ThermoWorks, Your Way:

Introducing the RFX™ MEAT Wireless Probe, a professional-grade tool engineered for precision, extreme durability, and uninterrupted monitoring. Designed for pitmasters, chefs, and home cooks who refuse to compromise on quality, the RFX MEAT probe abandons unreliable Bluetooth limits in favor of a powerful, patent-pending Sub-1 GHz radio frequency. This ensures your signal easily pushes through thick steel smokers, cast-iron Dutch ovens, and heavy commercial ovens without dropping.

Accuracy in every sensor: Roast, smoke, grill, and fry meats to restaurant-level perfection. Four hidden probe sensors are independently calibrated to find the true thermal center of your cook—and deliver ±0.9°F accuracy between 14 to 212ºF.

Precision you can trace: Each RFX MEAT probe comes with a digital certificate of calibration to certify that your instrument has been tested against international laboratory standards, including those set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Ambient temperatures you can trust with RFX GATEWAY: Competitors’ built-in ambient sensors give inaccurate readings as cold meat acts as a heat sink, pulling heat from the metal probe and skewing the measurement of the ambient sensor by 75°F or more. Even if these sensors were accurate, they're placed in an evaporative cooling zone around the meat. This means your ambient sensor is not reading the accurate temperature of your cooker. Our Pro-Series® Air Probe plugs directly into RFX GATEWAY for precise placement and true ambient temperature measurements.

Next-level durability: RFX MEAT is designed to withstand ambient temperatures up to 1,000°F. It’s also fully waterproof and submersible—use it in the deep fryer or pressure cooker and then toss it straight into the dishwasher for easy cleaning.

Billows® BBQ Temperature Control Fan Kit (with Damper)

Billows® BBQ Temperature Control Fan Kit (with Damper)

Billows is an automatic BBQ control fan that keeps your smoker at a steady target temperature — without constant vent adjustments or fire tending. Paired with a compatible ThermoWorks controller (RFX GATEWAY™, Signals™, Smoke X™, and ThermaQ® 2), Billows regulates airflow into your smoker, increasing or reducing oxygen as needed to maintain consistent heat throughout long cooks.

Once connected, Billows takes over the hard part of low-and-slow cooking. It brings your smoker up to temperature quickly, stabilizes heat with minimal overshoot, and helps recover faster after opening the lid. That control translates to fewer flare-ups and more consistent results over long cooks, whether you’re smoking brisket overnight or running a long weekend rib cook.

Includes Billows Damper which lowers Billows air flow by restricting CFM, has 16 adjustment stops to fine-tune your cook to give greater control over Billows functionality

Reviews

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."

— Elliot (5/5)

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."

— Jake (5/5)

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. *"

Really? You need to have

"Really? You need to have a 2.4GHz wifi to use this device? Is this the early 200s? Did you buy a container full of chipsets for cheap in 2005 and you are still running through the stock. It's ridiculous that I need a 2.4GHz network to use this device. I am sure there are many people out there who cannot or do not know how to set up a separate SSID for archaic devices. Other than that, I love the product. It works extraordinarily well, 2.4Ghz requirement aside."

— Christopher F. (5/5)

Best thing ever

"So easy to set up. LinkedIn to probe instantly. Used in over on chicken first it so accurate and chicken was perfect. I have loved my thermo pen forever. So much I gave every family member one. So order both today or at least start with the pen. Enjoy almost perfection."

— Jimmie S. (5/5)

RFX Wireless probe

"The ThermoWorks RFX Wireless Probe has officially earned a permanent spot in my BBQ workflow. This thing is stupid‑simple to use — turn it on, pair it, and boom, you’re cooking. No fighting with settings, no dropped signals, no “why is this thing not connecting” nonsense. What I like most is the accuracy. When I say accurate, I mean dead‑on, every single time. I trust it enough to walk away from a brisket for hours because I know the temps it’s feeding me are legit. The wireless range is solid, the interface is clean, and the probes respond fast. It just works — and that’s exactly what I want when I’m filming, cooking, or juggling ten things at once. If you’re serious about BBQ, or you just want a tool that doesn’t make you cuss at technology, the RFX Wireless Probe is the one."

— Randy B. (5/5)

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!"

— ROBERT T. (5/5)

Great, except....

"I thought these were great until I wrapped my brisket in foil. At that point they stop working. I wish I would have known prior to ordering them. I'm sure they are great for most everything else, but I do mostly brisket and prefer to use foil over paper. I can't recommend for anyone that likes to use foil for their brisket cook."

— Doran R. (3/5)

The rfx wireless probe works

"The rfx wireless probe works very well i can walk across to my nabours and do not lose connection i will recommend to any one that needs a wireless probe i a little pricey but worth it"
