RFX MEAT Wireless Probe Starter Kit
Low and Slow Smoking, Overnight BBQ, Grilling, Rotisserie, Sous Vide, Deep Frying
Overview
The ThermoWorks RFX MEAT Wireless Probe Starter Kit is built for serious BBQ and all-day smoking, using a patent-pending sub-GHz radio frequency link between the probe and the RFX Gateway instead of Bluetooth for the long hop. That link holds a stable connection up to 1,500 ft line of sight, and the Gateway then sends continuous data to the ThermoWorks app and cloud over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth so a cook can be monitored from anywhere. The RFX MEAT probe carries four independently calibrated internal sensors that deliver plus or minus 0.9 F accuracy and automatically identify the true thermal center, and it withstands external heat up to 1,000 F. The kit includes the RFX MEAT probe, the RFX Gateway receiver, a Pro-Series Air Probe for ambient temperature, a grate clip, a charging block, a power adapter, a USB cable and probe rings. Battery life is quoted at up to 52 hours from a 10-minute charge and more than 65 hours from a full 20-minute charge, and the fully sealed probe is rated IP69K for deep frying, rain and splashes. The starter kit lists at $179.00 and is currently discounted to $125.30, and ThermoWorks does not publish a response time.
