Pros
- For a wired option that can be used without an app on the phone, I would recommend the Signals unit.
- Thermoworks Signals is the version with a phone app.
- Personally, if you don't need that "unlimited" range, I would go for the Thermoworks Signals. The receiver has a realistic range of about a third to a half mile.
- I do a lot of competiton cooking and only use my wired probes with my Signals units from thermoworks

Cons
- I currently have a ThermoWorks signals but because of this it often drops the WiFi signal.
- I considered a Smoke Signals unit which has four probes which would be better but uses a USB-C connection to charge the built-in battery and it is not a true USB-C connection. Their USB-C charger puts out 12V which will destroy another t...
- But I have some reservations that it’s a rechargeable battery (12 hours to charge) and proprietary USB-C charger (most other chargers don’t work).

I considered a Smoke Signals unit which has four probes which would be better but uses a USB-C connection to charge the built-in battery and it is not a true USB-C connection. Their USB-C charger puts out 12V which will destroy another true USB-C device and a standard 5V USB-C cable does not charge the unit. BAD, BAD, BAD.

ThermoWorks signals
Probably not on Amazon, but the ThermoWorks Signals or RFX is the one to get.
I have Signals + Billows along with the power bank they sell. The power bank has gotten me through a 24 hour cook. I actually never charge the Signals. I plug it into the bank when cooking with the Billows and it's always charged for me when I reach for it.
On the Signals... I mean charge it, use it, and if you get the battery warning when it gets low plug it in while cooking. Also being able to watch the temp from a computer is a big plus.
