Mrs. CW got me one like this, and it's proven to be really handy.

  1. I have one of those, two remote digital cooking thermometer, and a assortment of analog cooking thermometers. The digital ones I use at the grill and smoker.

    1. Either way, at 85.5 degF that person is in big trouble.

      Incidentally I once read that a report on characteristics of people found recently dead from exposure (recently as in "within hours") in a particular city showed that many decedents had a rectal temperature of 87 deg F (or so, I don't remember exactly, but it was all the same temp). So a researcher became curious as to why this was the case. Was there something special, magical even, about 87F? He did some digging around: Turns out that 87F was the lowest temp marked on the thermometers they used on the corpses.

      Back on topic, I have a similar food thermometer, and it IS very handy.
