    We love our Thermapen. It's going on 4 years old and we haven't even replaced the battery.

    The company has a a whole line of quality thermometers.

      I wonder if there's an indwelling that I could use.

        That’s what I have. If you want something to keep on the steak I like my Inkbird. Has Bluetooth so you can monitor on your phone, handy for long cooks. Has 4 probes so you can monitor the temp in your smoker or oven too.

          Also I would avoid ThermPro products. The ones I’ve had have been unreliable.

                It is a wired one. I’m not convinced of the longevity of wireless probes at 400F. The wires are kind of a pain but I’m used to it.

                  I have an indwelling wired probe that I use for turkey, etc.

                  That might do the job.

                    Mik, are the probes wireless? I’ve tried using the probes in a slow cook on the grill, but they always wind up coming into contact with a hot surface that blows the lead.

                      Yes, that's the one. The One version (more $) is faster but I find 2 to 3 seconds completely acceptable.

                          BTW, I have a NIST certified thermometer. I think a new one is between $500-$600.

                            I use a thermapen too.

                            If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

                              I made steak last night. Convinced me to get a new thermometer.

                              Overcooked it a bit (thermometer was inaccurate), but it sure is pretty....

                                  It was gorgeous - just overcooked. It came out medium, maybe even a bit beyond that. Thermometer inserted into the side of the steak said 120, and I set it to rest at that time.

                                      I was looking on Amazon, seems that there's no such beast (on Amazon).

                                      THere's "ThermoPro", but not Thermapen or Thermopen.
