MEATER® Smart Meat Thermometer

I’ve been using the MEATER for a couple of weeks now, purchased shortly after I also purchased a new gas grill. The gas grill has a rotisserie and I wanted to be able to monitor internal meat temperature on my roasts without bothering with wires. The MEATER works perfectly for this! I find accurate internal meat temperatures, accurate estimated time to completion, and the convenience of being able to monitor the internal temperature inside my grill during cooking. All of this with the convenience of no wires and being able to use my phone application for monitoring all of the above. What a game changer! I have now used the MEATER to cook a whole turkey, a prime rib roast, and a pork shoulder on my gas grill using the rotisserie, and I couldn’t be happier with the probe and the app. Update: I continue to use and love the MEATER probe and phone app regularly, now going on 6 months. I have no complaints whatsoever and fine the device to be quite accurate. I purchase extra MEATER probes often as gifts for friends.

The Meater+ is a friend to a Pit Master. It accurately monitors internal and ambient temperatures of your cook. It is extremely easy to use and customer support has been outstanding to date. It is wireless so it is perfect for monitoring internal and ambient temperature when using a rotisserie. I use it all the time on my Large Big Green Egg when using The Joetisserie (fits Large Big Green Egg perfectly). The Meater+ tracks the temperature of the meat and ambient temperature flawlessly. And, I track it all from my IPhone. I can even track it on the go. For example, I had to run to the store during a two whole chicken rotisserie cook, and I was able to follow the temperatures and progress inside the store. I also use The Meater+ for perfectly cooked steaks and fish (especially salmon). I highly recommend The Meater+. The Meater+ is a great tool for a Pit Master's arsenal. I also have a Flame Boss 300 (highly recommend as well) which I use for extra long and slow smokes where I need the long hours control of temperature that is provided by The Flame Boss 300's ability to fan The Big Green Egg's Fire Box. I can literally keep my Large Big Green Egg at the same temperature for 18+ hours if needed. Together these two devices allow for any type of cook. Big Thumbs up for The Meater+

I backed the meater smart thermometer on indiegogo back in 2016 and waited patiently for over a year to receive my product. Promised essentially unlimited range for temperature tracking, I was sold immediately. And no wires to boot! However, the product has been nothing but a disappointment from my first cook. I have a traeger Texas elite 34 pellet smoker and when I use the probe, I can get no more than 10 feet from my grill before losing Bluetooth connection to my meater. I’ve also tried the meater link, which uses Bluetooth to connect to a device near the probe and WiFi to connect that device to a second device. Still a no go. Same problem with meater cloud. When I contacted meater about these issues, they had me complete a range test, making sure the probe is unobstructed by anything. Meaning it’s not in my grill, creating a test that is impractical as it’s not a proper demonstration of the products use. I was told the product is in working order and that my grill is incompatible with the probe as it blocks too much Bluetooth signal. I would absolutely not recommend this product for anyone that does a significant amount of smoking, or grilling with a closed lid.

The Meater App in conjunction with the Meater Thermometer has far exceeded exceeded my expectations. The Meater has brought cooking out of the Stone Age as far as I’m concerned. Have had a Solair Infrared Grill for years which I couldn’t master accurate cooking results due to its intense heat. The Meater Thermometer along with the App has made cooking with it a no-brainer... The first time I used the Meater was cooking a Flank Steak on the Solair and it came out to perfection. Kept me informed as to the cooking progress and provided me with ammunition when attempting to justify to my Wife the necessary resting time. She had visual indication regarding all stages of the cooking progress. Used the Meater Thermometer the second time last night and again it blew me away to the point I ordered the Meater Block with 4 Probes. Will use the first on for our camping adventures.

Grilling and searing frequently use temperatures in excess of 500 degrees but, astonishingly, this dumb thermometer doesn't work at such temperatures. Trust me, when the ambient temperature gets over 500 degrees, the stupid app loudly blows the klaxons every few seconds and then blocks the entire screen with a bright red warning message so you can't see anything else. I mean it, you really can't see anything. You can't even see the meat temperature anymore, which was the entire point of all this. The product designers and app programmers must not know anything about grilling, because these are very stupid problems to have. As for this app, its hard to give even one single star for this abomination, a thermometer app that, deliberately by it's design, doesn't show the meat temperature. It's only exacerbated by the fact that the underlying product won't work over 500 degrees, a temperature that most home ovens and even some toaster ovens can achieve.
