ArthurDent 138 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I got mine today. It is definitely a rebranded Maverick ET732, for significantly less money. Maverick handles service/warranty issues. The model# is ETREM732. The warranty period is 90 days. Replacement probes are $20 each or $33 for the set. I'm looking forward to putting it into action. -AD Teajunkie and aperper 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hand wash carefully, probe end only. Treat the probes with kid gloves for a long life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArthurDent 138 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thank you for the advice. I'm hopeful we can follow it, although I tend to feel that if there is a way to break something, any way whatsoever, someone in my family will discover it in short order.

Zukatah 24 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nobody gets to touch the maverick except me unless they are watching the monitor. I use the "I paid for it, you pay to replace it if something happens to it while you're responsible" policy. I was recently told that this would come out of the joint account anyways and my girlfriend has been using it. I just hope it doesn't fail on me before an important cook Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afidel 325 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Use some red RTV where the wire enters the probe, this keep moisture out of the probe and acts as a strain relief. freddyjbbq 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dub 6,683 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 My Maverick ET-732 is two years old. I may pick up one of these Remingtons as a spare or to use if I have two grills rolling at once. You can't beat the value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great tip, I used shrink tube which seems to be holding up very well but I like the RTV idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone have experience with this http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Scientific-AW131BLR-Wireless-Thermometer/dp/B000RL2ZGO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379558304&sr=8-1&keywords=oregon+scientific+bbq+thermometer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toe 987 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 ^ I don't have any experience with it, but that Oregon Scientific unit is only a single probe thermometer. The thermometer being discussed has two probes, one for monitoring cooker temperature and another for food temperature. The ET-732 is available under several different brands, there's the 'regular' Maverick-branded version, a Grill Grate version, a Big Green Egg version, a Remington version, and a Char-Griller version (and probably others I'm forgetting). They're all the same thermometer, made by Maverick. The Remington and Char-Griller versions can generally be had for a bit cheaper than the others (mind the shipping charges). freddyjbbq 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol, the big green egg version is 25% more money than the maverick! I like the big green egg grill but their prices ate jacked so they can suck it. Sad part is, I bet zillions of people would buy it for more $$ because it says BGE on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CVW 91 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I have the Oregon Scientific and love it. You do have to load the batteries into one part before the other to make it work right but other than that it has been great. I wish they made a dual probe and told them as much. Can't understand why they don't. Ken K a moderator over on the Primo forum has 2 of the Oregon Scientific and last I knew was very happy with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toe 987 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Lol, the big green egg version is 25% more money than the maverick! It could be worse. The Primo wireless thermometer is a rebadged ET-73, which is a model below the ET-732 that normally sells for $35. How much does Primo want? Try $90! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
