Pros
- About $40 on Amazon for a probe TempPro lists at $69.99 on its own store
- TempPro prints the condition behind the range figure: the 500 ft is open air, and a lid cuts it
- A 48-hour probe battery by the maker, comfortably longer than an overnight smoke
- Sold by TempPro, with three years of warranty if you register it
Cons
- Needs about 3 inches in the meat: "Only could work on a turkey or massive meat", one owner says, and a salmon owner could not get it deep enough
- TempPro's own page rates the ambient sensor to 572°F and names its TP970 and TP972 as the 1,050°F models, while this listing claims a 1,050°F handle
- One owner quotes TempPro support confirming the probe has one internal sensor, against product photos that show three
- Disconnects are the dominant complaint, and its Amazon base carries reviews from the earlier TempSpike
Connection and insertion depth. "Probe will not stay connected", "doesn't go very far with connection wise", "Need to insert 3” into meat or it doesn't work", and an owner who says TempPro support confirmed "TP960 Black only has 1 internal sensor".
