The loin looks great, Ben! Looks like the Tappecue is doing its job very well! I noticed you switched Mavericks to the 733 in the latest vids!

I like it! Really different display than the 732!

These will be my final thoughts on this review:
1. Great techy gadget. Love seeing things on my phone and the reporting it does when things fluctuate out of bounds.
2. Once some firmware updates are done this should become a fantastic product. Plus the new version of the app coming out is going to make plotting the temps much easier.
3. I would love to see them throw in a temp probe output to hook into a PID such as the Auber. Then I would be in tech bliss for my smoker.
4. Overall the thermometers are a tad lower than those of the Mavericks and if they could come up with a way to calibrate the units, this would be perfect.
So final conclusion on first use: If you have the room to spurge on a neat little WiFi thermometer, then you can 't go wrong with this one. Just remember to take into account that the probes are slightly off. Great unit built here in USA and support so far was super fast (just like Smokin-It).
Thanks guys!

Should be interesting to see how this product evolves...much like Smokin-It! ;D Great review and videos, Ben - thanks!

Here is a screen shot of the excel graph that you can get after the smoke.
The Red and Green are actually the Loins and the Purple is the shoulder. The Blue is the temp in the smoker and you can definitely see the fluctuations during the cook. Very cool and can't wait to see it on the app.
I had to cut the smoke short on the butt since it was very late and I had to be to work early. I guess if I had the Auber I could have let it sit at a warming stage. But it turned out lovely anyway.

Pretty cool!
I wish there was a remote thermometer that works with just a PC....I'm resisting getting a smart phone or tablet.

So it will run the Tappecue app okay?
I tried one of those emulators some time ago for something else and it didn't work out so well.

That's awesome!
That's one thing I absolutely HATE about the Maverick remotes...the probes are a very serious weak spot and they'll fail at what seems like the most inopportune time!

The little rubber gasket on the Maverick probes does break down over time. A little dab of high-temp silicone gasket sealer keeps them up and running.

OK super awesome news for me: They sent me the Beta version of the app that allows the charting of the temps. Sooooo cool now. I tested it with their smoke test that they were doing and it is really cool.
If you guys don't know, if someone that has this system wants to share the cook process they can allow you to watch what is going on. It is really cool now. Can't wait to see the changes over time. This unit is pretty much everything I have been looking for.
