A reliable and accurate thermometer is a MUST-HAVE for grilling and barbecue. Professional chefs and pitmasters rely on two different types of thermometers. The instant-read thermometers and wireless bbq thermometers on this page have been tested and approved by myself and the Weber Kettle Club community.
Looking for a Wireless BBQ Pit probe or wifi thermometer? Just scroll down. We’ve separated the list of best grilling thermometers into instant read and Wireless Pit Probes
Instant-Read Thermometers
Instant thermometers are used to test the internal temps of your food. Essential for grilling the perfect medium-rare steak and preventing over or under-cooked foods. Speed and accuracy are important here.
Wireless BBQ Thermometers
Wireless BBQ pit probes and wireless thermometers have changed the way we barbecue. Gone are the sleepless nights of checking pit temps every 45 minutes. These wireless thermometers are great for long cooks like turkey, pork butt, brisket, and ribs. These thermometers are left in the grill or smoker and will wirelessly report your temps and even alert you if temps are too high or low!
what about tappecue?
new tappacue touch just launched. i did a presale of it . its awsome! wifi compatibale. add friends to see your cooks anywhere.
i open the app and see temps from anywhere.
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll have to check it out. I have their original Tappacue and it was just not user-friendly enough to be on a recommendation list. Maybe their new unit is better!
Has the Weber igrill2 been reviewed and is it better or worse than the above?
I don’t recommend the igrill or any other bluetooth options. Bluetooth isn’t designed for long-range communication and phones aren’t at all convenient.
Folks, you gotta try the Fireboard. Spendy, yes. Reliable, feature filled, and way, way cool. I own one (no other interest) and I ‘ve owned the thermpro and the maverick: there is no comparison. The Fireboard is spendy, but wow, what a great piece of equipment.
Cheers.
Thanks Guy
I left the Fireboard off of the list because both of mine died after less than 15 months of use 🙁
I enjoyed them while they worked though.
