Weber iGrill2 Bluetooth Remote Thermometer

The iDevices iGrill2 is the successor to the iGrill. It is a Bluetooth-enabled remote thermometer that has two probes, each of which can monitor food or cooker temperature. Currently, there is only an Apple app but an Android app is scheduled for August of 2014. The device can be used without a smart device as a thermometer only. Apple devices must have iOS 7 or later installed.

Normally, thermometers of this type stay on indefinitely. This unit features an auto-off capability that varies with the circumstances. If a probe is inserted and the unit is connected to a smart device, such as an iPhone or iPad, it will not shut itself off. If there is a probe but no connection, it will auto-shutoff in 8 hours. If there is no probe connected and no connection to a smart device, it will shut off after 5 minutes. This will prevent accidental battery depletion.

Using the smart device app, you can select from a list of meat/doneness choices or choose your own setting for each probe independently. An alarm will sound when that setting has been reached. Alternatively, you can set a range of temperatures, and the alarm will sound if the probe senses a temperature above or below the set limits. These settings can be saved.

You can view a graph of temperature vs. time on your smart device, or export a CSV file for plotting in an application such as Microsoft Excel.

In early August of 2014, the manufacturer of this product issued a recall on the Pro Probes that come with the iGrill2. Apparently the probes did not withstand heat as well as they should. If you own this product, you might want to visit their website to determine what steps to take to get replacement probes.

Weber grill thermometer

Sat-Sun 7am - 11pm EST

Sat-Sun 7am-11pm EST

This part is compatible with the following machines:

Removed the thermometer

Install the new one with the bezel below it

Tighten the wingnut on the back of it

Used cell-phone camera to document igniter wire routing, dressing prior to disassembly.

Followed owners manual for connection of igniter wires and used cell phone pictures to dress the wires to keep them out of the way when opening/closing doors.

Changing the thermostat was the most difficult part as the wing-nut was fused on. I ended up breaking the existing thermometer and using a Dremel tool to cut through the shaft of the thermometer to remove the existing one.

The new thermometer's shaft is too large and doesn't fit nicely into the existing "ring". It works, but doesn't look as nice as the original thermometer.

Finally, I checked all gas connections with soapy water to ensure I didn't have any leaks.

Weber grill thermometer

Sat-Sun 7am - 11pm EST

Sat-Sun 7am-11pm EST

This part is compatible with the following machines:

Cleaned all remaining

Installed the new parts I had ordered

All parts fit and worked well

Thank you for being there

Make sure you measure your burners and grates so you are sure on the model number. Know what models have two or three burners as cross burner arm is different.

Again, Make sure you have the right parts when you remove them, check them with the replacement parts.

Weber Igniter was more work because I had to locate instructions online since the part from eReplacementparts.com was exactly what was needed. Took longer to disassemble the old igniter unit than to install the new one but was still less than 30 minutes to complete. Very worthwhile simple project and my spouse can start the grill herself again!

2) Clean the lot, which did take the most of the time

3) Assembled the burner tubes in the case

4) Connected the manifold with the valves to the tubes

5) Put the guards around the connection

6) Put the valve grips back on

2. Reinserted replacement Weber factory thermometer into gas grill cover.

Weber grill thermometer

Here are some photos sent in by TVWB readers showing how they've installed thermometers in their Weber Smokey Mountain Cookers.

As always. click on any of the pictures to view a larger image.

Lid Thermometer Installations

Thermometer Through Cork

A Weber #9815 Replacement Thermometer inserted through a wine bottle cork makes for a simple thermometer installation. Just whittle the end of the cork to fit the hole. Does the cork block one-third of the exhaust vent capacity? Yes. Does that seem to affect cooker performance. No.

Dave Henry offers an alternative through-the-cork method that doesn't block the vent much at all, shown in Photo 2.

Back in 1999, I took the clip from a Taylor candy thermometer, bent it out of shape, enlarged the holes in the clip with a drill, and used it to hold a Trend bi-metal thermometer in the lid vent (Photo 3).

Dean Torges did something similar by drilling two holes in a thin strip of metal and bending it into an S-shaped clip (Photo 4).

Metal Screen Holder

Jon Weinberg fashioned a tube using metal screen material to hold a Weber #9815 Replacement Thermometer in the lid vent. "I've found this method to be excellent and does not involve any drilling or other mod to the cooker. The trick is to overlap the ends of the screen at least one row so the thermometer goes through the overlapped section on top and then a hole on the bottom as it enters the vent hole. It also helps to bend it into a mild triangle so it is less inclined to roll over."

Candy Thermometer Attached To Lid Vent

Don Hilliard attached a candy thermometer to the lid vent. "I only had to drill one hole in the tab and a hole in the thermometer clip. I used a stainless steel wing nut and machine screw (10-24 x 1/2") to attach the clip. I elongated the hole slightly in the clip so that I can squeeze the clip to get the thermometer in and out. The beauty is that the assembly is easily removed, there's only one small hole in the vent tab, and since it's aluminum it won't rust."

Handle As Thermometer Holder

Everett Jones drilled a hole through the lid handle to hold a Weber #9815 Replacement Thermometer.

Everett writes, "I used my best eye-line-of-sight to establish a drilling angle. It would go through the already established screw hole of the handle and to the upper most vent hole. Using a 1/8" bit, I drilled a test hole to verify my line-of-sight. If the angle was off, I just used the 1/8" bit to correct it. After verification, I changed to a 5/32" bit and drilled the hole for the thermometer."

Weber Gas Grill Thermometer In Lid

Dave Stamper installed a Weber #9815 Replacement Thermometer between the top vent and lid handle of his WSM. This is the standard thermometer used on classic Weber Genesis gas grills and is available online for about $14.

Dave put three layers of masking tape over the spot he intended to drill, then pressed a center punch into the tape to make an indentation. This kept the drill bit from wandering. Dave says, "You can make this hole just large enough for the Weber thermometer, but if you drill it a little bigger, it will also accommodate a Polder probe."

Since the thermometer is just inserted through the hole and not fastened to the lid, it can be pulled from the lid and used as an instant-read thermometer to measure the internal temperature of meat. It has a range of 140-550°F.

Threaded Lid Installation

Scot Bogart of Evergreen, CO writes, "I just completed a threaded mounting of a 3" Trend thermometer in my Bullet. I used a Milwaukee 3/4" holesaw to cut a very clean hole with no chipping of the ceramic coating beyond the diameter of the hole. When I threaded the Trend in, it was almost like threads were cut for it by the holesaw. It went in perfectly by hand and fit quite tight by the last turn.

"As you can see by my photo, I made sure not to turn it in past the next-to-last thread as the unthreaded area near the hex head would just rattle loose. I'm smoking chickens with it now and there's no leakage past the threads at all. A perfect fit! This whole process took all of 5 minutes, plus photo time. The holesaw and mandrel cost about $20 at Home Depot."

Drilled Lid Vent Rivet

This thermometer installation is not for the faint of heart! I first learned of it from Ashley Z., and it was later perfected by Sean Flanagan. Both men had the nerve to drill a hole through the aluminum vent rivet to accommodate a Weber #9815 Replacement Thermometer.

Sean writes, "I drilled the rivet from the inside using a 5/32" HSS (high speed steel) bit, resting the outside of the rivet on a piece of inner tube laying over a wood block. I figured the rubber would prevent the rivet from spinning, which seemed to work—no spinning at all. I slipped a little bit of drip irrigation tubing over the thermometer shaft to keep the dial away from the smoke."

Middle Cooking Section Thermometer Installations

Middle Cooking Section Insert

Don Hilliard installed a tube through which a thermometer can be inserted into the middle cooking section. He removed one of the grill strap screws, passed a 1/4" o.d. x 1" aluminum tube though the hole, and fastened the tube inside and out with push-on e-clips.

Don inserts a Weber #9815 Replacement Thermometer (shown here) or a probe thermometer through the tube to measure cooker temperature just below the top cooking grate.

Middle Cooking Section Probe Thermometer Eyelet

The good folks at The BBQ Guru make an eyelet kit that is a permanent replacement for one of the grill strap screws in the middle cooking section. It allows one or more probe thermometers to be passed through the opening into the middle cooking section.

The kit consists of two eyelets (allowing for two eyelet installations), a hex head cap screw, an eyelet flaring tool, a hex nut, and an Allen wrench.

Installation is quite simple:

Remove one of the grill strap screws and discard.
Place the eyelet flaring tool on the hex head screw and insert it through the grill strap hole from the inside of the cooker.
Place the eyelet over the hex head screw from the outside of the cooker and screw on the hex nut.
While holding the hex nut with an adjustable wrench, tighten the screw using the supplied Allen wrench. Do not overtighten to avoid cracking the porcelain enamel finish.

The flaring tool spreads the eyelet, as shown in Photo 17, making a strong mechanical connection that replaces the original screw and nut. Photo 18 shows the neat appearance of the eyelet from outside the cooker. (And yes, that is a blue WSM.)

Middle Cooking Section Mounting

Elvin Giles bought an inexpensive 1/4" threaded barbecue thermometer at The Home Depot and inserted it through one of the grill strap holes, fastening it with a nut.

Access Door Thermometer Installations

Access Door Mounting

In 2004, Jon Weinberg mounted a replacement grill thermometer in the access door, just above the bottom cooking grate. At the time, Jon said, "Much easier drilling (than through the middle cooking section) and easier to recover from if I screw up."

In 2005, Jon provided this follow-up: "I've found this to be practically useless. It measures the temperature of the convective heat going up the sides of the cooker which is totally unrelated to the temperature on the grates. The only useful thing I've found is that it can tell you when your temperature is dropping and you might want to add more charcoal."

Double Thermometer Installations

Lid & Middle Cooking Section

Here's a double thermometer installation done by Gary Davis. Gary installed two 2-1/2" Ashcroft thermometers in his WSM using a knockout punch. He installed one at the edge of the lid and the other in the middle cooking section, both about 1" above the cooking grate.

Gary writes, "Having two thermometers may be a bit excessive as they typically read within 5°F of each other during normal operation of the WSM."

A closer inspection of Gary's photo shows that the lid thermometer appears to extend below the bottom edge of the lid. A thermometer mounted in this location should be far enough above the edge of the lid so it won't hit the ground when you set down the lid.

Lid & Middle Cooking Section With Probe Thermometer Holder

Ken Breit mounted two Trend thermometers in his WSM like Gary Davis did, but he didn't stop there. Ken also added ceramic handles to the middle cooking section and modified the Weber 7401 Tool Holder to act as a remote probe thermometer holder. A wooden block is fastened with screws between the two middle tool holders, then the Maverick wireless remote thermometer transmitter is attached to the block using Velcro. Two holders are still available on either side for hanging tongs.

The Weber iGrill 2 BBQ Meat Thermometer Review and Rating

The Weber iGrill 2 BBQ meat thermometer is a Bluetooth-enabled smart thermometer that allows you to monitor up to four separate temperatures simultaneously making grilling a whole lot easier! Smart cooking and grilling equipment have become a hot trend over the last couple of years. The Weber iGrill 2 meat thermometer is a major leader in this category.

The Weber iGrill 2 BBQ Meat Thermometer Review

Are you an outdoor cooking enthusiast who constantly finds themselves struggling to balance your time while trying to pull off a successful cookout? Have you ever overcooked your food because you were sidetracked trying to make sure everything else was coming along as it should? Do you regularly miss the big play while everyone else is watching the game because you were stuck hovering over your grill? The iGrill wireless cooking thermometer may be your solution to all of this and more.

Product Quick Facts

Four probe capacity; two Pro Meat Probes included.
Bluetooth Smart connection for use with free Weber iGrill App.
Min/max temperature alarms, preset and custom alarms

Weber has a well-regarded line in its iGrill wireless meat thermometers. With the iGrill 2 Bluetooth smart meat thermometer, you get a high-end thermometer with a large range of features.

Sold by Weber, and including their great customer service, the iGrill2 meat thermometer gives you the thermometer you need with the customer service you will glad for if you need it. As with everything Weber, it comes with excellent quality and attention to the details that matter the most. The iGrill 2 offers some of the best features found in wireless grilling gear while staying at an affordable price.

The Weber iGrill 2 BBQ Meat Thermometer With Probe

Step away from the grill or smoker and you can keep an eye on the progress using your smart phone or tablet, which is much more practical while preparing side dishes or for those extra-long cooks.

Being able to keep your hands free, you don’t have to worry about lugging a bulky receiver along with you like many of the competitors require you to do. No more broken belt clips to worry about or trying to remember where you set down that darn receiver. Just keep cooking and moving as normal because the receiver is your phone.

Performance

The iGrill2 wireless BBQ thermometer is capable of withstanding a wider range of temperatures than most grill thermometers. With ranges from -22 to 572 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use it for more than just a grilling thermometer as it has the ability to read below freezing temperatures. It also has a very impressive refresh response time of just three seconds. Try finding a response time that quick in other models.

Most users, myself included, find it very accurate when grilling. The manufacturer claims it is accurate to within one degree Fahrenheit, which has been confirmed, in many independent tests. I also found this to be true in my personal temperature tests. The iGrill2 is very accurate, and although it is not an instant-read meat thermometer, it has still shown to be faster than most similar products available.

The iGrill2 has a wireless range up to 150 feet, and while that is not as long as many I’ve found it is still long enough for you to go inside to check out the game on TV or relax by the pool while your food is cooking.

How To Use The Weber iGrill 2 BBQ Meat Thermometer

It works like this; Plug your probes into one of the four probe ports, power on the device, toss your favorite piece of meat on the grill, stick your probe inside the thickest part, launch the app and walk away.

The Weber iGrill 2 Box Contents

The iGrill 2 grilling thermometer is very intuitive. Of course, I suggest you read the user’s manual, but the iGrill is a user-friendly thermometer. After powering it up, there is a quick three-step process to use.

Insert the probe into the center of your food. Make sure it is in the center of the thickest part, so you don’t end up with undercooked meat.
Open the app and select one of the preset temperatures, conveniently named by several types of meat.
Customize the range if you want by raising the high-temperature alert and lowering the low-temperature alert by pressing the < button or > button, according to your personal taste.

At this point, you are ready to roll. The thermometer will keep you updated on the probe’s temperature, as well as send you alerts if your temperature goes outside of the set range.

Product Description And Features

Weber is a trusted name in the grilling industry and is known for top quality goods. Their line of thermometers ranges in price and use. The iGrill 2 meat thermometer is specifically designed with the griller and smoker in mind. It comes with more standard and advanced features than the majority of grilling thermometers on the market.

The Weber iGrill 2 Box

This device is for any griller or smoker, has four probe ports and comes with two high-temperature Pro probes included. It features magnetic mounting and is powered by two AA batteries for up to 200 hours of battery life.

This multi-probe thermometer can check the temperature of any food or liquid ranging from below freezing to well beyond most standard ovens.

Most digital thermometers of this type don’t have an automatic shut-off feature and stay on indefinitely. The iGrill 2 comes with an auto off shutdown feature when not in use or when a probe is not connected. If the probe is inserted into food and it is paired to a smart device, the unit will not shut off. With a probe inserted but no pairing, it will auto shut-off at the 8-hour mark. No probe and no pairing, auto shut off will come after 5 minutes. This is a great feature to prevent accidentally wearing out the battery.

Some of the features include:

Quad-Probe Support

This wireless grill thermometer supports up to four Pro probes and the single readout can display any of them by pressing a button. You can also choose the option to have the iGrill2 cycle through each probe readout automatically. The probes have temperature ranges from -22 to 572 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can rest assured you have your foods doneness is covered.

iDevices iGrill2 With Quad Probe Capability

If you are grilling with multiple probes, you can set individual alarms for each probe at specific temperatures. This is perfect if your family are like mine and like different levels of doneness for their steaks. With high heat resistance temperature probes that can withstand temperatures up to 620 degrees Fahrenheit for extreme outdoor cooking and smoking. The probes also come with heat-resistant, colored coded sleeves for easy tracking.

The Weber iGrill Pro Ambient Probe comes with probe clip for mounting it right on the grill grate so you know exactly what the temperature is where your food rests. Unfortunately, the ambient probe is not included with the iGrill2 as only two Pro meat probes come standard. All serious grillers will agree, knowing the precise cooking temperature is paramount for grilling or smoking success. So I believe the ambient temperature probe is worth the extra cost. If you are interested, you can check out the price here .

Illuminated LED Display

LED Display at Night

It has a large and bright illuminated LED display that is easy to read. This makes reading the temperature in low-light conditions a breeze. The display shows temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius, depending on your preference. It also shows the timer function, which is another useful feature.

Can Be Used As A Standalone Thermometer

The iGrill 2 Bluetooth enabled smart thermometer can be used without a smart device as a standalone thermometer only. It can easily tell you the temperature of your food on the large LED display even if it’s not paired with your smart device.

Free Downloadable App

Easy To Use Mobile App

Or you can download the free app to monitor your meat or internal BBQ temperature. The app works with both Android and iOS devices. The iGrill2 uses the same smart device app as the iGrill mini. I have also had the chance to use and review the iGrill mini, which is another great product that I recommend. It is the Grilling Life’s “Best Small Sized Remote Grilling Thermometer” award winner and helpful if you are on a tight budget. You can read the iGrill mini review here .

App Presets and Customization

The app lets you select from a large list of preset meat options (poultry, beef, pork, fish, and lamb) and a list of doneness choices for each. With these presets, you have the option to select settings to cook your meat to rare, medium-rare, medium, medium well and well. You can also create your own settings for each food probe independently. When the settings temperature has been reached, an alarm will notify you. You can name and save your custom created settings for future use.

There are also charts within the app that monitor and track temperature changes. The app will let you set custom alarms for each probe and will even send you push notifications when your food hits the preset mark.

You have the ability to rename the probes within the app either by food type or by colored sleeves. It’s also possible to set up multiple timers for every probe in use.

You can also view a time vs. temperature graph in the app and then export it to a CVS file for future reference using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

A few additional fun perks that are different from most is the ability to view various recipes in the app that can be used during your next big grilling or smoking venture! Lastly, the app lets you view and take pictures and share your cookout with other iGrill 2 owners over Facebook.

150′ Line Of Sight Bluetooth® Connection

I was able to pair the Bluetooth device to my smart phone in less than a minute without any problems by following the in App on screen prompts. Navigating through the menu was easy and self-explanatory.

The Weber iGrill 2 has a wireless range that lasts up to 150 feet away but may differ depending on several factors. This is shorter than several similar wireless thermometer products and is one of the few things I would nitpick on.

200-Hour Battery Life

The manufacturer claims the iGrill2 has a battery life that lasts up to 200 hours. I have never actually put the iGrill’s batteries to the test myself so I can’t positively say if this is accurate or not. What I can tell you is that I have used mine two to three times a week for over a year now and I only remember having to change the batteries out once so far. I would give this claim a thumbs up.

Magnetic Mounting

The base unit comes with a magnetic disc that lets you mount it on your grill or oven. I found this very convenient. If your grill or oven is not made of metal, it also comes with a small circular magnet with adhesive on one side. That way, you can stick the adhesive magnet to any surface and then stick your unit to it.

Probe Storage

When not in use, there is a plastic probe wrap to wind your probes around that makes storing the 48-inch heat-resistant cable easy to do.

Who Is The Weber iGrill 2 Thermometer For?

The Weber iGrill 2 BBQ Meat Thermometer

This is for the serious or casual griller both who needs an accurate thermometer. If you are looking for a new wireless thermometer, this is a great option to look at. The features and style are well worth the money. It is worth the investment in time and energy saved alone, not to mention the cooking accuracy that comes with a good thermometer. It also gives you have the peace of mind of knowing you won’t have to worry about getting sick from undercooked meat. Something that you and your loved ones will be thankful for.

The iGrill 2 is especially worth checking out if you are guilty of shiny object syndrome like me and love hi-tech gadgets that make life easier.

Who Should Consider Alternatives?

On the other hand, if you are a griller is not exactly into the high-tech world, you may not have a need for the Bluetooth aspect and all the extra features that come with this device. A hand held thermometer may be right for you.

The lack of an included ambient temperature probe for reading the internal temperature of the grill is unfortunate. I know I use my ambient probe I purchased separately for almost every cook. Fortunately, they are not very expensive and can now be found in many hardware stores.

Hands off grilling and freedom from hovering over your grill.
Easily connects to a Bluetooth device.
Navigating through the menu is easy and not overly complicated.
Very good battery life.
Temperature readings are accurate within 1 degree Fahrenheit in most cases.
Super user-friendly.

The meat probe can be damaged if used or handled incorrectly.
There is no way to save your cooks in the app for future reference.
Only 150’ line of sight Bluetooth connection whereas some products reaches up to 300’.

Price, Warranties, And Support

The price runs between $87 and $139. The iGrill 2 digital grill thermometer comes with a one-year warranty, which is mostly standard for similar thermometers. Weber has an impressive range of support options available. You can reach them by telephone and email. There are product FAQs and downloadable manuals on the Weber site. The iGrill 2 also supports firmware updates, which you can find through the app or online.

I have read many reviews and see a lot of positive comments on the iGrill 2 like:

Best probe grill thermometer ever.
Great for grilling and smoking, I LOVE this thing.
This little gadget makes doing long smokes on the grill a piece of cake.

Revolutionized my cooking on the grill and oven. No more overdone dry meat. I can get the temperatures exactly where I need it and no higher.

Some of the complaints I have read are:

Wish I didn’t have to purchase the ambient probe separately.
Temperature works flawlessly, I wish the range on the Bluetooth was a little stronger to get a better range.

A Few Words Of Caution to Help You Get The Most Out Of Your iGrill 2

There are couple things I want to mention from my own personal experiences that I hope will prove useful.

Bluetooth Range Complaints

I’ve seen complaints about the Bluetooth range not being what is advertised. The manufacturer states “150′ line of sight Bluetooth connection,” which is true for the most part. The key word here is “line of sight.” That means if you are unable to see the device, the range can decrease. I have still been able to walk to the kitchen or check out the TV in the living room and stay connected but I can’t go much farther. This suits my needs but may not work for everyone.

Probe Issues

This should be fairly obvious but the high-temperature probes can be damaged if not used correctly. If you exceed the recommended temperature ratings, they can either stop working or show incorrect readouts.

You should never insert them into the food when you are grilling “hot and fast” or searing your meat. They are meant for indirect or convection cooking meaning not directly over the coals. If you are using them directly over the coals and exceed the recommended temp or get a flare up, they will become damaged.

You want to be careful with the probe wires as well. Avoid crimping or getting them wet. You can wash off the probe end that you insert into the meat with a wet sponge or paper towel, but never get the wires wet or put them in the dishwasher. This is true for all meat probes, not just the iGrill2 device.

Many of the negative comments I see are from people using the device incorrectly and does not reflect the true usefulness of this thermometer. If used correctly, this can be a great addition to your grilling adventures.

I personally have had to replace my probes only once in over a year but it was my fault that they malfunctioned. After grilling for a big party, I left my iGrill 2 out overnight next to the grill and the wires got pretty damp. The device still worked fine but the probes never read correctly again.

Final Thoughts

The Weber iGrill 2 BBQ Meat Thermometer

This Bluetooth-enabled smart thermometers app, accuracy, response time and multiple-probe support make it one of the best digital grill thermometer on the market. It just does so much more than most digital grill thermometers.

Not only does it allow you freedom from hovering over your grill while you cook, its app is extremely useful and helps make sure you grill the perfect meat every time.

The Weber iGrill 2 is an excellent upgrade to the original iGrill and a must have digital thermometer device for a great barbecue and grilling experience.

The response time, multiple probe support, accuracy, and app make this one of the best wireless grill thermometers available. Even with many similarly priced thermometer solutions out there, the ability to link the iGrill2 to your phone makes this a winning product.

It would be nice if Weber would include the ability for the device to connect via Wi-Fi as well in their next update. But in my opinion, the Weber iGrill 2 will make your next cookout a winner. You won’t ever want to grill without it again.

I hope this Weber iGrill 2 BBQ meat thermometer review was helpful for you. As always, if you or someone you know is interested in grilling thermometers or you find this information useful, please consider sharing it with your Grilling friends and on social media!

Hi! Do you think this thing will work well for disposable one-time grills also? By the way, when a device or service has an app, it makes me much more inclined to buy it. It shows me that the owners actually give a damn about their product and providing a great expereince to their customers. I will definitely look into this 🙂

This device will work for any type of grill or even your oven. As long as you follow the recommended guidelines and instructions I talked about in my review, your food should turn out great. Happy Grilling Ben.

To me this is an awesome addition to my grilling equipment. I am always the cooker on family functions. I use a grill & a smoker to provide both types of cooked meat. And It would be wonderful to not have to keep running backwards and forward checking temperatures. Thank you for the information.

I don’t know how I ever grilled without a thermometer Ronnie. I promise you, you won’t regret making the investment. It is perfect for the smoker and has helped me go from an average cook to the next level. This is not even mentioning the convenience they provide. Thanks for stopping by and happy grilling!

My father in law got one of these meat thermometer and it didn’t seem to work. He was cooking steak so perhaps the meat was too thin to get an accurate reading. Is this a common problem with these thermometers?

Dan, not sure why your father in law had issues but it sounds like a defective unit to me. Did he contact the manufacturer? I have never had any issues like that with the many I have purchased over the years. I have also not seen any reports in reviews saying they had a similar problem. I’m sorry he had this issue, but again, I suggest he contact the supplier and get a replacement or a refund. If I can help in any way, let me know.

This sounds like a very useful tool for grilling etc lovers, it also sounds like it adds to BBQ and grilling fun.

Everyone requesting how they like their BBQ to be and the cook promising to deliver it just right.

A good and balance review of a gadget that makes cooking easier and meals more perfect.

Thanks EJ. This is really a great tool for beginners and advanced grillers alike. And if you are a techy like myself, you will love playing with this gadget. My family thanks me for it because no matter how they want their meat cooked, I get it right almost ever time. Thanks for stopping by and happy grillig!

This Weber iGrill 2 BBQ meat thermometer looks pretty good. Certainly the Amazon reviews say so anyway. This would be useful for me since the family all have different tastes when it comes to doneness. I’m a bit worried about the bluetooth range though. There seems to some concerns there but maybe it depends on which device you are using. I don’t think bluetooth is the same on all devices, for quality of signal I mean.

I see it has a social sharing feature on the app. How does that work? Does it support all social media platforms? Also, can it be set up to send SMS alerts from the app?

Bluetooth is funny that way and yes, it does sometimes depend on the device you are using. The key here is “line of site.” As long as you can see the iGrill 2, you are good to go. I want to mention again though that I still get pretty decent range even when I am out of site. My kitchen and living rooms are over 70 feet away and I can still stay connected. Perfect for what I need. It has a social sharing feature where you can connect straight through the app and post what you are cooking to most of your social sites you own. One additional feature that is great is the feature of viewing recipes in the app that you can try for your next cookout. Definitely cool. Unfortunately, it does not support sending SMS alerts but hopefully that is a feature they take a look at. They are constantly upgrading the firmware so I don’t see why it couldn;t be done. Hope this answers all your questions. If not, let me know.

This is one of my favorite subjects! I love to cook outdoors on anything. If my wife would let me I would hunt wild hog and cook it over a wooden rotisserie. This seems like a handy little gadget. Do you think it could handle and outdoor deep fryer? I don’t have a smoker currently but I will be getting one in the near future and then I will most likely try this little temperature gauge out.

Seems like a bummer with the Bluetooth range problem but hey if your cooking just throw a lawn chair out and sit close and you don’t even have to get up! How cool is that ?!

The complaints are probably from the folks that want to go inside and lay around on the couch and not worry about the food till their phone tells them it’s done. Well, hate to break it to you, if you’re the cook of the house that’s probably not going to happen without burnt, dried up food.

Thanks for sharing,

Glad to have a fellow outdoor cook stop by. The iGrill 2 really is a handy device. I wouldn’t recommend using it with a deep fryer, though. The temperature might exceed the recommended high of 572 degrees Fahrenheit. You also wouldn’t want to get the wet grease on the probe wires as this will damage them. I want to mention again though that I still get pretty decent range even when I am out of site. My kitchen and living rooms are over 70 feet away and I can still stay connected. Perfect for what many people need. I hope your wife comes around and you are roasting that wild hog soon. Happy Grilling.

Sounds very interesting and I could really use this tool! I am actually not eating meat, but cook fish on the BBQ all the time and have been thinking of getting one of the thermometers to test if it’s cooked through instead of always having to open the foil I packed it in or cutting into it. You might think fish is easier to cook than meat, but in fact it is very easy to over cook it, when it become very dry and eating raw fish can actually be dangerous!

Fish is great on the grill and we eat it at least once a week that way, but you are right. It is harder to cook than people think. The iGrill 2 is great for all meats. Another way to go is an instant read digital thermometer. If you need a recommendation, send me an email and I will be happy to send you a few good options. Thanks for stopping by and Happy cooking!

Sounds like a great grilling thermometer option. I have a question. So this holiday season we made whole filet in the oven, we used one of the old fashion thermometers, not sure they are as accurate as your suggestion though… Could this iGrill thermometer be used in the oven as well or would it be too hot for it?

By the way the filet turned out amazing 🙂

Your filet sounds delicious. I’m glad it worked out well. The iGrill 2 is perfect for the oven as you will rarely if ever cook anything at a temp above the recommended level of 572 degrees Fahrenheit. I use it for both my grill and oven regularly. One of the good things about this device is that it also works as a stand-alone thermometer. No need to use it with a smart device every time if you don’t want. The display is big and bold and easy to read. Thanks for stopping by Vicky.
