You can stop in Target and most box stores and buy a Taylor with about a four ft cable for about $15.
Many comp teams have several setting on their cookers.
If a probe goes bad[rarely]you can replace it from Taylor for $5.
I drop,drown,burn the base units and can't remember one going bad.
You can always find the "perfect" one, after you use this one for a few years.
Just my $0.02
