Refrigerator/Freezer monitor/alarm recommendations
I have been searching for a wireless temperature monitor for our refer, but reading reviews it seems most are junk. I hate to keep opening the door to check the temperature.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a monitor/alarm with wireless sensors that actually works? Range is not an issue as the display will be mounted above the refer.
Thanks!

No real suggestions but I simply taught myself to check to temp when I open the door to get a beer or whatever.

Thanks Don,
I always check it when getting something but recently had an issue where I wanted to watch it closely for awhile and didn't want to add heat to keep checking the temp.

Check: www.thermoworks.com. I have a smoker and use their "Smoke" thermometer the leads from the probes are very thin medal and the door should, I would think remain closed tight enough to keep the heat out. So, what are you brewing? (I know beer). Whole Grain? Extract? I do extract but I don't brew in the summer in Reno.

I use these little button sensors on my motocamping trips and have used for fermentation tracking but I don't think they work without internet.
I use a thermo works pen thermometer in my mash All grain BIAB. I usually brew 2 batches simultaneously. Always an IPA, and the other is Stout, porter, Helles, red ale of some form.

This is one I was looking at however the reviews didn't seem great. How has your experience been?

I picked up a couple more of these little guys but prefer a mounted display. I may try the Accurite model @WNY Bullet posted.
