Review on 🌑️ Wireless Weatherproof SmokeBloq Meat Thermometer: Monitor Grill & Smoker with Unlimited Range, iPhone/Android Compatible, 2 Temperature Probes by Denise Portis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Inaccurate and unvigilant

I bought this unit for a single reason, to keep an eye on my chest in the smoker overnight. I have a very good Cook Perfect Bluetooth thermometer with a remote control, but I needed a model that would transmit data to my bedroom to alert me when it's time to get up and wrap my chest in butcher paper while I'm cooking. If I accidentally get up at night and look at my phone, I would never know that my target temperature of 175 degrees was reached three degrees ago. You see, the only notifications you get are a visual notification on your phone (an iPhone in my case) and a barely audible ping. I need something loud and obnoxious to wake me up and this device doesn't do that. But what was a deal breaker was that this thermometer reported the chestpiece had reached a target temperature of 200 degrees, while my Thermapen and Bluetooth-enabled thermometer were actually still reporting temperatures well below that. So if you're looking for an accurate wireless thermometer that can also get your attention when you need it, this isn't the device for you.

Pros
  • Useful for more than it's intended purpose
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
