iGrill thermo - Page 2

tcoop4899 · 01-14-2013, 06:24 AM

I have the IGRILL device and i really like it although it is a little expensive at regular price. It cost more than the more popular maverick thermometors. The igrill connects with your "smart device" via bluetooth and seems to have a better range than the mavericks. There is also a graphing feature and a few other things within the free app that you need to load on your smart device in order to get the full advantage of the igrill. Overall i think it is pretty cool and worth the money if you want a little more than just a wireless thermo.

Their website says it works with some androids and has a list of compatibility if you click on the Android link http://www.igrillinc.com/android/index.shtml

Ok, yes i saw that it has two probes & perhaps you can answer my question: Will the probe that you use to monitor pit temp read temps as high as 400 degrees F? i have a wireless dig thermometer but it stops reading temps at 199 F so its no good for monitoring pit temp.

I purchased one of these and have had nothing but problems with the probes. I have gone through about 6 probes and have used it 8 times. They make an ambient temperature probe for the pit, but the one that I received was purchased as a gift. Used it once and it stopped working. Called to get it replaced, but the person who purchased it kept it a while before gifting it, so it was passed their 30 day return on probes. It looks cool, but it is basically a paper weight now. The device itself has been great and had no problems pairing, etc. The main issue is with the probes.

Yes I have had it up over 500 F

Unfortunately not available for the Nexus.

So for Android owners check compatibilty before you pull the trigger on a purchase! I have the Nexus as well as an iPhone so I could still use it....

For those of you that have one, do the probes have silicon or braided stainless steel covering?

J'ville Grill · 01-14-2013, 11:12 PM

I might stop by my local AT&T store tomorrow and pick one up.

They're showing in stock at several stores in my area but out of stock online.

Pyle's BBQ · 01-14-2013, 11:31 PM

Sorry J'ville, I just used the link above and checked for availability and it was showing they weren't in stock. I logged into my AT&T account and now they are showing in stock. I wished they would get their crap together.

They look like braided stainless steel to me.

Pyle's BBQ · 01-15-2013, 12:42 AM

I'm going to go to a store and look at them. If they are SS I may pull the trigger.

J'ville Grill · 01-15-2013, 12:57 PM

I just picked up a black Igrill from my local AT&T store. Got it for the online sale price of $59.25 and it does have 2 stainless steel probes!

I have a white one, with 2 stainless steel probes. I have lost connectivity to them in the middle of a cook, but all I need to do is tell my iPhone to forget about the pairing, and then re-pair.

I use it to monitor butts and birds in the smoker and/or oven.

I like it, even though I have my eye on a Maverick.
