there are several thousand existing variants of "wireless oven/smoker thermometers"

so the 'fund me in advance' is aahhh, seriously,,,, like "can we talk?" questionable.

 

vapor variety software promising to measure / predict t,u,w,x,y,z,,,,, thanks, but I'll wait.

 

how do electronics survive oven temps?  -  well, that's another question.

what happens when the battery dies mid use?  - well, that's another question.

does it have a battery indicator:  "Your battery will die before the roast is finished." - well, that's another question.

if one sets the alarm for 135'F, how does the device know you're using a 60 watt light bulb and it will take 20 hours to reach that temp vs a 550'F broil oven and it'll take 20 minutes to reach that temp, hence the battery life is "good"

 

i have similar questions but as to the last it’s got several temp sensors in it so it knows the temp in the middle, the temp at the surface, and the temp of the cooking environment. presumably it assumes the latter will be static. 

edit: i see that @ChefChrisYoung is browsing the thread so perhaps he’ll chime in 🙂 

edit edit: fun 404 image on their site (which, incidentally, is well done).
