iGrill

My wonderful wife got me an iGrill thermometer for my birthday and I broke it in tonight doing a couple Griff Loafs. After one use it seems like a very cool toy, but I do believe once I learn how to use it it will be a great tool. It operates via Bluetooth so there is a limit to how far you can get from your grill. It has multiple timers and two meat probes so you can track two different items. If you want to know pit temperature you can do one meat and use an ambient temperature probe to monitor the pit temperature. If all works out I'm not sure this might not replace my Maverick. At $80 it is twice the price of the Maverick, but it works with my iPhone

I've been thinking about one of those.

Very nice Buzz. Do you have to use a preset temp or can you set it to what you want if at?

V, There are loads of presets if you want to use them, but you can set your own and call them whatever you want. The picture above is for the 2 Griff Loafs, both set to 175° and called Griff 1 and Griff 2. You can name the timers too which is nice if you are old like me and forget which time is set for what

Dave, with no obstructions outside it will go several hundred feet, throw some walls in the way and you are down to 20-30 feet. The fewer the obstructions the better the reception.
