iGrill 2 Thermometer

Weber good as usually

Not really accurate with thin meat pieces (below 2cm). For high thickness meat pieces is fundamental and works perfectly.

The first of the two probes included showed completely inaccurate (overstated) temperatures and broke after first use showed 291C even when completely cold. It’s an over engineered product with poor / inconsistent quality.

My partner loves it for his smoker / bbq… does what it says and is easy to use. If you know someone who loves tech, cooking and eating this is for them!

Die Grilltemperatur wird exakt angegeben. Mit der App eine super Überwachung des Grillvorganges.

Let me begin by saying that I never had the opportunity to use the old app so I can't compare it to the current version. I purchased mine in November of 2017 for $80 on Amazon. After using it for a few months, I found that a product review was needed for those interested in purchasing this. At the time, I was looking at the iGrill 2, iGrill 3 and the Thermopro-07/08. Out of the box, the unit comes with the basics to BBQ and grill. This included 2-tempurature probes, the unit, and other trinkets (e.g. sleeves to change the probe colors, a metal piece to adhere it a non-metalic surface etc.). The one thing I felt it lacked was the ambient probe. It was an easy fix, since I ordered the iGrill2 from Amazon, I also ordered the ambient probe for about $14 extra dollars. In my opinion I felt that the unit should have came with one meat probe and an ambient probe as well (total of two) rather than just two meat probes. When my unit arrived, my first cook was a whole chicken. i used the units presets to alert me when it was done. It worked great and was easy to set. I have put this unit to the test, BBQing at least 3 times a week. Over the past 2 months, I have used it for various cuts of meat. This includes, whole chicken, chicken quarters, chicken legs, beef steaks (various cuts), pork and beef ribs, pork butt and brisket to name a few. As a personal preference, I found that I occasionally use the pre-set temperatures and instead set the alerts to my liking. This is just because I noticed some of the preset temperatures were at a different temperature than my personal likings or that I wanted to pull the meat off prior to the preset to wrap or sauce. The presets give no option to setup this type of timer. The ambient probe is really good. It comes with a grill grate holder that it mounts in. It then lays about level with the meat you're cooking to monitor the meat. The other probes do what you want them to do as well (monitor the internal temperature). With two meat probes, I'm able to monitor two separate chunks of meat on the grill or (on a large piece) place them on both sides of the meat to ensure even cooking. As for the unit, it is very basic and can work without a phone (or other bluetooth device connected to it). If you don't want to use it with a phone or other device, you're limited to setting temps for each probe only. You also can also monitor each probes temperature from the iGrill device as well. Now, I'll talk a little about the app. Again, I've only used the current (as of this review) version of the app. I can't see a way to show what version my app is. It appears that it was designed by someone not into cooking/BBQing/Grilling. There are many features that I think the app could use to make it much more tailored to each user's need. One thing I would like to see in later features is the ability to 'modify' the preset temperatures. Another modification would be to add a search feature on the presets. As it is now, you need to choose the 'type' of meat you're cooking, then scroll through the alphabetical order list. One 'smart' feature that I think would be nice to add is for the app to notice a fast drop of temperatures (e.g. from 245 degrees to a fast drop to 110 degrees within seconds). This would be useful when you need to lift the lid and mop your meat or add some fuel (charcoal) to the grill and not want to have your app start beeping at you to warn you the temperature is too low. I know there are other additions that the app could use, but these are just my thoughts for now. Overall, if you're considering getting this Weber iGrill2 to add to your tools, I would recommend it. I would say that there are other probes and devices that do the same for less. Some are bluetooth and some are not. If you want to stick with the Weber brand, like I did, then go for it. I paid $80 (on sale from Amazon) for the unit and another $14 for the extra ambient probe.
