ThermoWorks RFX | Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer | Wi-Fi & Radio Frequency | Stronger Signal Than Bluetooth | Meat Probe for Use in Smoker, Grill, BBQ, Oven - 2-Probe Kit

I had the 3 probe kit from IQ and it worked fine. The problem was that you had to keep the main unit right next to the grill and it didn’t work if you wrapped the food in aluminum foil. This product creates its own wi-fi network and can be used from anywhere over the internet. The probes are also thinner, so they’re easier to use and most importantly, it transmits through foil and lasts much longer. In addition, the probes measure and transmit the temperatures from multiple points on the probe so you get a much more precise picture of how the items are cooking. Granted, this item is expensive and will probably be overkill for most cooks, but if you really want to level up your smoking and/or grilling, this device will DEFINITELY get it done!

Has amazing reach with the WiFi portion and the portion works seamlessly as well! I really like everything about these probes. I bought the set that had two probes about a week before thanksgiving and right after I turned around and bought the set of 4 probes!! Love the 1000° limit so I’m not freaking out when I open my grill and sometimes the flames have flared up and I think “Great there goes my investment in wireless probes (from another brand)”! This is a must buy if you cook indoors or outdoors and want perfect control of the temperature of your food.

Set the product up the first time and worked well. Never worked again. Restarted, removed app and restarted. Nothing. Insisted connection to WiFi wasn't availabe, but router showed it was connected. Probe showed connection, but only read temperature from initial removal from charger. So, 72.7 reading for hours in a 350 oven. Worthless. I thought ThermoWorks was a good company, but this product is an embarrassment.

Update - I was able to charge the gateway but the gateway needs to turn on while it’s charging as I was trying to charge it while it was turned off. For the probe I unpaired and repaired it and it’s now working as it should. The charge last a long time so I never needed to charge the gateway until I received the low battery message on the app. The probes are very accurate with the cook temps and very easy to use. The AAA batteries they give for the probe docks are 3rd party and don’t last very long. I would replace those with name brand that will last longer but other then I love this product. Had this item 90 days and the gateway will not charge and one of the probes stop charging also. Changed the batteries for the probe chargers and still one probe will not charge.

Editing my initial review. I contacted ThermoWorks about this and they were fantastic to work with. They acknowledged this should not have happened and said since I was within the 30 day return window with Amazon then I needed to go through them first and that if I had issues with them to call them right back. Amazon is sending me a new one. I wouldn’t gave it 5 stars but using it for the first time today smoking a chuck roast. I used both probes and after 3 1/2 hrs I got an alert that one of the probe’s battery was almost dead already. The other probe still shows full power so not sure what’s going on. Other than that I’m impressed with the operation of it and the app being able to track it from anywhere in the house.

TL;DR - It's everything you expect from their sensors, but actually wireless. The set-up was a breeze and I could quickly get a cook underway after it was delivered. I am looking forward to buying more probes to fully replace my existing "wireless" solution. *Pros - Charged on arrival. Clean the probe and get ready to cook. - App configuration was simple. - Quality materials. Nothing hollow or flimsy about the wireless base, the sensor, or the charger for the probe. - Probe case is also the charger. I'm not charging then storing; it's all-in-one. - The base and the probe case have magnetic backs. This keeps them out of drawers and off the limited surface space while grilling/cooking. - Everything just works together without being an expert. - Range is amazing *Cons The only con that I can see is that some may not want to use batteries for the probes charging base. Personally, I'd hate to have 3 or 4 probe bases hooked to cables.. I appreciate the single battery in each probe base to handle all the charging.

We bought the RFX meat thermometer because we wanted accurate and continuous temperature monitoring while smoking meat on our smoker. We've realized over years of smoking meat that temperature really does matter in making an amazing finished product! In the past, we have had problems with bluetooth thermometers losing connection so we were intrigued by this thermometer's wifi capabilities. The set-up was easy. Once we got it connected to our wifi (note, only works with 2.4 gHz wifi signal), we used it to smoke a brisket on our Recteq Smoker. The Recteq has a very thick metal lid and would always block the bluetooth signal on other thermometers. However, the RFX thermometer connected quickly and gave a continuous temperature read throughout the entire cook time. We used other probes to test the temperature accuracy and the temperature was accurate throughout the whole smoking process. We did notice that it had a hard time emitting a signal through foil once it was wrapped. We will use parchment in the future. It was nice to monitor the temperature from the app! We have been really happy with this thermometer and highly recommend it!

Worked great at first two uses. Bought this and couple more probes. I expected much more. The probes signal is terrible when inside a traeger even though the RFX unit is less than 5 ft away. Stupid me I left the RFX unit magnet attached to the traeger and the plastic housing melted, that’s on me. But the unit signal doesn’t reach whatsoever. Plus three of the probes battery life die within in minutes.

Nice system. Seems quite accurate. Great multi-probe function. The software could use with some improvements such as clear battery remaining being prominently shown. Some predictive analytics and notifications when food cooking is complete. Also charger need some sort of light indicator to show its charging and when charging is complete without the need to power on equipment and launch the app.

These work in a very average way - the controller has to be right next to them to get signal, which is not what they advertise. But the real issue is the app - it's borderline unusable. No alerts, no persistent notifications, constant crashes, irregular readings etc. I ended up getting a Fireboard which is a little better

RFX Meat Probe advertises a 50 hr battery life. I got about 3-4. Recharged till it read 100% on the app, tried again. Terrible probe battery life. Love the temp accuracy though lol. Back to the competition

Disappointed. Did lots of research before ordering. Looking for a high end wireless probe. The hype was there for the RFX and the reviews looked well etc. received it. Set it up that was easy, charged it and went to do my first cook with it, the probe died within 3.5hrs, while I was still cooking removed the probe, cleaned it, charged it for half an hour. The led light on the dock stopped blinking indicating fully charged. Out it back in the meat and continued to monitor, probe read 100% battery. 3-4 hours later already down to 20% Not trustworthy if you aren’t around. Was hoping this was the answer over my previous top end meater but looks like I’ll be sticking with the meater till I find something else.
