Reviews
Great wireless thermometer, clunky app
"I tried several different brands of wireless thermometers, and this is by far the best. Great signal strength, accuracy and battery life. The only thing holding it back is the clunky app. It works well enough to use, but it could be improved upon. The Apple Watch app is also completely useless."
Great design and engineering
"Just received and tested. The title says it all. 2.4MHz WiFi channel is an excellent idea to maximize transmission distance and penetration. My only negative comment is that the little Lifesaver candies don’t have any flavor. And they’re chewy. But it was a cute thought."
Phenomenal thermometers for asymmetric cooking.
"These were a game changer for me doing large sessions on the smoker with different cuts going at the same time. Now I dont have to constantly open the door to probe everything. The app is clean and concise. Being able to set temp alarms for each individual probe along with the air temp probe takes alot of stress out of long overnight cooks. Custom alarms wake me up in the event of a flame out so I can fix it ASAP. No more waking up to a stone cold smoker with undercooked meat."
IT'S THE PRODUCT I WAS WAITING FOR
"I've had my RFX 3 probe system for several years now & it's the best product I've used bar none! I use it cooking everything on the smoker, grill or in the oven. I've been a smoker enthusiast for 40 years and have trusted the quality of ThermoWorks for years now. The recent purchase of the RFX 1 probe and the RFX 2 probe kits are birthday / Christmas gifts for my kids who got the smoking bug from me. Gave 'em Thermopen Ones when it came out. I think I bought 5 of them for family and friends. The RFX MEAT probes will make great gifts! Now about the NANO!"
Nest probes I've used.
"I purchased these back in June for a long overnight smoke on several briskets. I've had wired probes and other wireless probes by several other manufacturers. The RFX probes are option packed, stay connected and are accurate as all get out. I don't use them every time I cook but when I do I have no trouble with connecting. The probes are charged by a AAA battery, in the base and the batteries last a long time. The gateway is rechargeable and has held a full charge for several months of non use. The gateway and probe charging bases have magnets are store conveniently on the side of my refrigerator."
PERFECT MINI SIZE
"The mini RFX probe is perfect for smaller cuts of meat. You don’t have to worry about burning out the probe or it coming out the other side. Great for Filet and Tri-tip. It also reports temp to the app really quick. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
The range is incredible; it
"The range is incredible; it easily maintains a connection from several dozen meters away, even through a metal smokehouse. It’s a real shame, though, that it doesn’t measure the ambient temperature like some other sensors, such as the Meater."
Exactitude
"I used my RFX gateway for the first time. Smoked four chicken legs on a Kamado at 225 followed by a reverse sear. It took less than 25 minutes from the first charcoal ignition to a stable Kamado temp that didn’t vary over 1.5 degrees during 45 minutes of low temp cooking. My probe which looked way too long for the thigh in which it was inserted worked perfectly as checked with my thermopen. Those four temperature points found the middle despise the fact that the tip was near the end of the thigh. And this is my first cook. I can only imagine how pleased I’ll be when I refine things with experience."
RFX Kit
"So far it has it’s a winner for me. I have a Thermoworks ChefAlarm, an Industrial IR Gun and a Node monitor and the RFX System is a game changer for me. Can’t wait for those cold winter barbecues when I don’t need to be outside to monitor the grill. The only “surprise” was the rigid gateway antenna despite the image of the flexible one on the box. Almost tried to force the antenna before I realized it was rigid. Small disappointment for a great product!"
**ThermoWorks RFX Wireless Meat Thermometer
"**ThermoWorks RFX Wireless Meat Thermometer – 5 Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** After testing countless wireless meat thermometers over the years, I finally understand why ThermoWorks has such a strong reputation. The RFX system delivers! My setup includes two RFX wireless meat probes, the RFX Gateway, and a dedicated wired ambient temperature sensor. What impresses me most is the reliability. The long-range RF connection is incredibly stable, the four internal sensors in each probe provide precise temperature readings, and the ThermoWorks app makes monitoring cooks effortless. The probes are rated for external temperatures up to 1,000°F, offer 65+ hours of battery life, and recharge in just 20 minutes. Each charging dock runs on a simple AAA battery—no charging cables required! I also appreciate the separate wired ambient sensor, which provides dedicated cooker temperature monitoring. I even put these probes through some extreme steak-searing tests using a 3,000°F+ torch. Although the probes weren't exposed to the torch's full temperature, they experienced some serious heat and are still performing beautifully! **ThermoWorks isn't selling hype. They're delivering precision, durability, and reliability where it matters most. ** With meat prices continuing to rise, accurate temperature monitoring is more valuable than ever. Highly recommended! **MrFlavorsmith** *Live a Life of Flavor. *"
Q&A
- Does the RFX charging block work only with battery, or can you plug a usb cord in for charging?
- Where the individual charging blocks included with each RFX MEAT probe use a AAA battery, the 10-Probe Charging Block is powered by an included AC adapter.
