Best service!
"I’ve had some difficulty getting all things correct with my RFX……. but…. since the customer service is awesome, I’ve been able to sue this unit excellently. I have a problem with the Meat and got it worked out and bought a second one too. Appreciate the quality of product and seervice from Thermoworks!"
Best Wireless Thermometer
"I spent some time reviewing different wireless thermometers when I bought one (Chef IQ Sense) last year and was not happy with it because it always lost connection. When reading reviews online it seems that's what a lot of these type of thermometers have in common. I was watching Mad Scientist Barbecue with Jeremy Yoder and he was using the RFX system. Clicked on his link and went to the website. I liked what I saw and decided to spend the extra money to get a 2 probe starter pack. I've used it once so far for grilling steak. Never lost connection once. The old one I had bought would've lost connection at least 3x. I love how the probes charge separately from the unit transmitting the temps. I'm looking forward to future cooks."
Works super well. Great battery life.
"First, I had problems syncing the system to my account due to old account issues. The customer service team fixed it immediately and it didn't slow me down at all. Amazing customer service. Second, the wireless performance is amazing. I tossed these in my Weber kettle and smoky mountain and the readings are rock solid. Battery lasts forever. Love the magnetic charging pods, makes storage super easy. The only thing I feel is missing is a wireless ambient probe. It's not a make or break thing since I'm usually smoking with Billows and need the wire there anyway. But it would be pretty nice to not have any wires going into my smoker. Anyway, 10/10 will buy again."
awesome
"just did my first cook with it and i compared readings with mybuilt in air temp thermometer, the thermoworks rfx, and fireboard 2 drive. built in varied 15 -30 degrees off of the other 2. but the rfx and fireboard stayed within .5 degrees of each other. The reason i bought the RFX is i am tired of probes failing mid cook and having to buy new probes all the time. i have spent more money on probes then i did on the unit. the rfx works awesome and what i thought was interesting it would be the first everytime with a change in temp. I cook alot of meat for charity and if the rfx is as reliable as my thermopen one is then i will save a fortune. i got it when it first came out"
RFX Wireless Probe
"Only used it once, but it works great. Will not over cook those steaks again. Gave it 4 stars as initial set video didn’t match the current software version on the device resulting in a bit of trial and error getting everything pared. Didn’t help I waited until I was ready to put the steaks on the grill to set up. Another great Thermoworks product in my tool kit."

"Love mine so got one for each member of the family!"
RFX Wireless Probe is great
"Recently purchased the RFX Wireless Probe Starter Kit. I have cooked fish twice using the probes. The RFX is easy to set up and allows me to set temps in the app to alert me when I have different sizes of fish, yet allowing each to cook to the perfect temp. The RFX range and signal strength is excellent. I can monitor the cooking temps with my fish on the grill while I am in the kitchen getting the rest of the meal ready."
Nice unit
"This is replacing a different brand. Just finished my first overnight cook and it performed great. Minor learning curve. . . very satisfied!"
IMO better than chefs temp!
"I bought the RFX gateway along with the the billows fan to run my old country gravity smoker. I previously had a chef’s temp S1 temp and breezo fan. I noticed that the digital temp probe on the chef’s temp was not accurate, and the breezo fan would blow right by my set temperature. I’ve been through 2 breezo fans and currently have another one sitting in an unopened box. I guess it’s the algorithm or the probe that keeps my temps rock solid with the rfx system. Hopefully it lasts!"
Rfx
"The rfx has really been a solid performer for me. Ive only had it for about 2 weeks but was utilized for brisket, pork butt, country ribs, steaks and smoked meatloaf. I have nothing bad to say about the rfx and am happy I purchased it."
