 BBQ - with no guessing Sep 18, 2005
By A. Sorensen
This is the way to go. Perfect results every time. No more wondering if it's done. Whether you BBQ or smoke steak, hamburgers, chicken, veal, turkeys, pork - know when the right temperature has been reached each and every time. One MAJOR tip - the main unit and the probe both require to be RESET before the first use in order to sync up both signal and reception. The reset button is located inside each device's battery compartment. If your unit doesn't work right out of the box, then this is most likely the reason. With both units on, press the reset button.

 Bought Two of Them....Threw Them Both Away Mar 01, 2008
By The Big Guy
I like OS products, especially their weather stations, which I use. But I cannot recommend these grill thermometers. I threw both in the trash after they gave bizzare readings. Today, I was set to grill a prime rib roast....the OS probe (the one I had NOT thrown away because of the same problem) registered 199 degrees out of the refrigerator.
I compared to my Maverick thermometer, bought also on Amazon. It registered the correct 52 degrees.
I covet my meats done to perfection, and so far OS has not done the job. The Maverick dual senor thermometer has performed very well in my Weber grill and my Charbroil fryer. And yes, I know how to use digital, remote thermometers....lol.
For my money, try the Maverick.....good performer and does not give you wacko temp readings like BOTH of my OS did.

nice product, good range Apr 10, 2006
By Amalfi Coast Girl
I purchased this product because we have a four-story house and I did not want to be stuck near the kitchen to hear the temperature gauge sound. The range on this product is exceptional. Being three floors away from the base unit was not too far for the receiving sensor; it still functioned as it was designed. I have also been outside the house in the yard and the sensor still worked appropriately.
I use this product mostly in the oven. If takes the guess work out of large cuts of meat. The beef temperature that is preset is too high for my taste. But, I know this and just monitor the temperature and know that the alarm will not sound until the meat is overcooked, in my opinion.
As one of the other viewers indicated you do have to "synchronize" the base and receiving until by pressing the reset button on both items after installing the batteries and turning both products on. Check the directions, they spell out the process.
The belt clip and/or table stand is a nice feature of the product.
Another highly recommend product.

 Good Tool Aug 14, 2006
By William J. Henning
I am writing this in response to several reviews that critisized the lack of control for various cooking temperatures. Actually there is a wide range of cooking temperatures if one ignores the recommended ranges for specific meats/fish. Beef starts at 135 degrees (rare) and poultry is fixed at 180 degrees. This effectively allows a range between 135 and 180 degrees which covers the gamut of doneness. I really like this tool.
