Remote BBQ sensor lets you chill while you grill
Cooking a roast or smoking food on your outdoor barbeque grill can be a challenge: You have to keep an eye on the temperature to make sure it's oven-like but doesn't get too hot to dry out the goods. That can mean sticking close by to check the heat and doneness with a thermometer. No fun if there's more work to do inside.
monitor your grill from afar.
Maverick Industries in Edison, N.J., is out with a line of battery-operated remote thermometers that help fix that problem. Plug the probes into whatever you're cooking, set the desired temperature and doneness (rare, medium rare, medium, well), clip the wireless receiver onto your belt, and go about your other business up to 100 feet away. When the food is cooked the way you like it, the receiver beeps.
The ET-7, which goes for $79.99, and the ET-72, which costs $59.99, are the lower-price models and they work both on the grill and in the oven. The ET-73 ($60) is designed for smoke-cooking on the outdoor grill, and it has both a food probe wire and another sensor that clips onto the grill rack to provide the temperature of the smoking chamber. When the temperature of the smoked meat goes above your programmed temperature, the wireless receiver beeps and flashes to let you know.
