Trusted Because Temperature Matters
Maverick was built around a simple idea: temperature matters.
For serious grillers and smokers, it’s the difference between hoping for a good result and knowing you’ll get one. Between frustration and consistency.
Maverick exists to give cooks that control—helping you cook with confidence, trust your process, and deliver results worth sharing.
The company began in 1981.
Founded in Edison, New Jersey, with a line of electric barbecue grills designed for home use.
From the start, the focus was on helping people cook outdoors with more consistency and better results. As grilling evolved, so did the need for more precise tools.
That need led Maverick in a new direction.
Maverick expanded into cooking thermometers with a clear purpose.
To help grillers and smokers monitor temperature accurately throughout the cooking process, especially during long cooks where timing alone is not enough.
Throughout the 1990s, the brand helped reinforce the importance of temperature in safe cooking.
Working with the USDA, Maverick contributed to educating consumers on proper cooking temperatures and the role thermometers play in achieving them.
This helped establish temperature as a standard in both safety and performance.
As outdoor cooking became more advanced, Maverick continued to innovate.
The company became a pioneer in wireless thermometer technology, developing systems that allowed grillers and smokers to monitor temperature remotely. This made it possible to manage long cooks with greater precision, without staying at the grill.
That innovation helped define how modern barbecue is done.
