Two Channels. Average Mode. Serious Precision. The ThermoWorks Square DOT is a refreshing twist on the classic DOT alarm thermometer — now with two channels and an innovative air temperature averaging function. Channel 1 works as a standard alarm thermometer for monitoring internal meat temperature. Channel 2 can operate as a second alarm channel or switch to Average Mode, which shows a rolling 15-minute average temperature calculation — perfect for understanding your actual cooking environment rather than just a single-point snapshot. What makes it special: The Average Mode on Channel 2 is the standout feature. Most thermometers show you the temperature at one exact moment, but oven and smoker temperatures fluctuate constantly. Average Mode calculates a rolling 15-minute average starting when your alarm temperature is first reached, giving you a much more accurate picture of what temperature your food is actually experiencing. This lets you adjust in real-time for better, more consistent results on every cook.
