Weber igrill or other thermometer

Postby jm88 » Tue Apr 07, 2020 6:57 pm

I have an old remote thermometer (which I love it being remote) but I have always had problems with it connecting and staying connected in the house, even when I am right inside the house about 15 feet away from the grill. It is time for an upgrade anyways and I would like one with multiple probes for different meats and also to use for ambient temperature. I have a Weber Genesis so of course I was looking into the igrill 3, but I guess all the compatibility means on the grill is a place to mount the thermometer. I have read some things where the range is not that great, and I can't tell if having it on your phone is a good thing or not. I suppose it would be if it worked from a farther distance, and also to have more options, information, etc. but I have no experience with that. So what thermometers do you guys like with multiple probes where it will work if I wander around the house? A Weber igrill 3 or some other standalone model?

Thermoworks smoke x4. 4 channels, 1.24 miles, yes, miles of range. The original Smoke has less range, 300 feet or so. Grab a thermapen MK4 as well, they are the gold standard for instant read thermometers. I’ve had an Igrill and a Maverick unit in the past and there is definitely a difference.

Wow, that looks like a nice one, but I do not grill enough to warrant spending $200 on a thermometer. I am looking more maybe in the $50 range. Thank you though.

I have a Maverick 71 that I really like, however, I just ordered this Maverick with 2 probes for a friend's Birthday. The price is certainly right and if he gives a good report then I may just get one when my 71 lays down on me.

Thermoworks will time to time sell off open items with full warranty and they seem to cycle sales pretty regularly. They do an email newsletter once a week or so and put their specials in there
