That $60 wireless meat probe was a game changer for overnight cooks

I got tired of getting up every 2 hours to check temps during my 12 hour brisket shifts. Grabbed a cheap wireless probe set for $60 off Amazon and it saved me so much sleep. First time I used it I slept 5 hours straight and woke up to perfect bark and a 203 internal temp. The app alerted me when it stalled at 160 so I could wrap it without losing any heat. Anyone else running wireless probes or are you still loyal to the wired ThermoWorks style?

Man, I was the biggest skeptic about those things... figured it was just another gadget that'd die after a few uses. But my buddy shoved one in my hand before a 14 hour pork butt cook and I'll never go back. The app just sits there and tells me the temp without me having to stumble outside half asleep in my boxers. I still keep my old wired ThermoPen for spot checks and searing, but for overnight cooks, the wireless probe is the only way I roll now.
