I used this for about a year before it went belly up. When it worked it was OK.First problem was with the handle. You are supposed to use the cover as a handle extension. The seam of the cover had a hairline fracture in it so the thermometer tended to fall out into the BBQ if I tried to use it that way.Periodically the electronics would just go on the fritz. It would read in Celsius and there was no way to go back to Fahrenheit short of removing the battery.After a year it died and I tossed it. I'll pickup up something different next time.
