I bought a fancy wireless meat probe that cost me a whole brisket
I dropped about $120 on a high-end wireless probe set last year, thinking it would make my overnight cooks easier. The connection kept dropping if I walked more than 20 feet to my house, which is exactly when you need it to work. I woke up once to a dead signal and had to guess the temp, which led to a dry, overcooked 16-pound brisket. That was a $90 piece of meat ruined because I trusted the gadget. Now I just use a simple wired probe with an alarm I can hear from my window. Has anyone found a reliable wireless system that actually works at a normal distance?

Man that's brutal, a whole brisket down the drain. I read a forum thread where a bunch of people said the same thing about those fancy probes dropping signal. One guy swore by just using a simple wifi model that connects to your home network instead of bluetooth, said he could check it from the grocery store. But honestly, after your story, I'd be too scared to try another wireless one. My cheap wired one has never let me down.
