depends what you want to spend for what technology. i love my thermoworks Signals but it's not the least epensive. they have less expensive products that could meet you needs and budget. ALL their products are very high quality and they work well.

If you're looking to spend < $20
It works OK, it's slower than the Thermoworks, and also 1/3 of the cost

I'm very happy with my thermapen classic and have had it since 2017, and I bought a thermapen one on black friday.
after 4 years, my thermapen classic needed to be dismantled, cleaned and re-lubed. I didn't want to risk being without one so I splurged on black friday and bought the termapen-one.
the thermapen one is faster than the classic, but both are great. The dismantle, clean, lube and re-assembly of the classic went well and now I have two.
There are some that are better than the cheepest, but IMO the thermapen is worth having.

That one was on my radar, I also saw one by blackstone that had good reviews online, but now personal experiences with it under 100 would be good ideal would be in 50-75 range
Amazon seems to push the ThermoPro line, no thermoworks or blackstones there

i have the MK4 which has been superseded by Thermapen ONE: https://www.thermoworks.com/shop/products/thermapens?tw=VWB&chan=TVWBB
it's fast, instant read, accurate, water resistant, cleans up easily, durable, changes display on probing angle, and is backlit. AND it's on sale now.

I have two Thermoworks instant read and one Thermo Pro.
Thermo Pro works fine for the price. Thermoworks only sells off it's site, too many knock offs on Amazon.

idk when their father's day sale ends. 20% is a good value. 25% off is the best sale i've seen them run. if you sign up for their emails, you'll be in the know on all sales and deals. act accordingly on this sale if it makes sense to you. i am 100% satisfied with my two (2) thermoworks products. they're essential and critical tools that just work, every time.At 84 bucks i think the leading contender is the thermopen1. but i will give it a day to see if any other contenders pop up here

This is an example of a tool where there are few good substitutes. I highly recommend the Thermapen from Thermoworks. It is the one to get if there is any way you can possibly swing it. It is very fast and very accurate, useful for far more than only the grill. Older versions of the Thermapen are still being sold. They are fast and accurate and can save a few dollars.

I looked at Thermoworks website and saw their Dash model. The Dash offers better than 1 degree F (0.5 C) accuracy and a 3-4 second measurement speed for $32. I have never seen one in person, although I have seen the similar "Thermopop." You may wish for the 1-2 second measurement speed of a Thermapen, especially when you use it over a hot grill. Still, the Dash may be "good enough" at a lower price:

To be clear, we have owned a basic Thermapen for years. It is fast, accurate, and durable - a quality product. I highly recommend a genuine Thermapen. You can pry ours from my cold dead hands. If you must have something right now on a budget, consider a Dash. It may be suitable at a lower cost. I would rather save my pennies and do without to save up for a Thermapen, rather than buy something else.
Bad people sell inferior counterfeit Thermoworks products, so be sure you are buying from an authorized Thermoworks seller. Amazon is NOT an authorized seller. See:

Over 13,000 reviews and under $20 dollars , good bang for your buck and this has a very quick 2-3 second temperature response time .

Thermoworks sale ends today. I got the Thermoworks Dash a few months ago on sale, it's $31.20 right now. I have been very happy with it. And I have used the Super-Fast RT301WA digital pocket thermometer ($29.00) for quite a few years and is very good also. The super fast RT301WA can be calibrated also. I put the RT301WA in the R/V when I got the Dash.

I have a couple from Taylor that I get from Publix. One is a fold out style and the other is the traditional straight one. They aren’t the fastest instant reads in the world but they work good and not too expensive, and most important to me they are convenient to buy. I’ve never used a Thermapen before, I’m sure if I did I’d never buy Taylor again.
