I own a Yoder YS640S Pellet Smoker with built-in Fireboard control AND a Fireboard 1 standalone unit. For me, the Fireboard Spark is an excellent tool that integrates seamlessly with my other units and the Fireboard app to give me complete temperature coverage. It would be great as a standalone, but is EXCELLENT as part of the Fireboard system!

@R0NxBURGUNDY Год назад

I think to justify the Spark you’d need to really want the leave-in probe. I use it frequently to just make sure my pellet grill is getting the right temps on long cooks. Great video, and I get why you did it the way you did, but the spark is so much more than an instant read that it’s hard to classify it as just that. The phone app is incredible and the interconnectivity to a main Fireboard unit make it an amazing piece of tech.

@waynecole1918 Год назад

Thermapen One - Winner hands down! And if your budget can't really handle the C-note cost, well the POP is an excellent buy at $35. bucks!

@TheBarbecueLab Год назад

Yeah, I can't believe the value of the ThermoPop 2 for $35, and the Thermapen One is having such great holiday sales right now, it's the best time to pick one up. Thanks for taking the time to comment Wayne!

@ivanblack2270 Год назад

I have a thermapen one and had a thermapen MK4, an excellent thermometer I upgraded due to the 3 second read time to 1 second excellent thermometer. Also, thermoworks is always running sales on them. Just subscribe to their website they will alert you on their sales. The Fireboard is nice as well. The magnet and type c changing and lithium battery is nice as well. Fireboard is also a great temperature controller. Also, I subscribe and thank you for great review it was needed.

@kaivonmortazavi8656 7 месяцев назад

Interesting and entertaining segment. I enjoyed your multi-test method vs just testing in boiling water or ice bath. I think your tests really demonstrates that all the probes in the test were accurate and would need the needs of 99.999% of people shopping for a digital instant read thermometer - the cheapest is 100% fine. No one watching these blogs cooks anything where a 0.5F or 1F variation or 1 .7 seconds vs. 2 seconds makes one biit of a difference. Where differences come in maybe the feature differences such as lefty vs righty or needing to attach a probe etc. Great segment. Thanks.

@curtisrogers4190 Год назад

Suprise suprise, the two most expensive were the top two. Personally I am not into spending $100 for an instant read thermometer and I don't think you could go wrong with any you tested. Like everything else in life it is personal prefernce and personal budget. Thanks for giving us lots of solid options.

@TheBarbecueLab Год назад

Certainly lots of options out there, glad it was helpful.

@jameshobbs Год назад

My Thermapen MK3 is still going strong after a decade and reads within .5C of my new Thermapen One (a gift), though a tiny bit slower. I've had cheaper units die during my ownership of the MK3. My takeaway? It may cost more initially, but it's worth it. Accuracy, longevity, reliability and ease of use make it a better deal than cheaper devices I've tried.

@TheBarbecueLab Год назад

I'm with you there James. I had my first instant read thermometer given to me for Christmas or a birthday, but by the next Christmas, it wasn't working well and wasn't reliable. Haven't had my original Thermapen die yet, and it's been years.

@brandon_cave Год назад

I'd be curious where the ThermaPen IR would rank within this list, and if you have any cons on the unit. I don't have one but I am considering it. As an all-around the cooking areas unit, I would think it would rank pretty high and maybe higher than the Spark at about the same price. Of course, that is subjective if you needed the probe, but if you are running a griddle that TP IR unit seems super handy.

@swanoflove6833 3 месяца назад

all i want, is a meat thermometer that DOESNT fall apart after only 5 uses! every thermometer ive had breaks so fast no matter how gentle and careful i am cleaning and storing, i need something made out of titanium haha

@TheBarbecueLab 3 месяца назад

I’ve only had one thermometer break on me in 5 years of testing, and that was when I was cleaning it. I was cleaning the probe, and the metal probe just pulled right off the end. I sent it back postage prepaid to the manufacturer and they fixed it. Although, if there was a titanium instant read, I’d love to test that.

@ryandotchapman3391 Год назад

I’ve been eyeing the magnetic silicone sleeve for my Thermapen One to help with that category.

@TheBarbecueLab Год назад

I haven't played with the magnetic sleeve yet, but I do love the idea of being able to stick it to the side of the grill...

@spydergkh6337 7 месяцев назад

Love the glow in the dark magnetic sleeve!! Keeps my Thermapen handy inside on the fridge for indoor use, and I attach it to one of my other Weber's when smoking on my WSM!! Handy! But; I never attach it to the dome of the Weber that I'm currently cooking on! Lol!

What about small pieces for kebob and those getting over food phobia from post surgery? Hypersensitive stomach went through range after range and overcooked is just as painful to eat for me ( gastritis) as uner which we never do in our house. How can we see tender withoutgetting a hockey puck on grill pans, foremams, woks and i used to cook on them all till the gallbladder surgery destroyed my confidence ...would a wired probe the digital models, be best for cubed pieces? Thanks. Hoping to crack the perfect grilled chicken.

@BPRescue Месяц назад

I've only had the TP620 about a week, however I am cooking on the Blackstone nightly. So far I am having mixed results. It does help me make a better steak/chicken, however I find myself watching and waiting for the final temp after inserting the thermometer. The claim is 2-3 seconds, but I believe it is more like 6 or 8. I know, still better than old school analog, however I lose confidence since I can watch it climb until it finally stops 6-8 seconds later, even longer. I do like the large digital reader and it works well until you get that angle where reflection voids it. Seems like an unreasonable complaint on the surface, but when you are trying to position thermometer and holding for 5 or more seconds over a 36" griddle, it can be annoying. I paid $29, so while I think it is par for the course at that price point, the normal price of $50 is not even close. So, while I probably will keep it, I imagine my frustration me to search for a better primary. So, save money where it makes sense; I am not sure this is it...

@spydergkh6337 7 месяцев назад

I used to. I do love my Thermapens. But; I am finished with the Smoke-X & Billows. In the past year or so, a few minutes into a smoke, the main unit's display would would black out, and while not always affect the cook (since I could verify temps on the remote receiver, lately, the fan on channel 4 was affected to where, the temperature setting would set, but then change rendering the Billows inoperable! After sending everything back to Thermoworks for eval, they said nothing was wrong. The batteries in the main unit were dead. That was BS! Receiving everything back the problem not only persisted, it got worse. I'm done with them I'm now seriously the Fireboard products. 👍

@puddytat62 10 месяцев назад

Not sure who needs a $100 plus thermometer who is just a home cook. Everyone likes the spark but here in Canada it’s $200. Laughable . There is a thermaworks model that has a 10 year warranty and is IP65 rated plus supposedly one second readout and rotating screen. Here in cdn it’s $80 so much cheaper states side. I’d say anyone wanting a good one just wait till cyber Monday. Mid summer these things are jacked up in price. Get a cheap for now and keep for backup

@planecrazyish Год назад

@carvedwood1953 6 месяцев назад

Thermapen is insane to me. And I cook and smoke a LOT. For the average cook, you shouldn't need a 100 dollar instant read. For the cook that does more, you probably still don't need that because you should likely have a decent leave in probe. Makes no sense to me.

Thermopens are the worst, good luck changing the battery on the One. $100 bucks, and you have to use a coin to replace the cheap plastic battery cover which is easy to strip.
