Source: insidehook.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by graymatterlifting.com. Model-identity check: both fetched pages are dated reviews explicitly of the original "CHEF iQ Smart Thermometer," not the successor "iQ Sense" — InsideHook (Dec 20, 2022) states the original's internal food range "32-225 degrees," "accurate within 1 degree Fahrenheit," "40-hour continuous probe," "heat-resistant up to 572 degrees," a "200 feet" manufacturer-claimed range, a single probe + Smart Hub in the box, and a price of "$100"; Gray Matter Lifting (Oct 3, 2023) corroborates the 40-hour probe, ±1°F accuracy, 572°F heat resistance, and the Bluetooth-or-WiFi hub, and explicitly notes a later 2024 charging-case upgrade — confirming this is the earlier generation, distinct from the iQ Sense (5 sensors, 32-212°F internal, 1000°F, 70hr). No live manufacturer page exists for this exact original model (chefiq.com now redirects to the iQ Sense line and Best Buy's original CQ60-1-SET listing bot-blocked the fetch), so source.url is the dated InsideHook review and corroboration.url the dated Gray Matter Lifting review; responseTimeSec and weightGrams are null (not disclosed / not applicable to a continuous wireless probe), waterResistanceRating is "none" as no IP rating is published.
