But I think weber and thermoworks prove its not completely a price driven disposable world. If that were the case they wouldn't survive in the face of their much cheaper competition.

I don't disagree. And if you'll note I myself own a thermapen mk4. And a couple of weber grills. But that doesn't change the fact that it's still an individual choice. I think the American market has proven that being American made isn't enough in and of itself. The American made product has to...

I think the amount of discussion speaks to how valuable and indispensable these little tools have become. I know my grilling has become consistently better since I started using one several years ago.

I agree it's hard to judge something like that in regards to durability. Anecdotal evidence is just that - anecdotal. I fully expect thermapen thermometers to have the edge in durability overall. But if that's worth paying 300 to 400% more is an individual decision.

Good to hear a retired cops take on Taurus revolvers. I have one and am going to buy another.....

All the better thermopro thermometers are capable of being calibrated. I agree with Larry I'm not sure what NIST traceable matters? After a month now of using a thermapen alongside a thermopro i still can't ascertain any real difference in performance. I give the thermapen a slight edge in...

I guess the patent would depend on how proprietary the new technology is. If it's just a refinement of existing thermocouple technology i wouldn't think it's patent worthy? But maybe it's more than that? It should be interesting to see what happens.

Pretty disappointing product reveal by thermoworks in my opinion. Those new features just won't matter to most people. And I wonder how long it will take thermopro and others to incorporate that technology that makes the one second reading possible? Probably not long unless thermoworks has it...

I'm not sure rust is inevitable? My buddy has a two burner spirit with the closed cart that's 4 or 5 years old. No rust at all on his. His sits outside under a partially covered patio and he used a grill cover. I know climate and geography have something to do with it too. But it looks like we...

My brother has a newer 4 burner stainless genesis II. He's had it 3 or 4 years. It's been a fine grill for him. It performs just as well as my old genesis1000. It still looks good too. And a close friend has a 2 burner spirit. He's had it 4 or 5 years. No problems at all to date. I like the...

Look for an older genesis grill. Those are the weber grills worth having. And one of the best grills ever made.

As someone who has both a thermopen and a much cheaper thermopro in my opinion the thermopen needs updating. The thermopen needs the built in magnets, a hanging hole and a bigger display in my opinion. Little things but they make a difference. And when you pay top dollar you expect the very best

I was originally tentatively planning to come. But I just can't due to a major project at work. Hope it's a huge success.

I received my thermapen mk4 several days ago. I've gotten the chance to use it several times in close comparison to the $25 thermopro tp19. Some surprising and some not so surprising results from that comparison. Accuracy and speed: the 2 thermometers were within 0.5 degrees of each other...

Well I've always kind of wanted a thermapen even though I'm not displeased with my thermopro at all. So with this sale i pulled the trigger and bought one. It hasn't arrived yet. But I'm anxious to receive it and do a head to head comparison.

$74 with the standard shipping option. It's certainly tempting. Still about 3 x what a similar thermopro costs.

Interestingly enough you can still buy a modern version of that "fossil". I'm pretty old but I've never seen one. Could be a useful tool though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076V7W86F/?tag=tvwb-20

It is true that the old weber grills were built better. Thicker firebox, stouter thicker steel frame, etc. But in my opinion the newer weber grills are still very well built. With care they will last. They will last MUCH longer than the big box brands like char broil, nex grill, etc. As someone...

Jsaus I don't rotisserie either so the burner orientation doesn't matter to me either. I do appreciate your side by side comparison of the classic genesis to a newer weber grill. I'm an owner of 2 of the older genesis grills. But I have friends, family, and neighbors that have newer genesis and...

That makes sense regarding the lack of a rotating display. That's a nice feature and worth an extra few bucks. I've had my thermopro tp19 for a while now. I did test temp accuracy a short time ago (ice water test) and it was pretty spot on. But so was the 8 buck cheapo thermopro I've had for...
