Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Maverick ET-75 Rotisserie ThermometerCustomer Review: Good in theory... be willing to modify your grill. Summary: 3 Stars
I'll start my review with five stars, because if this unit works as advertized it should be nothing short of AWESOME.
Being an avid griller with a new rotisserie, I really got excited when I found the Maverick remote Rotisserie unit - and I couldn't wait for it to arrive. Imagine my disappointment when I realized that neither of the two collars supplied with the unit would work with my grill, which is a new Weber Genesis. Considering the market share that Weber currently enjoys, I'd think it would be a priority for Maverick that their product would work with the most popular and widely used grills - but I guess not. I could see that both collars were too large to fit in the rotisserie "receiver" built into my grill cabinet - and my obvious, but cringe-worthy solution was to take after my brand new grill with a drill and enlarge the hole to fit the Maverick collar. Before taking this drastic action, I contacted Customer Service at Maverick and received a prompt and courteous reply the next day... yah, just drill out a bigger hole on your new grill. Minus one star.
OK, well I've had this unit for over a month now, but I haven't been willing to go after my grill with a drill just yet - but I have used the digital probe thermometer and tested out the remote capabilities. After installing the supplied batteries and getting the unit up and sending, I poured a glass of water and checked the temperature readings against a few of my other non-remote digital probe thermometers (yah, I'm geeky that way) and found that the temperature of the Maverick seemed to be in agreement with the others. Plus one star.
I inserted the probe into a tri-tip roast that had been resting on the counter top for several hours and got a reading in the low 60s. Believable. After grilling on one side for about 30 minutes, the temp had come up to the high 90s and it was time to flip. Upon turning the roast over, the thermometer seemed to stall out - rising only about a degree and a half over the next 20 minutes. What the heck??? Well, I pre-heated the grill on High and then turned it down to med-low before putting the roast on to begin with, so maybe most of the heat transfer came from the grates to begin with? Anyhow, I turned the grill up to medium and kept watching.
Now, I should talk a little bit about the set-up here. On my first attempt at "remote" grilling, I have the sending unit and the receiver approximately 25' apart, line of sight, but with a sliding glass door between them.
OK, back to the show... so after another 15 or so minutes and the temperature totally stalling out on the receiver, I picked it up and took it over to the grill to inspect my roast - w
