iGrill2
« on: May 20, 2016, 10:19:27 AM »
So after reading all about how you gotta have a digital thermometer, I started shopping online for one.  I thought the igrill mini or the igrill2 would be nice, because of the bluetooth app.  I didn't want to spend $100 though, so I was going to buy the mini for $40.  Went to Lowe's on the way to work one day to pick it up, and I spontaneously went for the iGrill2.  The large display and having two probes was too tempting :D

I work in a chemical lab, and right when I got to work, instead of working I took it out and tested it.  We have a bath that is calibrated at 100.0 C.   Starting in Fahrenheit, one probe was stable at 211 and the other one fluctuated between 210 and 211.  I switched to Celsius and both probes were stable at 100.0 C. 

It's a really cool toy.  I've used it to monitor my grill temp and to monitor boneless chicken breasts and steaks since I bought it and they turned out great.  I used to overcook chicken all the time going by the cut and look method, and making sure it was overcooked so I could make sure I didn't under cook it! 

Also with the app on my phone I went all over my house on the inside and I never lost connection - I've read some reviews that said the bluetooth range was short, but it worked for me just fine. 

If you have a little more patience than me and want one, buy it on Amazon and you can get 4 probes for the same price I paid.  The probes I've seen online are $25, so I would have to pay 150 for one with 4 probes, if I eventually buy two more.

Got mine iGrill2 on ebay with 4 probes for about $90

That thing is BADASS.  Totally worth it with the bluetooth, and set temps
