Bought the Typhur Sync today on Amazon for $159, thank you for your very thorough review.

@SmokestackJoes 3 ай бұрын

Thats a great price, this is by far the best wireless thermometer i have

@brianpreston5206 Ай бұрын

Can you reverse sear with the Typhur

@bananaman1961 3 ай бұрын

So...just a follow up on my last comment. I received some Amazon gift cards for my birthday, "free money", so I bought the Typhur Sync probes. I absolutely love them. So handy. I reach for them before my wired Thermoworks probes 90% of the time. We'll see how the lift span thing goes, but highly recommend. Thanks for the review!

@SmokestackJoes 3 ай бұрын

No problem glad you like the review. The sync is just so easy to use and having the option to be able to run out and still monitor the cook is a game changer.

@greg2865 2 ай бұрын

FYI. You can add custom alerts in the Meater app. That means you could have put one at 95 and/or 100 to pull off the PR and monitor the internal temp while bringing the grill up to a sear temp. I just learned that trick and it is a game changer for things like this and time to wrap, etc.

@christoffernilsson1738 19 күн бұрын

I'm using my meater 2+ for the first time now, and I am not having an accurate reading of the ambient temp. Right now its stabilized to around a 15°C difference, but in the beginning it was as much as 25°C. Im using the Thermaworks ChefAlarm to measure the ambient with a probe at the grate right next to the Meater 2+

@SmokestackJoes 10 күн бұрын

With any wireless meat thermometer you are going to have the ambient temp off until the meat starts to warm up. since the ambient temp sensor is attached to the internal sensor it draws the cooler temp from inside the meat to the ambient sensor. Its just a flaw that all wireless thermometers have so youll just have to know early on that your ambient temp is probably higher then what you are seeing.

@joechong2096 2 ай бұрын

Great video! Was very well put together. I like how you showed the apps in detail because that is a big deal for a lot of people, including myself. I bought the meater 2 plus and then found the typhur 100$ . Im very torn on what to do. Lol ..... I still haven't even done a cook.

@SmokestackJoes Ай бұрын

I'm glad it was helpful. Honestly whichever one you go with will be fine. If you want the capability of being able to monitor the cook anywhere over wifi without the use of another device, go with the typhur, plus you get 2 probes with it.

@randyg8251 Ай бұрын

Excellent video! I do have a couple of additional points, though. You mentioned that the Typhur has an advantage in that it comes with 2 probes whereas the Meater 2 Plus comes with only the one. True, but the Meater App handles up to 4 probes so if more than one is desired, they can be added. And yes, I know it will end up costing more, but it can be done. Also, the Typhus actually comes with either 2 or 4 probes, again, for more money, of course! So yes, the equivalent capacity will cost more for the Meater than the Typhur ... agreed. There is one problem with using multiple Meater probes that I don't like. The probes are identical and are not labeled with a number or anything like the Typhur. That makes is harder to keep them apart when grilling multiple cuts of meat. Myself? I bought two Meater 2 plus units mainly because of the thinner probes as I often grill thinner cuts and they mess up the meat less. Also, I personally like the Meater App user interface better. That, of course, is only personal preference.

@SmokestackJoes Ай бұрын

Great comment thank you. I agree that I do like the meater probes better then the typhur.

@@SmokestackJoesjust a note about the probe diameters. The Typhur Quad probes are smaller in diameter ( 4.82mm) than those in the Typhur Sync 2-pack (6.1mm). That also makes them even slightly more slender than the Meater 2 (5mm)!

Sent my Typhur back for a replacement unit as the probes were way off. Supposedly they were certified as accurate, not in any of my testing. Ice water to boiling, way off. Hopefully the next unit will be better. We shall see.

Yeah thats not right. They are suppose to be accurate within 0.5 degree I believe. Hopefully the new probes will be better for you

@ikonikhunter Ай бұрын

I’m going to say this based on this review, this is probably better than the Meater Block. The Meater Block, and I have several units, has been nothing but trouble. In multiple units that I have I must add. Customer service with Meater (apption labs) is absolutely horrible! So if Typhur’s customer service is better than Meater, which shouldn’t be difficult to achieve, then I’ll roll with the Typhur.

Do either of the apps show the individual temp readings for the multiple sensors within the probe? Or do they just use all of the sensors to give you 1 temperature?

@SmokestackJoes 24 күн бұрын

Neither of the apps will show you the different temps as far as I know. The temp reading you get is usually the lowest of the temp sensors I believe.

dos the typhur have both high AND low (downward) alarms on the meat part of the probe? or just final target? the meater does, via the alarm button. but brands like thermo-pro do not.

With the Typhur Sync base, can you view the ambient temperature? And can you set a low and high ambient temperature benchmark? I don’t have a pellet grill, I have an offset and that would be very helpful for me

With the base you can view the ambient temp but you cant set any benchmarks, you have to do that through the app.

What no one talks about is when the life of the rechargeable battery in the probe itself goes out, as all batteries do, they can't be replaced. You're left with a boat anchor. I guess I'm old, but having to buy new again in 5 to 7 years is unacceptable.

$119 / 5 years = $24 a year for the use of the thermometer. It’s a consumable like errrrrr BBQs, charcoal, meat, gloves and just about everything else. It’s your choice, if $24 / year ($2 / month) is too much for you then do without; no-one’s forcing you. How long should a such a tiny battery last anyway? Forever for you $119???? Idiot.
