Imagine your turkey is on your barbecue and while it cooks, you can hang out and have a drink with friends because you aren't concerned about overcooking the turkey. Why? You went to Barbecues Galore to pickup a wireless, Bluetooth or WIFI-connected, digital meat thermometer that notifies you when the turkey is cooked.

For those of you who are veteran pitmasters, scroll down to see our "Best Wireless Thermometers" selection below.
What is a Wireless or Remote Thermometer?
Simply put, it's a thermometer that you can use without a direct connection from your food to the reading display, due to a transmitter to a receiver.
What are the Different Types of Wireless Thermometers?
There are two notable types of wireless thermometers. The first and most basic type uses a transmitter and receiver, in which you will see your temperatures on the receiver as you plug a thermometer probe into the transmitter. These are now considered to be a tad outdated, as people generally use the next type of remote thermometer. Speaking of, the second type of wireless thermometer that's more commonly used are the Bluetooth and/or WIFI connection thermometers, so that they can be conveniently connected to smart phones through their own app. The Brander Barbecue Brain 3.0 is a perfect example of this.
Why Should I Use A Wireless Thermometer Over The Instant Read Thermometer I Already Have?
Remember that opening your barbecue lid slows down the cooking process as the stored heat creating the ambient temperature will be lost. That being said, some of the best instant read thermometers still take up to 3 seconds to read internal temperatures accurately. By the time you get a reading, all your ambient heat will dissipate into the air. You'll also likely have to do this a few times, which can only tediously add time to your cook. So, a wireless thermometer also provides peace of mind in addition to optimal temperature tracking.
