I'm getting set for my build and planning to use the et-733. Good reviews from smoking meat forums and good price. Inexpensive probes too. I've got the pieces for a 4'x2' reverse flow in my garage. Just need to spend some time with the welder now.

I'm using the Thermoworks Dot. I hang the probe through the top vent of smoker when I have fish hanging on hooks. I lay the probe on top racks of ribs with the tip raised off the meat by using folded aluminum foil.
The Dot also works very well for the grilling.

I use the iGrill2, like it a lot. I hang out on the Big Green Egg forum. Mavericks get trashed there. It really comes down to how well you treat the thermometer. If you mistreat it, it will break on you.

I use this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AAJX4QI/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
Maverick ET732. It's currently unavailable (probably went to a newer model I got mine in mid 2013) works great.
Depending on you're rig you'll still spend plenty of time hovering over it making adjustments aka drinking.

I have used this for the last year, It has worked great I like the high and low temp alarm and the wireless capability

That is what I have used for the last couple of years on my barrel smoker. Works fantastic and I get a read on where it is so long as I have my phone.

I agree!
I've been using my maverick and now a inkbird for keeping track of temps when it matters. Ribs and chicken get the simple treatment but briskets and pork butts get the thermometer.
