ThermoMaven Will Lower Your Blood Pressure!
I bought the Thermomaven "P2" from Amazon for $109 US. They are selling the "G2" right now for $129 US. The main difference between them that I can find is that the G2 runs wireless on what is called "Sub 1" giving better ranges. As for the P2 range, it is awesome and more than plenty for me. I suppose if you have a large property or want to jump on your ATV and drive over to the next hollow to show your buddy Clevis your Butt Temperature the Sub G1 feature is handy. Found this definition of it: "Long Range: Lower frequencies, like those used in Sub-1 GHz, have superior signal propagation and lower attenuation compared to higher frequencies. This means that Sub-G signals can travel further and penetrate obstacles like walls and buildings more effectively, enabling longer communication ranges, which can extend to kilometers in some scenarios." What I know is that without the Sub-1 I took my Base Unit for a stroll and held a signal for a long ways before losing signal, more than enough for my needs. I suppose the Sub-1 technology may have enabled me to get all the way to the Henderson Place but I don't even like them or their yippy little Foo-Foo dogs. Now that we have the electronic mess out of the way onto the Probes and Performance. In a word, OK maybe two words. GAME CHANGER! I have always found smoking meat to be less than enjoyable as it should be because of second guessing actual temperatures because of unreliable, wired probes. I own a ThermoPro and an Inkbird. I grew to distrust the ThermoPro and don't even get me going on the insidious, obnoxious mystery alarms on the Inkbird that sent my Blood Pressure into the Stratosphere. The ThermoMaven just works. What a concept. It seems to be highly accurate. It allows you to choose to set your Target Temperatures yourself or for you to let the App set them for you based on the meat you are working with. This trusting the App thing at first seemed a little naughty to me. Like I was violating some primeval guy code. Kinda like sneaking a can of Modela when you know that PBR is the firmly entrenched King Of All Barbeque Beverages. I am an unabashed convert. I have crossed over to the dark side. It's full up get over my wimpiness and give up control to the Maven. She totally knows what she's doing. My first cook was so relaxing and satisfying. The App tracks the time remaining to target temperature with precision. This is some pretty darn near critical news to have. No more, "Geez Louise! The corn is turning into mush! YOU TOLD ME THE MEAT WOULD BE DONE HALF AN HOUR AGO!" And that my friends is the power of the Maven. Forget the Bluetooth and the Wireless Range. Forget the pretty colors on the App. Just know this, you know when the meat will be done. The Maven even tells you when to remove the meat and tracks resting time. I mean, come on man! Just buy this thing. You decide on getting the fancy Sub-1 Ghz one or not. Just buy either one and turn your life over to the Maven. Read more
