Reviews for iGrill Grilling/Cooking Thermometer

I love my iGrill remote thermometer. I plug it into my meat and it breaks into tune when the food is ready. Gives me the chance to sit and socialize with my friends instead of hovering over the grill and smelling like smoke. I'm a big fan of this!

Unless you want to spend hours fighting this device and your iPad or iPhone attempting via Bluetooth to pair the devices, don't buy the iGrill. Pairing, even using the troubleshooting instructions on the iGrill website, is hit or miss. The device often becomes unpaired on its own, if you are fortunate enough to achieve a paring, and then the whole nightmarish process of hoping for an easy re-pairing starts all over, often when you are ready to put meat on the grill and when you have guests for dinner. Needless to say, this device can create extreme frustration.

I have been using one for over a year now and I absolutely love the unit. Nice to monitor how the cooks progress. I had some grief with one of the probes just before the 1 year warrenty was up ...called and spoke to Matt in CS and he had replacement probes and a an ambient air temp probe FedEx'd. Received them in 2 days.....just had to pay nominal shipping. Excellent service!

I love it when a product works as advertised.
Igrill paired instantly with my phone and so far has not lost connection through two levels of home.
Have used it in home oven and in outdoor smoker 1probe for meat and one for ambient temp. with results appearing accurate. Looking forward to using with BBQ.
Built in hook/stand although looks and feels a bit flimsy works well. Have hung on kitchen door handle, stove door handle magnetic hook on smoker as well as used stand on top of smoker.
An essential addition to my cooking and after struggling with manual thermometers that give inaccurate readings this is a pleasure to use.

The probes are so fragile and poorly designed that the manufacturer only offers a 30 day warranty that excludes just about everything that would normally occur while cooking on a grill and starts before you receive the product. The Customer Service is an automated email that firmly reminds you of all of the limitations included in the warranty. It's a great idea and would be a great product if it didn't add $20 to the cost of a steak.

an excellent idea and i loved using my igrill but once your probe breaks it's virtually impossible to get a replacement (unless you want to pay $80 shipping from the US)
lasted less than a year, waste of money really.

I bought the iGrill for the summer grilling season and first reviewed it then. Since then I've gotten a new iPhone, IOS 6, and the updated iGrill app. The app seems to do what it is supposed to do, nothing too fancy. Pairing with Bluetooth is always a pain. I do not have that problem with other Bluetooth devices, so it is not IOS, but the iGrill device that is a problem. The 400 degree maximum temperature makes it useless for keeping tabs on your outdoor grill. I put the meat on when my grill is at 550 degrees.

I have never attempted to determine the devices maximum range. But if it includes walls and other such obstructions obviously not anticipated by the vendor, it's closer to 40 feet. I'm currently a couple of walls and 30 feet away and have lost the connection.

The device itself is flimsy. Many have written that the stand is useless and indeed it is. I don't bother with it. Since acquiring the iGrill, two of the black screws holding it together fell out. I can't put them back in because there doesn't seem to be any thread in the plastic for the screws to hold on to. Just today, Thanksgiving day, I was replacing the batteries and the tabs beneath two silver screws behind the left battery broke off, taking the screws with them. The company should find better Chinese outfit to build this thing.

Since it is Thanksgiving, I hoping to measure the turkey's thigh and breast temperatures. Alas, one probe now thinks that ice water is 145 degrees, so I can only use the other. I suppose the probes are not dishwasher safe, although probes from other devices that I own are. So with tears in my eyes, I decided to place the working probe in the thigh and use a dial thermometer in the breast.

The iGrill is a great idea with poor execution.

Good idea but poorly executed. Very cheaply made. Difficult to re-sync. Stand is wobbly could see this thing easily falling off the grill's side stand. The app stinks too. The previous version was much better. Who really facebooks what they are grilling?

This was a great gadet worked fine on both iphone 3gs, 4s and ipad, but not after i upgraded to IOS 6!! Wont pair now!!! Lame!

I bought the igrill for Canadian thanksgiving and tried for hours to get the igrill to pair to my iPhone or iPad. Nothing but frustration! The support was not helpful. Avoid this product unless you are an apple genius.
