Reviews for iGrill Grilling/Cooking Thermometer

I received an iGrill for Christmas last year and the accuracy and convenience has stepped up my results temendously. I highly recommend buying this product!

I did have a problem with the two temperature probes that came with the unit though. They both just recently started showing temperatures that were at least 100 degrees higher than the actual temperature of the meat. I concluded that it is possible (likely) that the cables of the probes probably touched the grill surface of my smoker and got too hot, ruining them. Even though it seems to be a case of user error, the customer service department at iGrill responded to an email that I sent on a Sunday by 9AM Monday morning and stated that they would be able to send me two replacements, even though I probably caused them to break. Awesome customer service on this product and I will continue to recommend the product and accessories to everyone I know that cooks.

When it's working it does great job of telling you when your meal is correctly cooked. Right on the nose perfect. But probes are VERY DELICATE. After my first one failed it was immediately replaced ( thanks for the great customer service!) I was much more mindful of the new one. However, it also failed and I haven't asked for a replacement yet. I am waiting to hear whether iGrill will be made compatible with IOS 6.0.3.
It's a great device. Keep going guys. Fix the problem sensor issue!

I've probably never seen such a poor quality. The first unit I bought disintegrated as I removed the packaging. I returned it and got a replacement unit. Exactly the same happened with the new one and I'll return that tomorrow on a "money back guarantee"

I recommend you to NOT buy this thing.

Its a great little device, personally I think it should come with the ambient probe and a meat thermometer, not the two meat thermometers. I think it would be a lot handier. Also what this device really needs is the ability to plug it into an outlet and not run off of batteries. I use my igrill device for long slow cooks on my smoker and having to change batteries frequently is sort of an annoyance. It could be a real great device if it wasn't for the issue that it only works off of batteries.

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.

I have the same issues as many of the other reviewers. The unit rarely works. Piece of junk. Obviously the manufacturer did very little product testing.

This makes cooking in the kitchen a breeze! Set up my iGrill on my iPad and I can multitask better than ever and never worry about overcooking my food.

Device delivers what it promises. However, you can't store it with the batteries in it as they will completely drain in a couple of weeks...

As a chemical engineer, I really value the precision and simplicity of this dual probe device in my most sophisticate cooking! A must have for those who like elaborate cooking!

When I smoke 400lbs of pork at a time, I need to start early, 3:00AM early. I can now start a fire and relax with some coffee before loading the smoker. The alarms go off, and I go to work. The iGrill is amazing!!!
