Happy Sunday!

Now that warmer weather is on the horizon for us North of the equator, and knowing that we all need to eat, and that there are many here who like to grill, barbecue, or cook in general, I thought I would start one of my Sunday threads that are non-woodworking.

I came across this website after attending a food safety class where the instructors - all health inspectors - used one of the Thermopens:  http://www.thermoworks.com

After years of buying one digital thermometer or another and having to replace them because something happened to the probe - and not being able to get replacement probes - I bit the bullet and placed an order.  This company has a large assortment of accurate instruments and has even an assortment of different probes for different situations.  Just offering this information up for digestion.

Warning - Do not buy these from Amazon.  Amazon is not a thermopen dealer and the people selling them on Amazon are either selling cheap imitations or selling real thermopens at as much as $100 over retail while claiming that they are discounted.    If you click on Peter's link to thermoworks, there is a yellow strip across across the top of the page that says warning. Click on "more info". After reading that click on "extended info".

My C15 is used as the motor for my manual burr grinder for coffee every morning.

[member=59101]RockstarRemodel[/member] Where did you get the grinder from? Which model?
(Looks good for camping if I can manually work it without a cordless drill)

Thermopens: 

Yup, bought one of their Thermopens a few years back. Also very useful, I bought one of their big and loud timers. Large LCD characters, loudness configuration and very functional timer. The timer gets quite bit of usage.

Here's the Porlex mini hand grinder.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004...rds=Porlex&dpPl=1&dpID=31jvPh+7klL&ref=plSrch

I love it, in both manual and automatic modes ; )

I also have a Thermoworks Chef Alarm.  Great thermometer, what I like about it is you can use it on the grill with a probe in the meat or in the grill area.  You can also use it in the house in your oven with a probe either in the meat or keeping track of the temp in the oven its self.  I don't have a thermopen yet but I do have their "ThermoPop".  Not quite as fast as the thermopen but pretty close (3-5 seconds).  The main thing about the Thermoworks stuff is it is very accurate.

FWIW...there is a new ThermoPop® that has just been released, the original had a read time of 5-7 seconds while the new one has a read time of 3-4 seconds with the original $29 price tag.  [cool]

Sign up for their email list.
Quite often they have open box deals or specials.
I own 3 thermapens, between the house, camper etc.
best purchase I have ever made. Wife would complain in the past about raw pork. Now I simply tell her to temp it. she is happy that it is cooked, and I don't eat dry pork chops anymore.

Thermoworks has an open box sale on now, ends today. 30-50% of some items including the Chef Alarm.
