    Spell Name: Carnis Perfecta

    Incantation: “Carnis Perfecta Saporis Ignis!”
    (Translation: Perfect meat, flavor of fire!)

    It may be pretentious, but honestly, I love mine. Sure it’s a want not a need, but at home it makes it much easier to monitor long cooks of large chunks of meat on the grill. I just used it on a leg of lamb last night. It lets me keep tabs on the meat while prepping other stuff in the house without having to go in and out and keep opening the lid, plus it predicts how much time until it’s done based on the measured conditions, and gives you a heads up when its getting close like when you’re 5 min out. It also will remind you how long to rest the meat, and via its “over temp” alert can alert you to flareups too. That said, I don’t have the “Pro” version.

    Edited for grammar/punctuation/readability.

    Rule #???: If it exists, there is a pretentious, extravagantly expensive version of it.

    Yea idk why people have such a huge problem with these. My dad got me one for Xmas a few years ago and I fucking love it.

    Edit: I wish I used better grammar

    my mom got one of a different brand for christmas last year, finally we decide to set it up, and surprise surprise the startup that made it got rid of the app and assumedly went under, so just another expensive piece of ewaste

    I told them to just get an Thermapen but they didn’t like how it looked

  10. Is it one of those wireless thermometers that you can track the temps on your phone?

    Seems nifty

  11. DonutWhole9717

    It’s obviously the highest possible quality. I mean c’mon, it came in a bamboo box!

  12. Slimslade33

    I mean if people like you are willing to buy it…

  13. jizzyjugsjohnson

    I got a ThermoPro that runs 2 separate probes and Bluetooths it all to your phone for about 25 quid off Amazon and it has worked a treat on every BBQ so far this year

    This packaging looks more expensive than the actual thermos my work gets

    Lol nah I like our thermos. I need to get my own in reality, but my work loads scattered throughout the place. Although taking a few steps is to grab one is way less efficient than reaching in my pocket. I do have a stupid question about probes tho. This company comes in and audits us like a health inspector, but it’s not actually a legal health inspector (they only report to the employer, like an insurance. Waste of money imo) and they use laser thermos. We only have probes but I noticed the last two times they come in the readings aren’t the same. It was a diced product they temped, but using a probe thermo wouldn’t it just be taking the air temp within the product? Vs a solid piece of something like a chicken breast. Are laser thermos more accurate?

    I mean we let our mgrs use them on us to tell if we had fever during COVID lol tool for pandemic vs my tomatoes are .3 degrees over

    I bought these because I thought it was the best in the game. Even bought the 4 pack one and it wouldn’t stay connected when I shut my sliding glass door within 5 ft of the grill.

  18. MoeSzyslakMonobrow

    Meater is garbage. Get them a ThermoPro

  19. I have a thermopen and a themoworks smoke but have always wanted these for rotisserie cooks. Too expensive for a single use item though especially when I have other tools that can do the job

  20. Prairie-Peppers

    So many people screaming about how shit these things are I don’t know why anyone still buys them

  21. minnesota2194

    They suck too. Was super disappointed with mine

  22. teddyrupxin

    My brother in law has 6. He says it’s good service to cook everyone’s steak to their desired temp. 🙄

  23. Ballamookieofficial

    Those are awesome!

    Great when you’re having a few beers around the BBQ

  24. TheEschatonSucks

    I’d show that off at my next cooooolinary meat up

  25. Acewasalwaysanoption

    Next one will be the biggest thing since humanity got the fire – the second coming of Promeatheus!

  26. I see shit like this all the time. Everything has an app and is Bluetooth now. I don’t get it. I just need to check the temp on the chicken, not find out its DNA structure from Kansas.

    Packaging and design says: “pretentious”.

    Name says: “As Seen On TV”.

  28. mcgargargar

    Not only is it pretentious, it’s a pretentious piece of crap. Ask me how I know.

  29. Jillredhanded

    Y’all need to perv some of the BBQ and Smoker subs. Those boys go hard.

  30. Wife got me one a couple of years ago…. expensive trash lol
