To put it simply, I would buy this again.

I have used the TempSpike on at least a few dozen cooks now. Grilling Steak and Chicken, I have also done a low and slow Pork Butt on the smoker. The app is pretty easy to use, if you can use your smart phone, you will figure it out. The range is good, no issues going from the deck to around the house. I have compared the temperature accuracy to another brand thermometer (costs about $30 more) with very similar results. I have not had any issues grilling at 550deg and the battery life held up fine for a 16hour smoke at 225deg. Good device, I've had it for 6 months and now that Summer is here, it's been getting a good bit of use.

TP-960 Does Not Hold a Charge
By Scott S. on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2024
I will start with the positives. The app is good, easy to maneuver and user friendly. The range good. If you find that you are getting disconnected make sure that the Booster is near the grill and not inside next to your phone. The temperature is within 2°-3° of any of my other thermometers, I’ll take that. Now for the negatives… I have 4 of these. I bought the first 2 and 2 are replacements from the manufacturer. (I forgot to put that above on the positives…. The customer service was outstanding. But it does not outweigh my negatives.) The first issue I had was #1 would not make the Bluetooth connection. I tried several times eventually with the help of customer service, which led the them sending a new complete unit. Thank You for that! It now connects and I am happy. Now to #2. It connected just fine and seemed to be working properly. The issue came in when the probe battery died about 3 hours into a brisket. Not good. So, again, another call to Customer service and working with them again, they sent a replacement unit. Thanks again! So, now I have 4 TempSpikes, one of which is useless because of the non connecting booster, although the probe still works, kind of. So, following the written instructions and customer supports recommendations on usage and placement of the probe and booster I can not get any more than 5 hours max on any of the probes. I have tried on several styles of grills and smokers, I tried in the oven and lastly I have placed each on the counter not inserted to anything and still the probes are dying at or before the 5 hour mark. Per the specifications the probes are supposed the be good for “48 hours or more”. I would gladly settle for half of that. I don't understand how with over 8000 positive reviews I cant get one to work as advertised. I do a lot of Butts and Briskets and as much as I like the TempSpike and want it to work, I think I’ll have to move on. Anyway, I know this was long winded but I wanted to make sure that I explained myself without just leaving a bad review. Thanks for Reading
