txpgapro said:BBQ Galore has them at $39.99 everday. I bought mine for $34.99. The probe wires already shorted out on the first cook. They were to have mailed replacements last Tuesday, but as of today I still don't have them. They did appear very sincere about helping me with the replacements, and were very quick to repsond via e-mail. The distance is misleading as th 30ft range must not have any obstructions including the house. 30ft. is based on line of sight. And the batteries don't last more than one cook if that.
Cruising said:Well I also ordered the ET-73 today from Amazon. I'll let you know how that works out too. I'm hoping.
By the way - where can I find the longer and heavier duty cables?
txpgapro said:Yep, you will have to call them for the long leads.

I have both Bob. And I like both. I grab whichever one seems to fit my mood at the time. But usually if I am going sans Guru I'll grab the Maverick because of the high AND low alarm on the pit probe. You can get high and low alarms on the Nu-Temp but you have to use two seperate probes to do it. Set one for high, one for low.Bob T said:Who has both the Nu-temp and the et-73? Which do you like better. Just curious, I have several Nu-temps and like them. Good range. The only problem I have is there should be an on/off switch to save the batteries.
