Anyone using this? Thoughts. Was gonna get therma pen or thermopro then saw this. Kinda pricey though!

Never heard of the brand. ThermoPro are pretty affordable.

Weber makes it

Not lots of talk on that one around here. In my experience Weber doesn't make good thermometers.

Anybody have experience with these thermometers?
I am a big fan of ThermoWorks products and have their Smoke and a Thermopop thermometer. The "pop" thermometer is very good and has lasted a good long time. I have even purchased a couple more as gifts over the years. I wanted to buy a faster, better Thermapen, but even with Black Friday, Cyber...

I wonder if it’s any better than my old one?
Beats me. I'm still using my 15yo original Thermapen that my g/f bought me, in spite of our best efforts to kill it (dunked in water, etc.) All I've done to it is replace the battery a couple of times.

Well that new Weber one at least LOOKS good. I would be interested to hear more to find out if this time they got it right. Almost certainly farmed out to an overseas manufacturer of other thermometers, but again it does look pretty cool.
I use this one and can't find a single fault with it. I guess if I were rich a ThermoWorks Thermapen - or this new $99 Weber one - would be nice, but in my experience this TP-19 from ThermoPro does the job EXCELLENTLY and you can get 4 of them for the price of one Thermapen. It seems very rugged, not cheaply made, and has everything I could want (except style like that new Weber one!). Note the rubber sealed battery compartment with a brass screw and brass screw holder. I think a cut above some of the other inexpensive probe thermometers out there.

I have an off brand instant read similar to the Thermapro, Thermapen and Weber one. It works great and seems to be quite accurate. But if I bought another, I would probably go with the Thermapro like Jon's above. I hear only good things about them and they are 1/3 the price of the Thermapen. I think they look cooler too.
