iDevices iGrill Ambient Temperature Probe -Kids Review

Customer Ratings:

Being an avid BBQ-er, I used to spend many sleepless hours checking on my smoker when cooking butts, shoulders, briskets, etc. Now I no longer have to do that with the purchase of my iGrill and the ambient temperature probe. The addition of this probe to my iGrill and having the app on my phone, I no longer have to wake up every two hours (1am, 3am, 5am, 7am...) to check my temperature. If I have any heat spikes or drops, I can now get a notification on my iphone. I can also monitor a graph that shows me what the temperature was throughout the cook. It also measures temperature accurately, much better than the temperature gauge built in to my Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker. Other probes that I have used with different temperature monitors were cheaply made and the wires would quickly begin to pull away from its terminated connection at the probe end. I have not had this problem with any of the iGrill probes, which have been extensively used over the past 9 months. I don't know how I ever survived without it!

I love the Igrill but some of the probes are finicky. Careful cleaning them or exposing them to too much heat. So i had to replace the first one pretty quickly.

I've tried using this twice and the first few minutes it works great, but then I get the message "Probe not detected." I disconnected it and reconnected it several times and continued to get the same error message. My iPad had no trouble connecting to the iGrill via Bluetooth, but even at distances of 10 feet away, I kept getting the message "Probe not detected" whenever I would try to use this probe. After reading some other reviews, it appears that this is a fairly common problem with these probes. Too bad, as I really wanted the ambient probe to monitor the cooking temperature inside the grill as opposed to the meat temperature. It's really difficult to cook when you're constantly messing with a gadget that doesn't work like it's supposed to! I ended up returning mine to Amazon for a refund.

Honest reviews on iDevices iGrill Ambient Temperature Probe -Kids

I bought this probe so I could monitor the air temperature in my smoker while smoking meat. Monitoring and maintaining air temperature inside the smoker is critical to the success of smoked meats.

I liked the length of the probe wire.

I had to get creative in order to make the mount work inside my grill.

I would recommend this as a must-have accessory to the iGrill thermometer if knowing the air temperature of your cooking vessel is important.

This ambient probe was the perfect accessory for my iGrill and smoker. I have two kids so checking the temperature of a pit (as often as I'd like to) is out of the question. This made that task incredibly simple.
