Wireless probe on RFX
"Hi, i have a wireless probe my wife got me at Christmas and i did a low and slow cook with a maximum temperature of 300F in my pellet grill. There were two probes in the meat and now one of the probes will only display one temperature reading. I do like the unit, i just hope they will last. i just bought another two probe set which is why i am getting this review as i do like them if they will work for me. Thanks"
RFX System Works Great!
"I have used the RFX probes and gateway several times now and cross checked them against other thermometers. They are very accurate and work great with the app. They have helped me make sure my tomahawk, pork chops and other items turned out fantastic."

"I like the wireless temperature probes. It’s so to use, it’s almost like cheating. I use them daily! I keep buying more. The only I have is some will say inactive, but when i click on the probe in the app I get the the temp!"
The probe we received with
"The probe we received with the kit was unfortunately malfunctioning. It wouldn't connect to the app despite multiple resetting attempts. I reached out for support, and Michael M. was able to get us a new probe, which arrived in three business days--a lot sooner than I anticipated. The new probe is working well! It's very unfortunate that we had to be sent a new probe, but the excellent customer service makes up for it."
Works Some of the Time
"It does an okay job most of the time, I double check my meats with a quick read thermometer and the readings are okay but where it really struggles is in my Traeger Timberline 1300 with the meat wrapped in foil. Foil cuts off the reading completely. I changed to butcher paper which helped a lot but where I think the system needs a real upgrade is having it work with WiFi 5g. My house is on Wifi 5g so I need to run my RFX on bluethooth. This might help with the weak transmission/reception issues with foil. . . not sure."
RFX wireless probes
"Excellent system. The only issue I have is battery inconsistency. Sometimes the battery will last 20 hours or longer and occasionally you get 8 hours or less. Not sure if it's wifi or outside temps affecting it. My wife pre ordered mine as a gift and I've been using them since they were delivered. I probably have 1,000 hours on my probes so they are definitely durable. Absolutely worth the money"
I have only had a
"I have only had a chance to use my RFX once. I loved that I can be in another room and see my temperature and have a conversation with friends. But on my cook I double checked my temperature with my instant read pen and the pen was showing a higher temperature than my RFX."
I absolutely love my RFX
"I absolutely love my RFX Wireless probes. I'm getting consistent results from smoking to grilling. The seamless integration with my phone and real time temps & alerts is great."
Perfect food every time!
"Love this setup! My father-in-law recommended this to me after I told him his food always comes out perfect. I bought the 2 probe deal and feel like it’s the best money I’ve spent. I love how I can look at my phone and see the temperature of the food rise without even opening the oven. You can also set the high limit temperature so it notifies you when it reaches the temperature you want. No more ruined meals by overcooking or undercooking. Definitely worth the money!"
Pairing and charging
"Have hours spent trying to pair to my phone also the charging cord does not go in far enough to charge the unit Very frustrating and disappointed I’ve purchased several ThermoWorks products this one is a bust I want to return and get my refund"
Q&A
- If purchasing a two probe unit, how many probes with the two probe unit support? *can i add probes, If i want to add probes in future?
- You can absolutely add more RFX MEAT probes to your system at any time. The RFX GATEWAY that comes with the 2-probe kit will support any RFX device, and you can add up to 50 probes to that one RFX GATEWAY.
- I accidentally threw away my husband’s probes that were left in a pulled pork. If I buy a replacement probe, will it work with his charging station and Wi-Fi box he already has?
- Yes, the RFX GATEWAY can be used with any RFX MEAT probe. You can buy more probes here: https://www.thermoworks.com/products/rfx-meat
- What is the warranty for the RFX probes?
- RFX MEAT has a 1-year warranty. RFX GATEWAY has a 2-year warranty.
