Alternatives worth comparing
NewFour wired probes and a handheld receiver that beeps at your target temp, no app needed. The catch: the probe wires run out of the grill, and it uses AAA batteries.
NewA wire-free probe that sends the meat temperature to his phone, and it goes in the dishwasher. The catch: it's app-only over Bluetooth, so his phone has to stay in range.
NewA pocket instant-read with a big backlit screen and a waterproof body. The catch: 2 to 3 seconds per reading, slower than the Thermapen.
