Any experience with these probes? Good or bade? I like the wireless feature, but don’t know the trade off if there is one.

I have one and haven’t had any issues with it.Large and Small BGECentral, IL

I use mine all of the time and love it. I use it a lot for spatchcocked chicken, reverse sear steak, brisket, and pork butt.Pros:- Completely wireless, so no fuss like my other probes- Reads both ambient and internal in one unit- Can be set up to see temps anywhere you have an internet connection (need second iOS/Android device)- Can be used on a rotisserie, if you have one (which I don't)Cons:- Diameter is quite large- Probe MUST be inserted about 3 inches to protect internals of unit- Ambient sensor must be SHINY clean, or it won't charge for next useDefinitely a cool tool (and toy).

I'm planning on purchasing one in a few weeks, after UPS catch up from the holiday rush.
KitchenAid markets a similar product (Yummly), but it's Android-only._____________Remember when teachers used to say 'You won't have a calculator everywhere you go'? Well, we showed them.

Got one for Christmas and used it for first time yesterday on a butt . Easy to use and no problems . It was nice not dealing with wires . Scrubbing it clean was no problem.

I mainly use my Thermoworks Smoke, Thermapen and Chef Alarm for most of my cooks. However with that being said the MEATER+ is my go to for rotisserie and for Sous Vide cooking. Just put the MEATER into the meat and let it either spin away or be sealed in a vac bag while using your sour vide. If you have no interest in rotisserie or Sous Vide then I would suggest looking at the different Thermoworks products.

If it’s not real clean, it doesn’t charge properly.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Interesting product, I’ve seen it here a couple of years ago but figured it was an April fool or something like that. How can the battery sustain the heat? Isolation or special material?____________________Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage. •Niccolo Machiavelli

Its amazing we love it. As for sustaining the heat the max temp of 527 degrees Fahrenheit so I don't use it when searing. I also had long cooks with no battery issues. Steaks come out perfect and its great for rotisserie chicken.

Battery on mine lasts well over 12 hours as well. I think it's a great product, does everything it says it does. I've had mine for years and it's still going.

Brilliant, really, using meat as a cooling sink. You really would have to overcook it to get the meater hotter than 100C______________________________________________I love lamp..

One thing I learned early on is that in order to successfully charge the battery the thing must be clean. Smoke leaves an almost invisible residue on the contact at the end which can interfere. Just wipe it down carefully after the cook and give the end of it a very gentle scraping with the blade of a knife and it will charge perfectly. No issues with length of cook in my experience.Cincinnati, Ohio. Large BGE since 2011. Still learning.
