If you're not familiar with Woot, it's a commercial retail website
that features a single item per day, and sells at a price plus $5
shipping. When they're sold out of an item, it's over and done
for the day.

Today, their item is a wireless cooking thermometer, selling for
$13 plus $5 shipping. I thought that if you're looking to stock
up on them, that this isn't a bad price.

Hey Mary, can you give us a performance report after you
use it? I'm curious about overall reliability and range.

Thanks!

What do you use it for now? I found one awful handy when I first
started, but once I got a sense of things, havent' fealt much of as
need, they come in handy on the odd thing like a turkey or roast of
course.

Crap - I check woot daily and didn't yesterday... (*#&@* oh well...

Use? I use it pretty much anytime I'm roasting/smoking something large.
Makes it a no brainer to determine degree of doneness and gain
consistency in the final outcome.

GREAT SITE - new one Kids Woot also.

The $5.00 shipping is per order not per item.

Cool- I thought it was per item. FWIW, the only thing I've bought
from Woot came in a very sturdy box and was packed in inflatable
pillows, despite being pretty indestructible. I was impressed.

I have purchased quite a bit from Woot and a few things from Kids Woot. I
was only dissatisfied with 1 item for which they gave me a ret=urn
authorization and a credit in reasonable time.

Are you referring to wireless thermometers, or thermometers
in general?

I smoke/grill/q something probably around 350 days out of the year, a
pretty diverse range of stuff, plus I'm supremely lazy. If I can
get away with not having to walk over to the smoker I'm a happy
guy. Typically when I'm running the smoker I'm also cooking
or baking something else in the kitchen at the same time.

I haven't had good experiences with the wireless units, which is why I
was asking about this brand. I found the maverick wireless units to be
too unreliable.

I just got a RediChek wireless remote thermometer and it seemed to
have a significant offset using the probe from a wired thermometer I
have. When I use the new probe in the old thermometer, I get the same
reading (within 2 degrees), but when I had a 250 reading with the old
probe/old thermometer, I would read over 300 witht he old probe/new
thermometer.

I thought that these probes were interchangeable. Does this ring a
bell with anyone?
