Anyone have any recommendations for wireless/bluetooth meat thermometers for pellet smokers? Have been looking at this one for a while as I’m just starting and have heard really good things about it. Not looking to break the bank since I’m just starting and this one is a prime day deal. Thanks!

I’ve used mine a lot and it works really well, but you have to keep the base very close to the probe when using it. If I have meat on the smoker, I have the base stuck on the hopper. If in the oven, I use the magnet to stick it to the front of the oven. It’ll send you a notification that it’s disconnected if that happens.
I assume it’s not part of a prime day deal, but apparently the newest version has upgraded Bluetooth to somewhat address proximity connection issues.
I own the exact Meater in the picture. I absolutely hate it. I’d recommend staying as far away from it as possible. The external temp ALWAYS reads 50°-60° low. The cook time it calculates is laughable. The internal temp readings are always +/- 20°-30° off from my calibrated meter. If you’re looking for consistency, avoid Meater.
I have had nothing but great results with my meater, I love it! I went all out and got the new meater 2+
I got the Meater Block with the 4 Probes when it was brand new. The only annoying thing is, that it sometimes looses connection when I wrap my food with aluminium foil. But thats a problem every wireless probe will have.
Don’t do it! Just don’t… Waste of your money – It will CONSTANTLY drop the connection to your phone, it is absolute garbage. I got the Meater 2 since it can withstand 500deg celcius, but man it is a pain to use it. I can literally only walk like 5-10meters away and it will have dropped the connection.
I can reconnect, but I mean it is ALWAYS notifying me that it lost connection. Are there any workarounds? Maybe… Do I want to find them? No! A premium product should work straight out of the box.
