I noticed the battery (built in) on My
Inkbirdbbq
IBBQ-4T 4 probe thermometer started acting wonky at the South Florida gathering where the battery life after full charge seemed to be draining much faster than I'm used to. Still works fine when connected to your average pocket sized battery bank. On Christmas I connected one of my many pocket sized battery banks to it via USB-C cable and it worked fine for close to six hours. This is really not a complaint because this unit is over 3 years old and has been used for hundreds of multiple probe cooks. I looked back and discovered it was close to three years old. This appliance is like my smoking left arm because of up to 4 probes and the fact that it is wifi connectable with the app, meaning I can check it anywhere I have cell service, not unlike typical blue tooth devices which have limited connection range. On Christmas I googled IBBQ-4T and discovered you can still buy the new units with 4 probes for a little over $37.00. I immediately ordered a replacement which arrived yesterday (Sunday).
Again, this is in no way meant as a ding on
Inkbird
.
I charged it and connected it to the app (Inkbird ) and it showed up on my app as IBBQ-4T2 on the app.
If your are still in the market for an up to 4 probe wired Wifi thermometer I still highly recommend it.
NOTE: to use this thermometer via wifi, your home wifi must be set up to accept 2.4Ghz wifi.
Again: with wifi connectivity you can check your temps anywhere you get cell service with the Inkbird app in case you need to run to the store or maybe the corner bar for a cocktail.
Current Amazon price this morning was $37.04 plus freight if you don't have Prime.
That's all smoke on.
