Reviews for iGrill Grilling/Cooking Thermometer

I have the same problem as another reviewer. This is a great product when it works, but it doesn't work very often. The connection drops a lot! Then you have to reboot, and sometimes then it still won't reconnect. When you can't connect then you have to go outside and look at the reading, which I can do with a $20 probe thermometer. This was a big waste of $100.

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?

I have found this an excellent helper for grilling both indoors and out. It is accurate and fun to use.

It requires a little setting up for the Bluetooth connection and requires fresh batteries on that score. The Bluetooth connection does chew through batteries. But dealing with the Bluetooth connection only requires fiddling and the iGrill always ends up working. In addition you can read the temperature off the device itself and it sounds the alarm as well.

Remember this is Bluetooth over a considerable distance. Quite a feat in itself.

This is a useful, accurate and fun to use product.

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...

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!!!

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!

Well after 2 years and the 7th times I used this, it has never worked right. Bluetooth first connected and now it doesn't. So i've been using it as a regular thermometer (which makes me angry every time I use it) and now the readings are way off and I over cooked my Thanksgiving bird.

If you can't depend on something especially on important events - holiday cooking... into the trash heap. It went out with the empty bottles of wine. I should have put it under my car tire.

Oh yea, it's not user error.... I'm in IT.

iGrill has made grilling easier by taking much of the guess work out of monitoring the food for the proper temperature. Controls are simple, it's easy to set the temp for the type of food, and the maximum distance between the unit and phone is quite reasonable. My only complaint is that the batteries tend to die if you leave them in the unit while powered off. I now take them out after use and re-install them when it's time to grill.

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.

If you own a iPad or iPhone you definitely want to pick one of these up. The blue tooth works flawlessly and has great distance. Now I don't have to run outside to check temperatures especially on those long cooks.
