We\u2019ve reviewed a lot of different digital cooking thermometers here on King of the Coals, from the fantastic <\/span>Thermapen<\/a> to a range of <\/span>Bluetooth thermometers<\/a>. But what almost all of them have in common is a relatively steep price tag. This is where the Smartro ST54 digital cooking thermometer is looking to stand out, and it does!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s designed well, has a solid build, has a simple to use interface and it\u2019s accuracy is on par with other thermometers that cost multiple times more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Keep reading to find out exactly what makes this one of the best digital cooking thermometers around right now!<\/span><\/p>\n Smartro kindly provided a Smartro ST54 Digital Cooking Thermometer in return for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions herein are my own and are not influenced by the related company in any way.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Smartro ST54 is a dual channel thermometer meaning you can monitor two types of food or you can monitor a smoker\u2019s temperature and the food on the smoker. Whilst this isn\u2019t the same as having multiple channels such as some other thermometers, 2 channels has always been enough for us and always gives enough information for a successful cook.<\/span><\/p>\n This thermometer is also completely oven safe and comes programmed with preset temperature ranges so you can set it and forget it to then be alerted by the in built alarms. However, it still has the ability for you to set the temperature according to your own personal taste, so you\u2019re not limited to just the presets.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the alarms, the ST54 grill thermometer has a timer setting as well. There are countdown and count-up options with a maximum cooking timer of up to 999 minutes and 59 seconds. Then the alarms work as you\u2019d expect, if the time is up or the probe reaches the set temperature, an alarm will beep to alert you.<\/span><\/p>\n As you can see from the photos, there is a large backlit LCD screen that displays the oven, grill, smoker and food temperature using large, clear numbers which are easy to read in any light setting and when viewing from most angles.<\/span><\/p>\n Included with the Smartro ST54 are two 6\u2033 long, waterproof probes. They have a right-angle bend for easy retraction from food and a food grade stainless steel tubing that makes them durable enough to survive up to 572\u00b0F (300\u00b0C).<\/span><\/p>\n One of the features it doesn\u2019t have is an accompanying display that can be taken away from where you are cooking. For example, the <\/span>Thermopro TP 20<\/a> has an additional display that hooks up to the main thermometer body. It\u2019s able to display all the information you need and you can take it around with you so you always have that information. The Smartro doesn\u2019t have this. All the information is on a single display. But, the Smartro does have a feature that well and truly makes up for any lacking additional display: it\u2019s price. The Smartro ST54 is around $25! That\u2019s about 60% cheaper than the Thermopro TP 20!<\/span><\/p>\nWhat\u2019s Included with the Smartro Cooking Thermometer<\/b><\/h2>\n
