I have been using the SMOKE for several months now.
Find much easier to set than the Mavericks I have.
Probes are waterproof..I'm still cautious when cleaning. No need to seal wire where in goes into probe as this has been done by Thermoworks.
Little buggy if you use only one probe as the unit keeps flashing no probe.
Remote only has neck string...does not have an easel stand. The sender unit has stand and also magnets on back.
Alarm could be a little louder...might also be because I have old ears that don't hear as well any more.

Definitely worth the few dollars more than the Maverick.
