By:

Bill McGrath, AmazingRibs.com Chief Thermometer Reviewer

Read our review of the ET-736, Maverickโ€™s latest entry into the remote thermometer market, and follows the very successful ET-732 and ET-733 wireless models. This unit falls short in terms of performance and features, and we do not recommend it.

Read our review of these big Event Grills which are often purchased for various club, company and church events, where they may be used by a variety of cooks who may or may not take very good care of them.
