For those looking for a more affordable solution, I'd highly consider the CDN DTQ450X.
Why?
1. America's Test Kitchen recommended is as the next best thermometer, and the best of the budget ones.
2. In real world testing, it's nearly identical to the thermapen. Take a look at this thread:

3. It's only $18 on Amazon vs. $70-$90 for the thermapen

Anyway, I'm sure it's not quite as good as the thermapen, but at 1/4 the cost and excellent reviews, it's worth considering.
The CDN model above is just as accurate as the Thermapen. Multiple reviews, including Thermapens own website show that the ONLY difference is the time it takes to read the temperature. The Thermapen will read it about 1-3 seconds faster. Unless you are one of the rare individuals who needs this, the CDN is a better buy at 1/5 the cost.

Quote : Summary: DTQ450x is about 1-2 seconds slower than the TP, but only when making huge swings of nearly 100F. For our purposes, they are equal in read speed. Accuracy at ice and boiling are good and it tracks almost perfectly with the TP in the mash/sparge ranges.

Yep, one of the best kitchen gadgets I've ever purchased. I actually keep two - one for outdoor BBQ and one for the kitchen.
Love, love, love my thermapen. Once you cook with one, you will never go without.
@OP: One tip - you might want to include the $5.99 shipping in your title/post since it's a flat rate for pretty much everyone.
