This is to help out our new member Cortez. He wants the info on both and any suggestions you have regarding one or the other.
I have the ET-73 and I like it. It did take 2 units before I got one that worked to the advertised description however. There was a bad batch of Rx and Tx but I think that has all be cleared up by now. At least I haven't heard of any recent hang-up's from anyone.
The Maverick is a dual probe system and you can monitor the meat temp and the smoker temp at the same time. Also, it has a high/low pit temp alarm and a hi meat temp alarm. Also includes a count up/down timer.
I like it, it helped me stay clam on overnight cooks when I was a newbie! Now, I use it more for the meat temp than the pit temp.
I'll let someone else talk about the Nu-Temp. By the way, the Maverick is $45-$50 depending on where you get it for the complete system...also, there customer service is very good!!
