The introduction of RFX MEAT changed the landscape of wireless meat probes. By ditching Bluetooth™ and moving to a patent-pending sub-GHz technology, RFX offers the strongest signal and the most adaptable platform available. Adjustable transmission intervals and an industry-leading battery ensure you always have enough power to make it through your cook.
Whether you are roasting a single chicken at home or a smoker full of 60 briskets at a restaurant, RFX has you covered. Here are a few simple tips to help you get the most out of your RFX experience.
Top Off Your Battery
The RFX MEAT charging block maintains an optimal battery level (80–100%) during storage for long-term battery health. For maximum battery life, remove and reinsert your probe 10 minutes before cooking to top it off.
Push It To The Line
Insert RFX MEAT to the minimum immersion line ensuring the tip does not come out the opposite side. Failure to do so can overheat and damage the battery. Don't worry about placing the tip of the probe in the center of the meat. RFX MEAT includes four sensors that automatically find the thermal center.
Check Your Transmission Interval
RFX talks when it matters. Using temperature-based transmissions instead of set intervals gives you greater insight into temperature changes and a battery life optimized for your use.
RFX MEAT is preset to 3° out of the box to maximize battery life. 3° is ideal for most cooking, especially long cooks. For faster cooks, 1° or 1.5° will give you more frequent updates but shorten battery life compared to 3°. Don't worry, there's still plenty for grilling steak or fish.
Clean Your Probe
Ensure RFX MEAT is clean and dry before returning it to the charging block. Leftover food, oil, and smoke can leave a hard-to-see varnish on the probe which will interfere with proper electrical contact, affecting charge and long-term performance. A little soap and a sponge is all you need.
