Choosing among BBQ thermometers & controllers can be tricky when two entries carry the same product name but differ in condition and price. Here, the ThermoMaven G2 appears in Open Box and New forms, so the decision is less about choosing between two thermometer designs and more about deciding which purchase setup fits your priorities.
Quick verdict
Both entries use the same ThermoMaven G2 title and model, so this is not a feature-versus-feature battle. The New entry is the sensible starting point because it is marked New and has the lower listed price. The Open Box entry deserves attention when the specific inclusions and monitoring details in its description matter to your cooking setup. In short, decide on condition first, then use the product details to break the tie.
Listed comparison

| Listed price | USD 49.99 | USD 44.99 |
| Model | ThermoMaven G2 | ThermoMaven G2 |
Where each listing wins
Open Box wins when the named inclusion details are the deciding factor. Its description specifically mentions a smart base station and dual waterproof probes, giving it a concrete reason to appeal to shoppers planning remote BBQ, smoker, grill, or oven monitoring. The tradeoff is its Open Box condition and higher listed price, so this is a focused choice for someone who wants those inclusion details rather than simply choosing the New entry.
New wins when condition is the first filter. It is marked New, and its core title matches the Open Box entry, so its advantage is a straightforward condition choice rather than a separate feature package. The lower listed price reinforces that practical advantage. For a shopper who wants the named ThermoMaven G2 without selecting Open Box, this is the simpler route.
Product notes
ThermoMaven G2 Wireless Meat Thermometer - Open Box
The Open Box ThermoMaven G2 is the entry to consider when remote-monitoring details matter more than condition alone. Its description calls out WiFi and Bluetooth monitoring, a rechargeable design, and a mobile app with alerts and presets. Those specifics give remote cooking a concrete role for BBQ, smoking, grilling, or oven use. The limitation is straightforward: this entry is marked Open Box while the other ThermoMaven G2 entry is marked New. At USD 49.99, choose it when those named monitoring details justify accepting that condition.
ThermoMaven G2 Wireless Meat Thermometer - New
The New ThermoMaven G2 gives shoppers a simpler condition decision. It is marked New and listed at USD 44.99, while the title identifies a two-probe wireless meat thermometer with WiFi and Bluetooth for BBQ and grill use. Its listed features include digital, instant-read, easy-clean, leave-in, oven-safe, and remote-read functions. The limitation is that this entry is not a different model or feature tier; it is the same named ThermoMaven G2 comparison point. Choose it for New condition and the lower listed price, not because the title establishes a different monitoring system.
Final choice by use case
- For the simplest purchase decision: Choose the New ThermoMaven G2. New condition is the clearest differentiator, and the listed price spread is $5 in its favor.
- For inclusion-focused shoppers: Choose the Open Box ThermoMaven G2 if the description's smart base station and dual waterproof probes are the details you specifically want.
- For a feature comparison: Call it a tie. Both entries carry the same title, model, and listed feature set, so neither has a clear advantage from the digital, instant-read, easy-clean, leave-in, oven-safe, or remote-read labels.
- For BBQ or smoker monitoring: Either entry matches the named wireless, two-probe WiFi/Bluetooth format; condition and the listed price are the practical deciding points.
