Hi!
I'm currently using a cheap non branded thermometer with a probe, which I bought from Amazon, whenever I grill on my Weber Master Touch. It works ok but its quite cheap and one or two features on it don't work consistently (like changing from Celsius to Fahrenheit) so I am looking to get a better one.
I did have my sights on a Maverick, which seem to be highly rated on Amazon, but then I came across this:
https://meater.com/Its basically a single wireless probe, which you put inside the meat, and the tip of the probe obviously reads the meat's internal temperature, however, the probe also has a secondary function in that it also has a thermometer at the end (the black end part) whereby it reads the ambient temperature inside the grill.
The probe connects to your smartphone via an app, via either Bluetooth or WiFi so doesn't need the wired connection associated with 99% of normal probe and temperature units.
A couple of questions:
1. Has anybody seen this before and had experience with it (its £79 for a single probe, which comes with its charging unit)
2. Would I be better off with a Maverick as this 'Meater' probe thing looks a little gimmicky?!
3. ANyone had issues with having their phone near their bbq, for reading temps?!
I've also seen this unit, which looks similar to the Weber iGrill 2 (which I think is over priced) and pretty much does the same exact thing:
