Our full review
ThermoWorks Smoke X2 is a wireless thermometer built for grilling and BBQ, giving pitmasters a reliable way to monitor two temperatures at once with minimal guesswork. Designed for real outdoor cooking, it pairs a compact transmitter with a handheld receiver so you can keep an eye on your meat and cooker temperatures without hovering over the grill. It’s the kind of tool that helps take the stress out of long cooks, whether you’re smoking brisket, roasting a pork shoulder, or managing a hot and fast barbecue session. The Smoke X2 focuses on clear, dependable temperature tracking, which is especially valuable when fire control matters. With dual probe capability, it lets you watch both food and ambient pit temperature at the same time, helping you make better adjustments to vents, fuel, and heat placement. That makes it useful for anyone who wants more consistency from cook to cook, from weekend grillers to serious BBQ enthusiasts who care about hitting exact doneness and maintaining stable cooking conditions. For outdoor cooking, the value of the ThermoWorks Smoke X2 comes from its practical simplicity and accuracy-driven design. It supports longer cooks by letting you step away from the grill while still staying informed, and it fits naturally into the workflow of smoking, roasting, and barbecuing. If you want a wireless thermometer that helps you cook with confidence and keeps temperature monitoring straightforward, the Smoke X2 is a strong fit for the grilling and BBQ setup.
I used the Smoke X2 on a long brisket session and it kept me informed the whole time. The alarms were accurate, and I never had to keep opening the smoker.
Great thermometer for BBQ and it was easy to use right away. I did notice the signal was less consistent when I moved too far from the grill through several walls.
Being able to watch both meat and pit temps at the same time is the biggest advantage. It made my weekend smoking sessions much less stressful.
