Summary: Cheap (made anyway)
Comment: I just purchased one of these, placed brand new batteries into it (yes they were inserted correctly) and started my smoker up. I went back to look a few minutes later and the unit was no longer on. I press the taste button and it turns back on.. but for only like 5 minutes then it tuns itself off again. The instruction manual (the part in English anyway) does not mention an auto off feature or a way to keep the unit from turning itself off. This makes the unit worthless if you want it to alarm at a given temp like it is supposed to do. Defiantly skip this product and spend the extra $10.00 for something that works.

Summary: Inaccurate
Comment: I have two of these, and one reads ten degrees lower than the other in the same roast all the time. Ten degrees is a pretty big difference when you're trying to achieve a particular level of doneness, so these thermometers are pretty much useless.

Summary: Happy birds
Comment: I bought this product to check the temperature of my bird food before I gave it to them. So far I am happy with it.
The only drawback about it is doesn' come with batteries.

Summary: Worked one time
Comment: I bought this unit and used it one time in a smoker and everything worked perfectly. The next time I went to use it I found that the probe had failed. Replaced batteries and then checked probe with an ohmmeter and found it was open circuit. So it cost me $20 to cook one meal. My advice is to look elsewhere if you need a digital thermometer.

Summary: Great idea
Comment: I use this along with the 807 BBQ fork for the BBQ and the Smoker. I use the BBQ Fork for grilling and this for smoking and roasting. The lighted digital dial allows me to see the temperature and settings in dim light.The alarm tells me when the desired temperature is reached.The silicone coated probe is very sturdy and has been problem free.
