I have used a Thermapen instant read thermometer for several years with my BGE. I'am considering buying a Cappec wireless Bluetooth enabled unit for long cooks/smoking. Has anyone used one and if so would you recommend buying one?

    Haven't even heard of one.

    Just did a search on it. Does it only have a one probe capability? If so, you might want to look at the iGrill mini to compare. The price seems similar. For a little more than the iGrill mini, the iGrill 2 is capable of using four probes simultaneously. I use the iGrill 2. I have mixed opinions on it but it meets my needs for the most part.

    Reviews on Amazon are mixed. The problem with Bluetooth is that it can be very finicky depending what the signal has to travel thru so depending on your house the range may be sufficient or it may not work two feet inside your door. You won't know until you get one and find out.
