I had an old candy thermometer that I used to use that was my wife’s. It was bulky and took a long time to get up to temp. This thing gets up to temp immediately telling you what temperature your meat is at. The probe can be opened to various angles so it’s very ergonomic and comfortable to use. It’s also long so you don’t have to stick your hand right down by the fire. Also, something super simple, but very convenient is that it gives you the meat temperatures you need right on the unit itself so you don’t have to keep consulting your phone to see what you temp should be cooking your pork chop to. Great purchase at a cheap price for something that works extremely well. The numbers light up to for easy reading also.n 11 foot umbrella. The material repels water. There is a rod inside to help put the cover in place. The top is wide to fit the folds of umbrella. I had a cover in the past that was narrow and pointed and would not fit the umbrella top. There is a side zipper and adjustable cord to close the bottom tightly. This is a very good umbrella cover for the money.
