ThermoWorks SmokeX and Signal both use a 12v usbc power adapter. My partner fried her phone on it once due to seeing the cable and assuming it was a normal charger.


I thought my ThermoWorks Signal had a dead/defective battery after trying to charge it on a standard USB power adapter. Device booted up and and functioned fine, except the battery wouldn't charge. Plugged it into the provided adapter and it started charging again.

Thanks for the PSA, I'll be sure to get that adapter off my kitchen counter right away!
