The Maverick ET73 Redi-Chek Wireless Remote Smoker Thermometer is a programmable radio-frequency food thermometer and timer specially designed for use in smokers. A remote sensor/transmitter monitors the temperatures of both the meat and the smoking chamber and transmits them up to 100 feet to the displaying receiver so that you can view them from virtually anywhere in your home. Smoking meat, poultry, and fish properly can take a long time. Instead of going out to the smoker to check the temperature over and over, just use the Redi-Chek ET73. If the temperature of the smoking chamber drops too low or rises too high, the receiver sounds an alert and its alarm icon and probe temperatures flash. The alert also sounds and the icon and temperatures flash when the temperature of the meat being smoked exceeds your preset food temperature. Because both smoker and meat temperatures are monitored, chances are your food will be smoked to perfection every time. The ET73 can also be used with an oven or grill while baking or barbecuing, which means fewer trips to the kitchen or grill.

On the transmitter, the food and smoker temperatures are displayed alternately in °F in digits about 7/16 inch tall. On the receiver, the food and smoker temperatures are displayed simultaneously in your choice of °F or °C in digits about 9/16 inch tall. The receiver's LCD panel has a backlight for night viewing.

The Redi-Chek ET73 is easy to use. First, set up your smoker or grill. Then plug the two probes into the transmitter. Insert the food probe into the thickest part of the meat, and clip the smoking chamber probe onto the rack in the chamber. Next, power up the receiver and, within 60 seconds, the transmitter so that registration occurs. On the receiver, set the HI (maximum or target) food temperature to the value for the desired doneness. As an example, we'll use 160°F. This temperature appears in the receiver's food icon display line. Next, set the HI (maximum) smoking chamber temperature. For this example, we'll use 250°F. This temperature appears in the receiver's smoker icon display line. Then set the LO (minimum) smoker temperature value. For this example, we'll use 225°F. Finally, turn on the temperature alerts and set the timer for 2 hours. Clip the receiver onto your belt or pocket, and move up to 100 feet away from the cooking chamber. Go indoors if desired. You are now remotely monitoring your food and smoking chamber temperatures. The receiver beeps and flashes if your meat temperature goes above 160°F or the cooking chamber temperature exceeds 250°F or falls below 225°F. When the 2-hour time period expires, the receiver beeps and an icon flashes for 30 seconds.

The ET73 transmitter and receiver are each powered by two AAA (1.5V) batteries. All four batteries are included These batteries are carbon-zinc heavy duty batteries, but when replacement becomes necessary, we recommend alkaline batteries. The ET73 is covered by a manufacturer's 90-day limited warranty.

Cautions:

• Do not use the stainless steel probes and wires in microwave ovens.

• Do not use the probe sensors and wires above 410°F (210°C) because doing so will deteriorate the wire.

• Do not expose either unit to direct heat or water.

• Always wear a heat-resistant glove to touch the probes or wires during or after cooking.

• Do not submerge the units in water. Clean them with a damp cloth instead.

• Clean the food probe after each use, but do not submerge it in water.
