what more could you want , 3 probes in 3 thick steaks in the smoker and one for smoker temp monitoring. . watch the phone and drink beer . Simple . no running in and out , just watch and relax .

I purchased this unit a few years ago and dont normally leave reviews after that many years, in fact i dont leave many reviews due to time constraints. But I felt that i needed to leave one for this device. I am an enthusiast cooker both inside the house (via roasts and large meat cuts) but more importantly for me is my hobby (BBQ, Smoking etc) in warmer weather. This INKBIRD (IBBQ-4T) WiFi unit is AMAZING. It was the first device that allowed me to not be concerned about forgetting to check my meat-project while smoking all night (Briskets and Pork Shoulders) and gave me the confidence to actually sleep thru the night while smoking meats. Literally a lifesaver! The overall quality of this unit is also amazing, built to last years, and have never had an issue with performance related issues. Simply charge the device and youre ready. Its VERY easy to use out of the box, and its intuitive in nature which is important to me bc I dont want to take a college course to get started. Simply use the amount of probes needed to monitor your project, set the desired temperatures for each of the four probes...and that is IT! I also love using the magnetic adapter when cooking inside by simply attaching it to the metal on the front face of my stove and I am able to quickly monitor the temperature without opening the oven at all and losing precious heat that takes a lot of time to re-establish internally. I have used earlier models from ThermaPro and MEATR and i must say that INKBIRD has become my TRUSTED go to for all cooking needs that require my ultimate attention. Highly recommend this device to anyone that invests a lot of hard earned money these days to purchase their meats to feed their family and friends. Even if i were to be a professional, i would use this unit to safeguard my cooking. Bon Apetit!!! You wont be disappointed

Purchased June 2023, Dead December 2024First, one probe was always 'off' no matter how it was plugged in or adjusted. 4 probes in a cup of water? 1 reads 20F low. Never did get it resolved.Today, Xmas Dinner, I pull it out to monitor the Leg of Lamb. It's been about 3 months probably since the last usage- was put away full charged- and I keep a high quality charger in the box just in case.Unit fought to turn on, beeping flickering constantly- showed charged- and even plugged in would turn back off after 30 seconds.Fortunate I could see the temp if I watched it long enough- but let's be honest here, it's a temperature probe with a touch screen. There shouldn't be so much to break.As a positive the push / remote monitoring was nice- could check the temp of the smoker from the bedroom. Only wish I'd gotten more use out of it before it went belly up.At nearly 80$ however I'd rather have 2 or 3 instant read push probes and make the 'epic journey' down to the smoker once or twice at night.... rather than have another tech brick which fails to do it's job.Tried to get a video of it randomly turning on and off, fully charged, but just don't have the patience while trying to cook dinner.

Used it from my brisket , great product with magnetWay better than Weber I-grill and wayyy cheaper

This is a really fantastic thermometer.I probably own 5 or 6 of these different thermometers now and this one is quite a surprise. Everything about this thermometer just exudes high quality.For example, the plastic case is soft-touch matte finished plastic, not cheap looking shiny plastic. It comes with a rechargeable battery, so no hunting around and flipping over your couch cushions to find 4 AAA batteries on the day of your big cook. And , it uses an industry standard USB-C charger for juice. The screen is backligt and BRIGHT. The touch buttons are very responsive, and you have the option to use wifi OR bluetooth.Overall I am extremely happy with this thermometer and will likely buy another for the cottage!

FURTHER UPDATED 10/2/24So I don’t know if they did an app update or what, but I found that if you leave the app active on your phone it will actually sound an alarm when it hits temp, and gives you an opportunity to silence all alarms - which is nice when the outside unit is LOUDLY beeping away. I restored my rating to 5 stars and am very happy with this unit now.UPDATE 7/27/23I wrote my initial review after testing the functionality but not actually grilling meat. Did a pork butt last weekend and all worked well EXCEPT the most important thing: an alarm. This app only sends a push notification when the target temp is hit - one ding at best. Thankfully I was watching closely and saw them. When I got to the grill the base unit was beeping like crazy, letting my neighbors know the meat was done! Wanted to send it back but I waited too long.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I have another Bluetooth unit very similar to this that I like a lot, but the remote unit is only good for the Bluetooth range. I wanted something that I could monitor over Wi-Fi so I could use it remotely on my phone from anywhere. This until fits the bill and works good.I like having the 4 probes which allows multiple settings for things like different cuts of meat, or vegetables, or even monitoring the temperature of the grill with the included grill clip. The different colored probe grips also helps to easily keep track of which probe is which.Since this unit’s settings are similar to the one I currently use, it was easy to set up the temp settings and alarms after getting it synced to the phone.After downloading the app to my phone there was a paring process that did not go well for me. At first I thought it was because we have a dual band Wi-Fi system - the Eero mesh, which uses both 5mhz and 2.44mhz bands. This unit works ONLY on the 2.44mhz bandwidth. After failing to pair twice, I found a setting on the Eero that pauses the 5mhz system for a few minutes so you can overcome just this problem. After doing that I was able to get the unit paired to my Wi-Fi and the app started working on my phone. From there, everything is done on the app except to turn on and off the temp probe unit that sits near the grill. The app is fairly straight forward and doesn’t have a lot of features so it’s easy to use. One feature that my other unit doesn’t have is the temperature history that shows the progress of the temperature over the time of the cook. This could be useful for gauging how long a similar cook will take in the future. It is not dynamic, however, so you have to go in and out of the history page for it to update the history - so you can’t watch it progress in real time if you sit on the history page.Overall I’m very pleased with this unit and think it’s reasonably priced for the functions it provides. It meets my needs and I recommend it for simple remote temperature monitoring.

Decent price point with all the necessary functions to monitor temp. Would like to have a function to see the entire cook progress on the graph, from start to finish- only able to see the last few hours on graph unless you scroll sideways. Maybe it exists but I haven’t figured it out yet. Wifi and Bluetooth connection works well- but the app looks and feels a bit rigid- like I’m being watched by some entity through the app…. Could use a softer touch in terms of app display and design etc to make the cooking process enjoyable. But in terms of function, very satisfied.

The unit in general is great, very visual and easy to use.the app is very useful, it is easy to setup and work with.Connector NOTE:The connectors are very sensitive, they fall out of the sockets at the least movement.
