I have a couple of these and the probes keep going bad, is there a multipack of probes available? The only replacements I’ve seen on here cost $10

I have had one for years without a problem - but I just wipe the end of the probe and dry it to clean it. I guess, keeping out of the sink is a good idea. I will keep that in mind. I did have one fail after many years and I just bought three replacement probes for $15 by Calculs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GMF5F5J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does this give an "instant" reading - like can you take a turkey out of the oven, insert the probe and immediately see the meat temperature?

The temperature on this and most "instant read oven and grilling thermometers takes makebe 2 or 3 seconds to settle. RTD sensors used on all of these have to settle - RTDs settle quickly. What you see on TV - instant - the "moment it's inserted" is edited. None I've seen will take more than 5 seconds. The time delay is due to probe mass - metal takes a second or two to heat up the internal sensor. I've calibrated thousands of assorted tamp gages - none is really "Instant" -that is the very moment of contact. Thermocouples are even slower. Note that the RTD resistance and curve (change over time) is not the same on all probes. They can be anything from 10-ohm to 1000 ohm depending on the accuracy. So one brand probe typically will not plug into another brand temp meter and work - even though nearly all use the 3.5mm (1/8") phone style plug. Look for a metal braided probe like ThermoPro or others. Most fail where the lead enters to probe and sharp bends will destroy the internal wires easily and quickly - DON'T COIL THOSE. These metal covered probes won't coil easily - store them loosely.

Can I use this for my grill?

Well, it says GRILL Thermo right in the item title... I wouldn't leave it in the food being measured in any case. The good thing about this thermo is that you can set the base off to the side and just probe the meat with the pointer while keeping the main unit away from the grill heat. That is a real plus, because the grill even down to 350 is Quite hot and I don't like scorching my hands and arms trying to get a reading. I'm going to get one.

Is there a way to set the temp at what I want on the thermometer and will an alarm go off when hits the temp I set it at?

Yeah, what you’ve described is the main function of this thermometer. You turn it on, and hold the temperature arrow to the direction of your desired temp. If your temp is say, 225, as soon as thermometer reading hits 225 or above, thermometer will beep loudly until you change the target temp again or turn it off. Works well for this purpose. Though the build quality on this is not great, I would spend a bit more and go for a ThermoWorks Dot which is far better built
