The ones I have are the model RAR186. The BBQ one that will multitask is
the AW129.

Make sure that the model you look at says "wireless" remote as there are
some with cable attached (to the main monitor) and are not wireless.

My preference (and only because I own one) is an Oregon Scientific
thermometer with remote sensor. You can put the sensor right in the bag
and not have to open the bag to check the temp.

At home I use it in the refrigerator drawer and it transmits the
temperature about 30 feet with no problems. I keep the drawer between
38.5-40°
You can find those on Ebay at times for a decent price.

I’ve used the styrofoam cooler, and also my own Coleman Extreme. With
the Coleman cooler, I use a regular fridge thermometer and wrap it with
the box in a wash cloth, and put it on top of the ice. I check after
half an hour, and if it’s getting too cold, I move it away from the ice.
If it’s too warm, I remove the washcloth. I check the temp each time we
stop, too. It’s a juggling act, but you get the hang of it after a
while. The thermos works wonders, as it’s easier to just put ice in it
when you need to. (I’ve also used the thermos, but if I don’t have room
in the car (it’s a big thermos<g>), I just use the Coleman cooler.

Just curious, anyone go backpacking with their byetta?
