Thermapen Sale

Great minds, I logged in to post it also. $69 is a steal for those, but the sale is only for about a week.

Yep,ya need one for the house,one for the cookoff kit,one for the glove box.

They are like having indoor plumbing,can beer,runnin' water,and sliced bread.

They sure do spoil ya.

Smokin',what about the unit you got with the wired/extension probe?

Is it here on sale?

I guess my boys probably each need the standard one
for Christmas.

The team kept about five around,of different colors.

Hard to remember where you lay them down in the night.

You treat them boys too good!

Well,they're nice to me,until they learn to read the market reports.

Thanks TaktEZ.

Just ordered a red Thermapen. Have a Brookstone remote and now the Thermapen.

Think I'll do my 3rd batch of jerky. After sampling my lastest batch of jerky, my lunch friends are offering to buy the "eye of round" if I'll do all the work to smoke it.

A little OT here (sorry Smokin')

If all the boys are doing is providing the meat and you're cutting, providing the HM cure/seasonings, doing the marinading/cure, & all it takes to smoke the meat - I think I would make a case for keeping 25% for my own personal use.

No, just the regular ones, and I only have three, but the price is good, maybe I need another one... LOL

Is that wired unit much help for reading lots of chicken pieces,etc?

Do you usually just use the standard models?

Maybe the Team Mom needs another in a new spring color?

I love this one for chicken.



It's not so much the wired part, but that I use the smallest probe it has when I'm testing chicken. It doesn't make as big a hole is the regular one. I do use the one in the picture, just below the white tipped one. I bought the coiled cord/extension and it's perfect for chicken.

Thanks much.

I can see an Easter gift comin' for the Team Mom.

I think we're on the same track here.

Just ordered one, and I don't even have my CS smoker yet. Really, I have a problem and this forum is only going to make it worst, but will definitely improve my quality of food and life.

BBQ isn't a Problem, how could you say such a silly thing.

Around our house, my wife calls it an Addiction

OK. I've read what everyone has to say about the Thermapen. I have been using a wireless unit with good results. When needed, I use a stick type to verify readings. Is this thing going to have a "Wow" factor for me? Am I going to wonder what I ever did without it?

The difference is when you use your conventional digital therm (wired or remote) it will take anywhere from 15-30 seconds to get and accurate reading. With the Therma Pen it's instantaneous! you can take multiple readings in the time it takes for the digital therm to get up to temp.

Like Tom once told me, once you use it you'll wonder how you ever got along with out it.

I sulled up at the $99.00 price & waited forever. Grab a couple at the sale price!!!

As Wheelz said, it reads a whole lot quicker than the standard therm. That's a big plus with the electric Cookshacks because it greatly reduces the time you have the door open to make your temp. checks. Also, as Smokin' pointed out, it has a smaller diameter probe. The smaller hole in the meat allows less of the juices to escape.

I am smoking three turkey breasts, three butts and oven cooking three tenderloins in two weeks for my sons rehearsal dinner. After your comments I decided this will be a handy thing to have around.

Thanks one and all.

Just an added thought on the Thermapens.

The co-cook/Team Mom just received her newest Thermapen,as her Easter treat.

The added treat was they included a bag of orange jellybeans,to match the color of the unit.

They'll all look great in an Easter basket.

Tom,

Tell "Mom" if she doesn't love it, I'll take it...

She'says,if you and Ms Smokin' come visit us,she'll make ya gift.

Received mine yesterday. Bag of jellybeans as well. I did notice the pen is a bit different than the one pictured. The probe is different. It doesn't look to be interchangeable with the assortment shown. Still looking forward to using it.

The one pictured isn't the one on sale; Tom has a question about the version I use (which does have the interchangable) unfortunately it's not on sale
