Meater is garbage, I have had 2 and neither worked.

I tried my RFX for the first time on two smoked 18lb turkeys yesterday. The temps were spot on with my instant read so I am confident with their initial accuracy. Also, never had any issues with connectivity over the 6 hour cook. Tossed them in the dishwasher and now all clean as new. At first I was disappointed with the wired chamber probe, but I have a certain spot I like to measure my chamber temp so having a separate probe helps me there.

Gotta do a hard disagree on the cold smoker attachment if you have a pellet grill. My Traeger has never been that great at smoke production so I've tried smoke tubes and a cold smoker attachment (Magnum PIG from Smoke Daddy). The smoke tubes were alright but nothing compared to what I can achieve burning chunks of wood in the cold smoker to supplement the smoke flavor. I'm sure using one on a Kamado grill compared to a pellet grill is apples and oranges so I'll give the benefit of the doubt that it's a pass on a big green egg but if you've got a pellet grill I think they're absolutely worth the investment.

Great video, ty!! GrillGrates… I LOVE them as if you get a random flare up, it doesn't char the meat's and I like flipping them over for fish, veg and burgers anything I want more a flat surface but still want some smoke from. Another thing for me when I travel to cook at someones house or park bbq's, I grab 2-3 rails and instead of a BBQ with a basic or broken (not sure what you will get) wire rack, I have something I can trust. I will look up. your video on them now for sure to see your thoughts, I"m intrigued to see what you found.

I love my RFX! That’s my opinion.

I could not disagree more with your comments about the RFX. I have wasted many hundreds of dollars on MEATER probes of every generation that have horrible connectivity issues. The RFX is a major improvement in capability from this standpoint whether it’s in a pellet grill, Kamado, or 3/8 inch thick steel of my offset.

I couldn't figure out how to make Meater work, and the batteries.

I agree with your recommendation of what to buy and don't waste your money. I been using the ChefsTemp new probes with stand and love you can see the probe's temperature without having to use your cell phone.

Meater connectivity is hit or miss and the most unreliable device I have tried in this category – when I raised my issues to their customer team they never acknowledged & never responded. Pure junk especially at the premium price – much better options and better customer service from other players.
