These are absolutely great! I’ve been using mine for several months, and it’s accurate, measures six separate temperatures all at once , works perfectly with my android phone, connects reliably and holds the connection, and it’s easy to operate. I’ve been using it mostly in my smokers, and it works very well. It allows you to set timers as well as alarms for temperature, and even provides a running graph of what the temperature has been!
I’ve been happily using this for almost a year now, in conjunction with the app on my iPhone as well as solo, without the app. Both methods work quickly and smoothly. Over the years I’ve been through many thermometers, mostly in the low to moderately-priced arena, and I’ve regretted purchasing just about all of them. They all of a sudden no longer function at all, or worse, give me a significantly inaccurate reading. I’ve found the accuracy on this one to be spot-on, even when compared in little side-by-side tests with my heated Sous Vide water and a friend’s ThermoPro. I use it with my meats in my pellet smoker, charcoal grill, and sometimes when spot-checking oven-roasted meats. One word of advice: DO NOT be a newb like me and believe the probe cover AND gray winder can BOTH survive 425 degree heat. Instead, unsnap the winder from the probe cover and put aside! Once this is done, it is very durable! Great buy!
I also have been using this all summer and I will not grill without it. It works great with out without the phone app. I like the app, click on what kind of meat it is, click how you like it cooked. wait till the alarm goes off, and eat. it’s perfect.
This continues to be one of my best Woots of all time, both in terms of value for the money and for how well it works. Using these probes while grilling has really taken all the “stress” out of having to deliver 4 different steaks at 4 different temps to the dinner table. It makes it fun and, most importantly, it just WORKS.
I already bought one, so it’s probably too late, but how far will this connect to the bluetooth? Asking for real world experience, vs ‘the specification says foo’.
The range is whatever you get with Bluetooth on your phone. Test the range you get by linking with another phone via Bluetooth. The extent of that distance will be similar to that of the thermometer.
As others have said, this is a great product for your run-of-the-mill backyard BBQer.
