ET73 is around £50. There is another newer model that is more expensive (around £70) that I've heard mixed reports about the probes on, saying that I've never used one my ET73 has given me good service over the years.

There is one other thing I would highly recommend and thats this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Grill-Steve ... 385&sr=8-1, Its so good I have literally worn mine out, I'll need to buy another soon. Have a look through the pages on Amazon. There are pictures every step of the way and everything is so clearly explained its like having somebody there with you. It makes a great starting point.

I have the Maverick and I love it. Cant really fault it.
