Slide the sleeve onto the end and it becomes a longer handle. You get extra distance between your knuckles and a hot grate or flare-up, which makes checking a full grill of burgers far more comfortable.

Reaching into the heat over a charcoal grill to read a tiny display is how forearm hair gets singed. The Taylor 806GW was built for the grill. Its protective sleeve slides onto the end and becomes a handle extension, so your hand stays farther from the fire, and recommended food temperatures are printed right on it. Press Hold to lock the reading, pull the probe out and read the number in comfort. The waterproof body handles rain, marinade and the rinse afterward.
Key Features
- Grill-ready reach: the sleeve attaches as a handle extension to keep your hand back from the heat.
- Doneness guide on board: recommended food temperatures are printed on the sleeve for quick reference.
- Hold the reading: press Hold to freeze the temperature, then read it away from the grill.
- -40 to 450 F: covers frozen foods through high-heat grilling, in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
- Waterproof build: an O-ring seals the battery door against water.
- Recalibration: set it to 32 F in an ice slush whenever you want to confirm accuracy.
- Treated sleeve: a coating inhibits bacterial growth on the plastic sleeve surface.
What's Included
In the box: one Taylor 806GW waterproof digital thermometer, its sleeve that doubles as a handle extension, and a CR2032 lithium coin battery.
Before You Buy
- It is a spot-check thermometer. Insert the probe at least 1 in into the food and give the reading about 10 seconds to settle. Do not leave it in the food on a closed grill.
- It runs on a lithium coin battery. Keep CR2032 batteries away from children; a swallowed coin battery can cause severe injury. Make sure the battery door is fully closed.
- Hand-wash only. Wash the stem with hot, soapy water and wipe the head with a damp cloth; keep it out of the dishwasher.
Perfect For
- Burgers, steaks and chicken on a gas or charcoal grill
- Smoked meats checked at the end of the cook
- Pork chops and sausages that need a safe internal temperature
- Tailgates, campsites and backyard cookouts
- Weeknight pan cooking and roasts
Care & Use
- Insert the probe at least 1 in into the thickest part of the food.
- Press Hold to lock the number before you pull the probe out.
- Clean the sleeve and probe before and after each use.
- Replace the CR2032 battery when the display dims, with the + side facing up.

Why a grill thermometer needs reach
The cheat sheet comes along
Recommended food temperatures are printed right on the sleeve. No phone, no chart taped inside a cabinet, just a quick look at the handle to see what number the chicken or pork should reach.
Read it away from the smoke
Press Hold and the display freezes the temperature. Pull the probe out, step back from the smoke, and read the number at your own pace before deciding whether dinner needs a few more minutes.

How does a grill-ready digital thermometer compare?
vs. a dial meat thermometer
Dials are hard to read through smoke. A digital display with Hold gives a clear number you can check after you step back.
vs. a short pocket thermometer
Short pocket models put your hand right over the coals. The 806GW sleeve adds reach as a handle extension.
vs. the poke and press test
Firmness changes with the cut and thickness. A temperature reading tells you when meat is actually done.
Fits your grill kit
A slim probe thermometer whose sleeve stores the tip or extends the handle.
- Probe depth
- at least 1 in into the food
- Sleeve
- Doubles as a handle extension
- Hangs with the tongs and spatula in your grill caddy.
- Slips into an apron pocket with the sleeve covering the tip.
