Bluetooth temp probes/monitors?

[clubmanager]

Any real-world reports/recommendations? Looking for something wireless that displays on my phone if possible.
Of course there’s a bunch on Amazon but reviews there are always dodgy.

There are a number of bluetooth (BT) options. They work but be aware that their range is limited. There are new ones claiming longer range via the newer BT version but most cell phones are still on earlier BT versions therefore the range is still limited. Better solution is wifi both for range and you can keep tabs on things when running errands as well. Personally, I use the Signals unit from thermoworks.

@Inkbird is a sponsor on here. They have pretty good products. Ive been using the 4 probe for several years now without a hitch. Recently got their wireless probe and am really liking it.

Thanks. After some reading, I’ll narrow things down to Inkbird, Thermopro and Thermoworks….i have one of their instant-read handhelds and it’s fantastic.

This is hands down better than the Ink bird BT I have. Much better range.

I have the inkbird IBBQ-4T and it's worked great. Got it it 2021 and use it almost weekly. Battery life is phenomenal I've only charged it 2 or 3 times

Hello From SE Florida.
I bought the new Inkbird wireless exclusively to use on rib roasts and anything on the rotisserie.
As far as B/T goes it seems to work well on the patio. Personally I'll dispute the accuracy of the ambient temp part of the probe. In my tests the internal temps were very close to my proven wired thermometers, but I Always have a grid level probe because I'm weird that way.
I love my inkbird I-BBQ4T (4 probe wired) as it is accurate and has Wi-fi, meaning once set up you can check temps anywhere you have internet on your phone/tablet. (like the grocery store or corner pub).

My inkbird battery quit after a little over a year and only used a few times so it isnt all roses with them. I prefer the Thermoworks signals.

Personally, I use the Signals unit from thermoworks.

I won one in a throw down . Quality from top to bottom . Awesome unit .

I bought a Fireboard after some reading; hard to find a negative review and made just down the road....a bit.

Shoutout for the Fireboard…and my Smokin Brothers smoker. Both were spot-on together for the Pork Crown Roast I did yesterday and the brisket today.
