Maverick's remote BBQ thermometers

If standing watch over the grill on a summer afternoon is too hot or time consuming for you, Maverick hopes to make your life a little easier with their remote BBQ thermometers. The three different models all work basically the same, using probes that are inserted into the meat and a wireless receiver that'll give you the temperature from up to 100 meters away, and alert you when the meat has reach the desired level of "doneness" (yes, that's a real term -- watch Good Eats sometime, why don't you?). They'll also work in a conventional oven, for the BBQ deprived. Prices range from $59.99 to $79.99.

Two students in ECE476 made a wireless, talking meat thermometer for a final project. Total cost was about $30. More projects at
