NEW Thermoworks RFX Wireless Meat Probe! First Look And Ribeye Test

[@SmokedBBQSource]

So after more research, The 15-60 second adjustable interval on RFX GATEWAY only applies to the wired ambient probe attached to GATEWAY. Inside the settings menu for RFX MEAT you will find a temperature based adjustable interval that ranges from 1° - 3°. You should receive wireless updates any time a sensor inside RFX MEAT changes by the selected interval. Get the RFX here -> www.smokedbbqsource.com/thermoworks-rfx/

Looks like this is going to be a "must have"! Thanks for the top review.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

It certainly is nice to have it!!! I think I am going to order a 2nd one!!! Thanks for watching!!

Great review Jeff! - RFX Looks like an excellent unit - I'm a Meater man myself, but that's just me. 🙂 I've had excellent results with Costco ribeyes using the 2-2-2-2-and rest for 5 method for years on a 650F grill - I don't even temp it anymore - very repeatable.

I will be doing a Meater review on the Pro soon!!! The Pro is certainly better than the OG!!! Thanks for watching, Garry!!!!

I think this ones for me when I'm ready. Great review Jeff.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

[@gharv1313]

Pretty nice, Jeff! Those steaks looked🔥🔥🔥. Thermoworks has some nice stuff 👌. Good review brother, cheers 🍻

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Thanks, George!!! I appreciate you watching!!

The trick I have learned is to set the probe to go off 10° lower then my final meat temp. On MEATER+ I will set the target temp to 115°. The steak will rest for 5-10 minutes will usually keep cooking for another 10mins and hit 125-130°. If I go a step further and sear the sides of the steak for about 1min typically cooks up to 135° while resting the 5-10min. So I would need to set the temp another 2-3° lower (112°) on the set temp to bring it under 130°

Please do a test on how long the batteries last. Multiple people are reporting only 8 to 12 hours. Far short of the 60+ hours promised. Makes it tough to use for low and slow smokes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the app "issue" with having to bounce back and forth between the Gateway and each individual probe. Coming from a MeatStick 4X, yeah its kind of annoying, but the build quality, accuracy, and connectivity make up for it by a landslide. Here's hoping for an app update in the near future.

GREAT REVIEW JEFF , HAVE YOU GOT YOUR HANDS ON THE FIREBOARD VERSION YET ? I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT TO GO WITH MY LSG PELLET AND STAND ALONG FIREBOARD AND THE SPARK , HOPE YOU CAN GET ONE OF THOSE AND DO A REVIEW SOON THANKS FOR THE INFO .

[@SmokedBBQSource]

Yes I will be getting the FireBoard version also!! Excited to see how they preform too!! Thanks for watching, Rod!!!!

[@billbryant1288]

How often did the RFX update when the temps were rising quickly during the sear?

[@SmokedBBQSource]

So after using it a couple more times, I see that on the probe it updates every 1 degree. But when grilling it jumped around 10 degrees in 5 minutes while resting. Like I said, I never use an inserted probe when grilling, I just check it when I feel it is getting close. I have started pulling the the steaks when they reach 118°. It is very accurate!! Thanks for watching!!

[@billbryant1288]

@@SmokedBBQSource I'm supposed to get one of these in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to comparing notes.

[@WFCoolerChicken]

Very interesting and great video going to have to try this

[@scottnewlin1]

I had the same experience with a Meater Gen1. Not covered under warranty 😢. Done with that brand!

[@wallyj2000]

Hi, thanks for your time and effort. Wish you would have tested out the distance and also the Bluetooth distance main reason I'm considering this is because the meter is always disconnecting. If you can do an update video on the distance would be awesome.

[@SmokedBBQSource]

This was just our 'first look' video, will be sure to test both out in our full review! Might even do a comparsion video comparing this with the Meater.

[@kirkside78]

I still have no idea when this will be released in the UK!!! Might have to get the new Meater block
