ThermoWorks Releases RFX Meat Mini Wireless Probe for Smaller Cuts
Key points
- RFX Meat Mini is a shorter version of the RFX Meat probe.
- Designed for smaller cuts of meat, poultry, and fish.
- Features four internal temperature sensors and IP69K waterproof rating.
- Connects via 433MHz radio frequency to an RFX Gateway.
New Shorter Wireless Probe
ThermoWorks has launched the RFX Meat Mini, a compact version of its RFX Meat wireless grilling probe. The original RFX Meat probe, measuring 4.7 inches, was often too long for smaller food items, requiring a minimum immersion of 3.15 inches. The RFX Meat Mini addresses this by offering a shorter design suitable for smaller cuts of meat, poultry, and fish.
Features and Specifications
The RFX Meat Mini retains most features of the full-sized version, including four internal temperature sensors, an IP69K waterproof rating for dishwasher safety, and resistance to temperatures up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Its maximum immersion line is 2.6 inches, with a minimum immersion line of 2.36 inches. The probe comes with a AAA battery-powered charging block, providing over 175 charges.
Battery Life and Connectivity
One notable difference is the battery life: the Mini lasts up to 48 hours on a single charge, compared to over 65 hours for the larger RFX Meat. Both probes utilize a 433MHz radio frequency to connect to an RFX Gateway, which then links to a home network and the ThermoWorks app. This radio frequency connection is less prone to interference from grill or smoker walls than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Application and Impact
The RFX Meat Mini expands the usability of ThermoWorks' wireless probe system to a wider range of cooking applications, particularly for home cooks preparing smaller portions. The 48-hour battery life is sufficient for most home barbecue sessions, making battery longevity a minor concern for typical users.
