Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you love to grill or smoke in the summer, this thermometer is ideal. I've been wanting a wireless thermometer for awhile to upgrade from my wired Taylor. It served it's purpose but I had to keep going and checking it. That means if you're entertaining and busy with anything else you'd have to stop and go out to the grill constantly. Having this Temp Spike solved that. I can now stay with guests or work on projects and know what's happening with the grill. If you're close enough (up to 500 feet) you can have the booster pack (main unit) with you. Or leave it by the grill and check the app on your phone. I love this! Having 2 probes is great. 2 different pieces of meat or one in the meat and one elsewhere in the grill to better monitor temp fluctuations. (very helpful on a big green egg) Each probe does monitor the meat and ambient temp in one spot. The Booster pack is where you charge the probes. Just plug them back in their holders and your ready for next time. Getting everything setup was super easy. Charge up the boisterous and download the app. Thermopro has several apps, get the "Tempspike" one. The app found the thermometer immediately. That's it! I will be using this thermometer so much now that grilling season is here.

I’ve had many grill thermometers over the years, and all have been problematic. Typically, they’re fragile and physically break or stop functioning, they either don’t have any remote monitoring capability, or the remote monitoring suffers from short range and/or the remote monitoring device is difficult to pair and keep paired. In short, I haven’t found an ideal solution. I’m optimistic that the ThermoPro TempSpike solves many of these problems. My first impression was surprise in terms of the quality of the probes (2 are included). They’re well designed and durable. Time will tell if they last, but compared to other probes the quality is significantly higher. A promising factor is that there’s no wire to break (which I’ve experienced multiple times in the past with other thermometers). The probe is self-contained and communicates via Bluetooth to an included booster, which in turn communicates via Bluetooth to an Apple or Android device. Additionally, the design is elegant in terms of the booster also serving as the storage location for the 2 temperature probes. So, for storage everything (including a USB cable for recharging) is in a single enclosure… it’s sort of analogous to modern earphones and their charging case. Initial setup was easy. The instruction pamphlet includes a QR code that routed me to the (in my case iPhone) app which I installed and in turn, it immediately found and synced with the booster and probes via Bluetooth. The app itself is nicely laid out with an intuitive interface that enables various configurations, but most importantly simple settings for the type of food to be cooked/monitored and associated notifications. When cooking, a nice feature is that each probe monitors both the food temperature AND the ambient grill/smoker/oven temperature. My other thermometers all require 2 separate probes, one for food and another for the “oven”. While cooking the phone app stays up to date with the temperature information, and the done temperature notification works as expected. Additionally, you can monitor both food and ambient temperatures from the screen on the booster. Critically, the range is great. I’ve gotten more than 200 feet (including walls) from the booster with no issues. Another impressive feature is the estimated time left to cook function displayed in the app. I’ve found this to be reasonably accurate, and helpful in terms of knowing when to time other parts of the meal. The only shortcoming I’ve found so far is that the TempSpike can sync with only one phone/device at a time. It would be great if my wife’s phone could monitor simultaneously. Also, time will tell if the TempSpike lasts, but the 1-year warranty (which is extended to 3-years when you register the device) and the probe quality are positive indicators! I absolutely recommend the TempSpike to everyone 😊.

I like to make a brisket from time to time, and I use my Traeger to do so, however I don’t trust the Traeger’s temp probe because I have found it is not accurate enough to ensure I don’t overcook the brisket. This is were the the Thermopro Twin Tempspike comes in. I used both probes to make a 19 pound brisket with a target temperature of 195 degrees. The Twin TempSpike was easy to setup with the iOS app and I was able to set individual target temperatures for each probe by color (white or black). Since both probes went into the same meat both had a target temperature of 195. However if you are making two different types of meats, then you can set a target temp for the black probe and a target temp for the white probe and see where everything is at a glance of your phone or the booster/carrying/charging case. Another good feature in the app is you can set your phone to vibrate, sound an alarm, or both when the target temperature has been reached. I mentioned earlier but you can also see the ambient temperature, meat temperature, or automatically toggle between the two temperatures on the booster/carrying/charging case. This is ideal because I DO NOT want to pull out my phone to check the temperature of something I am right next to. I will pull up my phone if I am far away (on the couch or drinking garage beers). I had no issues with the Twin TempSpike as it accurately measured the internal temperature. Without accurate measurements all of the smart features would be useless, like my Traeger’s probe. While this is item is not necessary to cook, it is a convenience item that makes cooking easy with temperature alerts on your phone and on the case. Once you have experienced the convenience of the Twin Tempspike where you can track the temp of one or two items independently, you will soon find that this convenience item may creep into the necessary category for you.

the good: * Dual Temperature Probes - One of the standout features of the Thermopro Twin TempSpike is its dual temperature probes, allowing you to monitor the temperature of two separate dishes simultaneously. This is especially handy for multitasking cooks who need to keep an eye on different meats or dishes cooking at the same time. * Wireless Connectivity - With wireless connectivity, this thermometer provides the freedom to monitor your cooking from a distance, though you are still attached to a relatively short bluetooth range. The receiver unit offers good range for the connection type, and the case acts as a booster (bluetooth signal is greatly reduced say, when in a metal smoker with the lid closed). * Accuracy and Precision -The Thermopro Twin TempSpike delivers reliable and accurate temperature readings, helping you achieve perfectly cooked meats and dishes with confidence. The probes are responsive and provide real-time updates, allowing you to make adjustments as needed to avoid overcooking or undercooking. * User-Friendly Design - The thermometer features a user-friendly design with intuitive controls and a clear display on both the transmitter and receiver units. Setup is straightforward, and the interface is easy to navigate, making it accessible for both seasoned chefs and beginners. the bad: * Build Quality - While functional, the build quality of the Thermopro Twin TempSpike could be more robust. The plastic construction feels a bit lightweight, and the probes may not withstand heavy-duty use over an extended period. * Battery Life: -The battery life of the thermometer could be improved, especially for users who rely on it for long cooking sessions or frequent use. It may not sound like a big deal, but if you’re smoking something overnight, you want to make sure you have enough battery, and of course they’re rechargeable, so it’s not like you can just swap the batteries out. * Limited Connectivity Features - Bluetooth only, no wifi. The bluetooth does work reasonably well, and this may not be a huge issue for some, but for others, being able to monitor a temp from a longer distance (say, smoking a brisket while you take a quick trip to the store, for example) is super convenient. * Mobile App - The mobile app is functional, if not super configurable. For example, in order to set an alert temperature, you must actually save a new temp to your profile, instead of just adjusting to a number and changing when necessary. In my use case, I wanted an alert for some brisket at 180 degrees, but then another alert at 200 degrees. This means I now have 2 alerts saved in my profile, one for “wrap brisket” and one for “brisket done”. Clunky in my opinion. overall: The Thermopro Twin TempSpike is a solid 4/5 stars for its reliable performance, dual temperature probes, and user-friendly design. It does have some minor drawbacks, but its accuracy and convenience still make it a valuable tool.

The twin temp spike should be in every grillers tool bag. Both spikes come pre paired to the booster/case. The case has an LED screen that shows each spikes ambient/internal temp. The spikes also pair with the temp spike phone app. It takes literally seconds to mate with the app. The app has every setting you would need for multiple meats, cooking finishes from rare to well-done, Along with estimated time left to cook. I set the app for 2 pork butts for my first test. When my smoker was up to temp. I inserted both spikes in each pork butt. I placed the booster case (which has magnets in it) on the outside of my cooker. I was able to monitor the temp from within my house. I set the alarm for about 10 degrees before the desired temp. When it reached the temp an alarm warned me I was within 10 degrees. I headed out to retrieve the pork which toned again telling me both butts had reached the desired finishing temp. (Note: I swapped the pork half way through to maintain an even temp.) I love the fact that if I forget my phone inside when checking on the meat, I can always check the booster case for the internal temps. On an open grill the units advertises up to 500 ft. of connection. But this drops considerably on a grill or smoker when the case is closed. Just make sure to use the booster close by the cooker for added distance. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t like the babysit meat and wonders if the food has been fully cooked. I love my set.

I really wanted to be impressed with this, but temperature inaccuracies are a concern. The basics: The TempSpike is a wireless internal temp probe device with 2 spikes for either 2 items being cooked or placement in 2 locations in a larger cut of meat. The device operates off longer-range Bluetooth 5.2, paired with your phone, and claims an “up to” 500 feet range, which I found substantially less. Starting with the basics, it charges using an included (very short) USB-C, charging the base (“Booster”) then charges the spikes. Each spike is color-coded (white and black), and can be set individually to different temperatures, for example if you wanted 1 steak medium rare and another medium well, to ensure different cooking times, or used in the same cut, for example the flat and the point of a brisket. The package also comes with a wire brush for cleaning the probes. As for the biggest point – temperature accuracy. I found both probes to be 8-10° off (low) internally during cooks with steaks and pork butt. I tested along the entire length of the probe with 3 different “instant read” thermometers – one of which is from ThermoPro itself – and were consistently low. That creates a major issue in that if you’re looking for a steak at a certain temp, say medium rare (130-135°), if it’s actually 140° when you take it off thinking it’s 130°, you’re already overcooked. The external “ambient” temps also varied greatly, but chalk that up to my smoker and where the probes were. But seeing that INTERNAL is the most important number, being off by 10° makes a huge difference. The base pairs with ThermoPro’s app, allowing you to control the probes, see battery levels, etc. The app also has several presets built-in, which are JUNK. For example, a preset for “beef, medium rare, 140°”. Medium rare is 130-135°, and you usually want to pull a steak at 125° and rest it, where it will continue to cook up to the desired temp. By choosing the preset at 140°, by the time it alarms & you pull it, you’re at 140°, will likely cook up to 145-150°, which puts you close to medium well. Nothing like ruining a steak when using a $120 thermometer. If you use this, you absolutely MUST create your own presets (you cannot change their built-in ones) so you don’t overcook the meat. (Note, there is a “temp pre-alarm” setting in the app where you can set it to alarm in 5° increments before the meat is done, but this is “off” by default and takes some digging to find). Also, you cannot set any of the temps from the base, all settings must be controlled through the app, so you’re forced to use it, like it or not. On 2 steaks I was cooking, one probe “locked up” in reporting its temp, so it sat reporting 116° in the app for several minutes while the other one was saying it was done. I had to force-close the app, restart it, and it immediately alarmed that it was at 134°. So had I not been watching, and relied on an alarm that was never going to come, I would have had a piece of charcoal to serve. When I looked at the base & the displayed temp, it was correct, so it was something with the app (note I left my phone next to the base the whole time, so it wasn’t a Bluetooth range drop out that caused it). Seeing this was on my 1st cook with the thing, it didn’t give me a lot of confidence. As for Bluetooth reach, I found the 500 foot claim to be substantially off. On my multi-hour pork cook, I often had disconnects just walking inside while the smoker was on the front driveway, not far from the house. The distance is obviously limited by any obstructions like bricks on a house or metal, so having it drop out just walking into the kitchen was disappointing. The spikes are also fairly large in diameter, so you’ll be limited to using this on very thick steaks (at least 1.5”) or large cuts like a brisket or pork butt. This isn’t something you can throw in a standard chicken breast or use with ribs, thinner steaks, etc. So this will not replace an instant read (and frankly, with the temp variation, I’d still recommend an instant read as a cross-check). You also have to insert the spike over 2.5” into the meat to avoid damaging the probes, so again, won’t work on smaller/thinner meats. Battery life for the probes was fine. Both lasted a full 10+ hour cook on pork with battery life to spare, so likely would even work for a 15+ hour brisket. In summary, the temp variation with the probes makes this an unreliable device for me. Will I use it with custom presets set lower than expected temps, then obsessively probe with an instant read as it’s approaching the desired temp? Sure. But something sold for the explicit purpose of telling me a temperature should be a lot more accurate out of the box without having to “hack the temps” to ensure I don’t overcook. And hey, ThermoPro, maybe have someone programming your presets who actually knows what the corresponding internal temps actually should be (or let us change the presets so we don’t have to have a ton of custom presets, resulting in 3 pages of presets to scroll through).

Thermopro twin tempspike, I was not very impressed with this set of temperature probes. The application is very basic, it gives you a temperature reading for each probe and an ambient temperature reading for each probe. It allows you to set a target temperature for each probe.Which if youre cooking two separate items or cooking a large piece of meat it allows you to set and monitor multiple different areas. It has a nice storage case that is rechargeable and has a separate lcd screen that shows temperature of each probe. There were a few things i noticed while using these that I did not like. The app is very basic like I stated above. There is not a physical off button or way to disconnect from the probes while theyre not in use. So they will randomly connect while not in use. The temperature probe seemed to be accurate for internal temp but the ambient temperature readin g seemed to be off by alot. I had the oven set at 380* and the ambient temp reading on the probe set was reading 268*. The twin tempspike is definitely a well made product the probes are stainless and have a nice finish, the case is rechargeable and charges the probes while theyre being stored.

I got my hands on the ThermoPro TempSpike and I must say, I was very happy with the outcome. For years i've fumbled around trying to get my hands on a decent instant read thermometer. The truth is they were never very "instant", and no one wants to stand around with the grill lid open just to get a reading. Also many of those devices have plastic bodies which is a no go. Enter the TempSpike. These probes are compact, and made with a fully metal body. So no fears of them melting. They are rated up to 572' F...sorry no broilers! The device comes with an awesome carry case that acts as a charger and repeater for the bluetooth signal. Also, the charger uses USB-C which is great because it means not having to have another bulky transformer to keep track of. The app was super easy to install and pair with the device. The app was clean and was pretty intuitive to use. The data it gives you is internal temp of the meat, and ambient temp outside the meat. So this is pretty handy for keeping an eye on your grill temps. I liked that it had a pre-built setting for all sorts of meats that allowed you to customize the doneness. And what's great about setting your doneness temp is that the app will alert you when the meat has reached its final temp. It did this with a nice loud alert sound. And finally, it also provides an estimate for how long until your meat is cooked. YMMV on this, I noted that it didn't behave perfectly with a pellet grill since they go through such wild temp swings. I'm going to try a standard gas grill next and see if it maintains a more accurate estimate of cook time. My only real knock on it was with the instruction manual. I had to dig through it to try and figure out its max temp. And more importantly, was it dishwasher safe? Happy to say that after a quick google search I was able to determine that it is IP67 and dishwasher safe. I would and have already recommended this to others.

I've been grilling for over 40 years and have used a variety of methods to ensure the meats that I grill come up to the proper temperature. Most recently, I've used a quick temp probe which gives me a decent gage of how the meat is doing, but it has limitations. I have seen a lot of information about the next generation of temperature probes with wireless technology so I tried the ThermoPro Twin TempSpike. I've already grilled several items with it and I'm fascinated at how you can monitor what is going on as the meat comes up to the right temp. I find by having two temp spikes that I'm able to monitor two different sizes of meat. If I'm cooking four steaks on the grill, you rarely have all of the steaks be a uniform size. Having two probes allows me to put one probe in a larger cut of meat and another probe in the smaller cut. This helps me keep from overcooking the smaller cuts of meat. Setup of the temp spikes was very easy. They paired right away with the base station as well as the app. The app could be a bit more intuitive when it comes to customizing a temp or finding the right "doneness" temp for each type of beef, pork or chicken. Other than that, I was able to navigate my way around the app after a few tries. Grilling technology has come a long way. The TermoPro makes it a lot easier to grill these days - especially with the price of fine cuts of meat.

I have used the ThermaPro Twin TempSpike meat thermometer and have been quite pleased with it. The packaging was adequate, ensuring the thermometer arrived in good condition. Setting up and using the device was straightforward and intuitive, including the charging process, which uses a USB charging cable. The thermometer probe begins reading temperatures immediately upon being removed from its base, a feature I found very convenient. Additionally, the built-in magnets, which allow the device to stick to the cooking equipment, were particularly helpful during use. The thermometer can be monitored with an app on your phone, and doing so allows you to keep track of the temperature without having to be at the oven/grill. This is great for slow-cooking meats as you don’t have to keep going back to the kitchen to check on it. I found this to be very convenient.. Overall, I think that most anyone who regularly uses a meat thermometer would find the ThermaPro Twin TempSpike thermometer a practical and easy-to-use addition to their kitchen.
