Thermapens...
I've seen talk of these in a few cooking threads, and I'm a huge fan of them. They are simply incredible thermometers for cooks.

Anyhoo, Thermoworks is doing an open box sale if you're interested in one or need a backup.

Agree, not only do I hate the wait mine makes me wait, I'm sure the foods getting jacked up while I wait, AND the grill is losing heat!

I understand the concept, and I'm not one to overly criticize anyone for an exorbitant culinary tool purchase (my knife bag and it's contents testify to this), but a hundred clams for a simple probe thermo-coupler is a lot.

I've got three different thermo's in my knife bag right now and I can't remember bitching about how much time they took or if they weren't accurate and I don't think I spent over $10 on any of them.

I mean, that's 1/3 of the way there to a pretty nice knife...

Honestly, I'd use it once in a blue moon.

I use the tried and true method of poking shit with my finger for final determination of doneness.

I guess that's why I don't have a hydraulic floor lift in my garage and use floor-jack/jack-stands instead; I'd only use a full-on hydraulic floor lift once in a blue moon.

Then again, maybe you use the other method because you don't have a good/fast electronic device like this. Maybe??? There's no question, both methods work, the electronic method just works better.

And I'd say this too, if you're into cooking/grilling/smoking it's no big deal. FMB and a few of us really like to cook, so what we'd spend on this toy means little compared to the craziness (sometimes) of that month's ingredients for what we're making. I'm into photography and dropping $100 on something is easy. My cash-poor neighbor (as he loves to say) always has coin for new tires, headers, stereos, and junk for his car. I drop $200-$300 on a bat for a kid's baseball dreams. Oh, and LOL, I used to drop $200-$300 on tix for a Chiefs game PER GAME!!!!

What does all that mean???? If you're into something, spend the money, you're worth it!

In a stroke of clarity this morning, I took the silicone sleeve off my primary Thermapen and put it on the secondary, and IT WORKS!

So I just ordered another, and soon I'll be back to two fully functional Thermapens!

Just to follow up because I'm seriously impressed, I tweeted my excitement this morning and Thermoworks responded. My busted pen is 5 years out of warranty, but they wanted to know which pen was broken, then said they'd send replacement caps for both pens, "just to be safe."

I haven't been able to convince myself to shell out that much coin for a Thermopen yet, and current family situations require that all money be saved in case of emergency. One of these days I'll do it though.

I use this on 90% of my outdoor cooks.

It is also great for high temperature grilling, you just leave the temperature control thermometer out of the grill so it is constantly pumping air in to increase the heat.
