If you are an avid user of a grill, smoker, or any other type of oven for meats, a thermometer is essential when it comes to cooking times. This one from Alpha Grillers is spectacular, especially for its price point of $16. It provides accurate readings instantly upon inserting into the meat. The battery is long lasting, as I haven’t have to replace it since purchasing 2 years ago. I like how it features an led display for when you are cooking at night, making it easier to read. The lifetime warranty is nice, however with the price point it isn’t too big of a problem to re order if this ends up breaking. I also like the added touch of having a temperature guide for different meats. I highly recommend getting one of these if you haven’t already.
