There are two paths to barbecue nirvana. You can stand watch over the grill, nursing the meat along with painstaking concern – a quarter-turn here, a dab of sauce there, fretting all the while. Or you can lounge poolside, icy drink in hand, and let the grill fly solo. Just wander over about halfway through, flip everything, then amble back to your chaise. Some may call this approach “lazy”. But we admire its Zenlike calm, its unhurried languor, its easygoing laidbackitude. Why worry? Your barbecue is in good hands with the Maverick Remote BBQ Thermometer & Timer. Just use the controls to tell it how you like your steaks, burgers, dogs, or ribs, and it’ll let you know when they’re ready, from up to 150 feet away.

The wireless probe transmits all the relevant info to the receiver unit, which displays temperature and timer data on its backlit LCD. When your foodstuffs reach your preferred state of consumability, a voice alert pipes up to let you know. Is that it? That’s it.

We know it can be tough for Type A grillers to relinquish control, to trust the fates with their precious barbecue. But piling all that stress on top of all that meat is hell on your heart. And let’s face it: too much meddling from you will probably do more harm than good anyway. The grill knows what it’s doing. Best to just stay out of its way. Go watch a ballgame or something – the Maverick Remote BBQ Thermometer & Timer will call you when it’s time to eat.
