Weber iGrill 3 Grill Thermometer

I consider myself an experienced griller and BBQ enthusiast. I purchased this accessory for my Weber grill, as I also have a Kamado smoker next to my Weber, so I can get a lot of use from the temp gauge. In the 3 months since I purchased this device, I have used it for the following cooks:-chicken drumsticks-ribs-pork butt/pulled pork-reverse seared tomahawk steaks-beef brisket-kielbasa-pork chopsIf you are someone who worries about whether your grilled food is cooked all the way through, this is a good tool to have. If you are experienced, this tool can help take your food to the next level.I see a lot of heartburn regarding the Bluetooth connectivity, I have not had any issues (iPhone XR), even with the brick home in which I live. I have even gone upstairs in the house and can still keep an eye on the temperature.This will wear down your smartphone battery, so if you want to perform an overnight cook, I recommend probing in the morning.The app itself allows you to save different cooks and take pictures, and write descriptions, essentially giving you a catalogue of all your previous cooks. This can be beneficial if you want to throw a huge cookout and want to get the timing down to serve food; you can easily reference past cooks to determine a timeline.

Instructions were a little confusing then I used the Bilt app. Made things a lot easier. I have the Genesis II so it was a bit more complicated. Works well though. Don’t have to keep opening the grill.

I'll admit, my wife wanted this accessory and I was apathetic. I thought it was gimmicky. I was wrong. It's nice to be able to throw meat on the grill, and go do other things (other food prep, grabbing a beer, talking to guests) and be able to glance at your phone and see the temperature of what's on the grill. It's also dealt a blow to my ego. I thought I was a pretty decent griller and didn't "need" this thing. But I will say that every time I have used it the meat comes off the grill better than when I grill without it. I'm usually conservative with meats like chicken and pork and tend to leave them on too long to ensure they are cooked through, but they end up drier than ideal. But with the iGrill, I can monitor from inside the house and take them off the grill at just the right time. This pays dividends when grilling in colder weather! I would definitely buy this product again.

Pros:AccurateOffers features like tank monitoring and switching dial lights on and off (if grill is compatible)Decent range for BluetoothCompanion app allows for easy monitoring of temperaturesSimple to installCons:Once installed can only be used with your Weber grillBraided cord on probes seems to want to unbraid after only a few usesApp isn’t the most intuitive to use as firstI’ve installed this on my Weber Genesis II LX GS4. Installation was quick and easy. So far all the sensors and probes seem accurate. I’ve had no issues with connecting to my iPhone 12 via Bluetooth. I do wish that installation wasn’t semi permanent so that the sending unit could be used inside the house as well. But it does complement my grill nicely!

The iGrill3 is a very nice product and is accurate easy to use and the right tool for the best finished gilled meat and fish. I immediately noticed the difference in individual steaks cooking at the same time on the grill with the 2 probes it allows you to finish with exactly what temp your looking for on each steak. I also was impressed with the lead length it allowed me to use it on my electric smoker I positioned right next to it.

UPDATE: I sent a note to Weber customer service about this and they sent me a replacement unit. The replacement does not seem to have this problem. It works fine and never unexpectedly disconnects any longer. Upgraded my rating from 3 to 5.———I really want to like this device. It fits well with my Weber grill and when it works, it works really well.But what I've found is if the ambient temperature rises somewhere above 87 or so degrees Fahrenheit, that's when the Bluetooth connection starts failing. The device randomly disconnects from the app and starts blinking. Sometimes it will reconnect after a little bit on its own. Many times it won't. Turning it off and back on will sometimes get it to reconnect.I've been able to test my theory by cooling it down with an ice pack when it won't hold a stable connection. It indeed becomes stable and works properly from then on.So, buyer beware. This product seems to have a design defect. If you are in a cooler climate and/or don't mind keeping an icepack on it when the temperature heats up, you'll love it. Otherwise, you might want to give it a pass.

Works great
