Everything I have purchased from them was top quality. Like auber, their stuff is built for industrial scientific and commercial applications. Very good products with some of the best probes on the Market.  Usually expensive but it will last .
 
Got mine Friday and tested it on a pastrami I was doing overnight.  Love the way it works, has a sturdy feel to it, display is easy to read and it never lost a signal.  The transmitter has magnates on the back so it will just attach to the front or side of your smoker.  The receiver is a little heavy in my mind for the cord to go around your neck, but I found a holster I had from an old GPS that worked fine to attach it to my belt.  If I am doing a big cook where I am moving around a lot, that will be the way I go.

If anyone has questions, ask away.
 
I will post some pictures when I get back home.  I am out to the homeland to pick up a Big Daddy on Saturday. And of course it is then a drive back home.  I will get some pictures of the Smoke posted on Sunday.
 
Here are some pictures of the new ThermoWorks Smoke.  It is super easy to use and the distance it stays connected is more than adequate for me.  From the testing I have done, it is spot on accurate.

I ordered one this morning and it has already shipped!  The probes look to be more sturdy than the ones I have with the ET-732 Maverick, and the box temp probe stopped working on Sunday.  So, the timing is good to try the Thermoworks Smoke.
 
The probes are more sturdy than the Maverick.  I have owned multiple Mavericks and feel the Smoke will outlast any and all of them.
 
Very nice looking unit. The probes look good. I wonder if this model will support wi-fi in the future?
 
According to their website: http://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke
"COMING 2017 - Smoke Gateway (Wi-Fi) & Smartphone App"

Being a gadget guy, I will be checking it out when available.
 
Do you think that the wifi and app would be compatible with this model or have to buy another newer model in 2017 that has wifi capability?

My understanding from reading this earlier was that the WIFI would be an add on piece that would work with the Smoke module. I think even after the WIFI add on is released it is just that and you would still need to buy the Smoke thermometer. I am sure that they will have a combo of some sort though.
