Liked it while it lasted
Pros
Good for monitoring food temperature without having to open up the BBQ/oven and release that retained heat.
Simple to use.
Cons
Probe not subjected to any kind of abuse yet died after about a year. I looked into purchasing a replacement part on the website for Acurite, but it appears they only deliver to Australia, US and Canada.
Not really compatible with a Weber kettle - I had to delicately balance the meter on the moving handle For the BBQ because there is no metal surface cool enough to use the magnet attachment.
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.
