This is posted every couple years,so I thought new folks might benefit from it.
Many of us recommend to go to the box stores,for your first therm.
Cheap,dependable,and you can always buy the exotics later,if you wish.
Here is a post from Juggy,a comp cook,on Ray Basso's forum.

Yo to all, I know I do a lot of whining and complaining on this forum, so this post might be out of character for me......
I have two Taylor digital thermometers that were two years old, I believe they are the #1850 models, now referred to as the #1840 model. Both of the probes went bad. I called their consumer hot-line and asked about purchasing new probes. They informed me that the probes had a ten year warranty and they would replace them for free, with no shipping charges. Five days later, the UPS delivered them to my door.
During my conversation with the company representative, I was also informed that if I needed additional probes, they would cost me only $5.oo, shipping included. Not a bad deal!
It sure is nice to see a company stand behind their product.
Lager,
Juggy
