC equipment and recirculating hot water heating systems to measure supply and return temperatures. By checking the temperatures several times a day, I make sure the equipment is operating correctly.

I use the "Hydrofarm MTPRTC Digital Thermostat For Heat Mats". Works pretty well but a bit pricey, here's the link:Jump Start MTPRTC, Digital ETL-Certified Heat Mat Thermostat for Seed Germination, Reptiles and Brewing

This one seems too small. The Presto site discusses canning. A cooker with a pressure gage would let you make sure I got it hot enough.

Not accurate enough to trust a cook to, the food is placed quiet a distance between where thermometer is. I use dual digi thermometer like the Maverick Et-732 Remote Bbq Smoker Thermometer
