MEATER w/FREE Bamboo Coaster Set | The Original True Wireless Smart Meat Thermometer for the Oven Grill Kitchen BBQ Smoker Rotisserie with Bluetooth and WiFi Digital Connectivity

I shall never cook meat in the same way again!

Let me start by saying, what a great idea! The marketing and packaging are spot on, but in real life cooking situations, this thing is nearly useless. The more I thought about the design, the more I realize how useless the ambient temp sensor really is by its very nature. Since you must insert the Meater to the notched line, only about 1.5-2" protrude out past the meat. This of course means that your ambient temp will be drastically affected by the temp of the meat itself. Let's take a brisket for example. You have to trim the fat off the brisket while it's still a fridge temp (~40-50 degrees). I typically apply a dry rub and let the meat get close to room temp while my smoker is around 240 degrees. Each time I tested the Meater, both the internal and ambient gauges had readings drastically different from my other thermometers (like 20+ degrees off!). I was most curious to see the chart of my 8-10 hr cooks, but they were all over the place despite my other thermometers holding steady ~240 ambient. Useless. To top it all off, I left my iPad connected and hooked up to Meater Cloud while I did some errands. The cloud connection dropped halfway into one of my cooks and it never came back online. I came home and the iPad was still on and still connected via bluetooth to the Meater probe. No reason this should have failed and there was no error on the iPad or my phone as to why it actually did drop the connection. One of the primary purposes I got this was to be able to use the Meater Cloud and not be tethered to my smoke/grill, but after this experience I have no confidence in that. In the end, I used my Meater for 2 brisket smokes before returning it. I really want to like this, but it's honestly its half baked and full of bugs. Looks like I am going to take a look at alternatives.

So the first steak I cooked was great. It came out perfect. The second was also perfect; however, the black part of the thermometer cracked. I didn’t think much of it. Then I went to use it a third time. The MEATER said it was over 600 degrees. It wasn’t. The thermometer on the grill said it was only 400. My laser thermometer said it was 413. So the meater was busted. Product worked great but it was as sturdy as Kleenex. The unit was broken and useless.

Awesome! I've used it in a smoker, on the grill and in the oven. It's worked perfectly every time. The range sucks when it's in my smoker so I leave an old phone nearby with the app running so I can monitor it from far away.

This product is awful! Has a range of about 6 feet using a Samsung s9+ Tried Smoker & Weber Grill range is totally unacceptable!

Useless. The range is 4 to 5 feet. Do not bother.

bei ganzen Schweinen großen Spießbraten alles was sich dreht unerlässlich. Die APP funktioniert auch gut mit Zeiteinschätzung bis fertig.

Used it twice and love it. First meal was a roasted chicken. Came out great. Used convection back so we had a crispy outside but was still juicy inside. Then did a pork butt a few days later. 11 hours smoking and pulled great. Highly suggest this to anyone that cooks.

Sucks. Has a range of about 2 1/2 feet using a Samsung s9+
