It does break easily if you grill out a lot. It takes very little to clean it but with a lot of handling of the probe it won't last too long. However, the replacement part was easy to order[...] and cheap to purchase. Well worth it!!

This accurate probe is easy to use. After learning where to place it in your cut of meat the rest is done for you. The probe does not have the longest wear life but the conditions it is used under are harsh. Being able to buy replacements at a reasonable price is a great plus

Loved the talking Grill Alert. It quit, then I went to Brookstone Catalog and found a replacement for the Probe. I ordered, it arrived in only a couple of days, hooked it up and the Grill Alert was like new again. Then I bought one for my daughter and she is very happy to have her Grill Alert back working and talking!

We use the grill alert every time we cook any kind of meat or poultry both in the oven and on the bbq. You can't go wrong with this. We've given many as gifts(with rave reviews) and love it ourselves. As I say, you simply can't go wrong with this product because you are prompted when entree is nearly ready as well as when it's ready. Kudos to Brookstone!
By avodoc from Santa Barbara, CA on 2/8/2008
Pros:
More sturdy looking
Cons:
Last one broke quickly
Describe Yourself:
Avid Griller
I was amazed that the first probe stopped working after carefully using it less than a half dozen times. [...] Brookstone seems to have figured out what the problem was because the connection between the wire and the probe (where it broke) is now much heftier looking. Hopefully it will last longer than the first one.
