KenInk, was kind enough to send me a 6 probe IBT-6X Smart Wireless BBQ Thermometer, to try and Review.
Even though I was given it to trial and review, I believe, what I post here, is Honest and accurate as I see it.
I have never used a Bluetooth equipped Piece of Cookware before.
Box showed some signs of Postal Damage, But no harm to the unit , its packed away rather neatly.
Out of the Box and a Quick read of the Basic instruction booklet, I fitted the batteries not supplied after working out how to access them.
I was scared of damaging the housing.
Grabbed my Samsung Tablet and hit up BBQ GO and straight away ran into problems, My Tablet was too old.
No big Problem, Grabbed my Samsung Android Phone and down loaded the App.
Most simplistic thing I have ever done,easy to load and simply Brilliant to connect.
The booklet is short on information but the App virtually guides you thru the setup.
Comparisons with My Maverick ProTemp showed very little difference, ambient and Boiling Water.
Once you have a play with it ,its easy to set up and save your own Temperatures, Both High and Low.
What I really Like is its simplicity, you can flick between Celsius and Fahrenheit and your Programming follows .
That great with Recipes on the internet
I could post in C and you can enter and change to F and Vice versa.
The transmitter has a large face and is easily read.
I have been using a Maverick Redi Check and had a continual problem with disconnect, 25 feet away through a Brick wall.
Dropped out when our Microwave was used, then would not auto Reconnect.
I gave the INKBIRD a thorough work out ,through a Tin shed , brick wall and 30mtrs approx this signal faded, microwave did not affect it and when I walked or drove back in Range ,it always auto reconnected.
Means I can sit next door and have a few beers with my Neighbor while watching my Cooking.
We tried the Inkbird out on a Pork Shoulder then Later a Chicken.
While the Pork was Cooking we set up the Acorn for Chicken, just too have a Play.
I like how you can be monitoring and setting up another cook at the same time.
Simply plug in the probes and the App recognizes it almost instantly.
The probes tend to be larger than I have used before, but I can see this product being great in our hot smoke Cabinet , with different Produce being cooked.
I have no Idea how much this will cost in Australia but we are getting Amazon down here in a few months.
I would recommend this product to my Friends but with the usual disclaimers.
Watch the probes, they are not water proof and watch the temps on them.
Make sure your Phone or Tablet are compatible.
I would prefer a smaller probe for the pit temp myself but it works.
Amazingly simple to use, a better instruction booklet or online tutorial would be nice.
Hope you find this Helpful and thank you to Inkbird/KenInk for allowing me to be part of it
