Transform your bbq
Looking at the reviews before purchasing, they looked overwhelmingly positive, but I was concerned by some of the reviews that showed inaccurate and widely variable temperatures, melting components and difficulty connecting to phone. My experience is still early (just got it a week ago), but so far very impressed. On arrival, I had no issues setting up or linking to my android phone. In a glass of ice water all 6 read 36 or 38 degrees and in a pot of boiling water 4 read 212 degrees and 2 read 210 degrees - all within the advertised accuracy ranges. There was a review stating the black plastic wire coiling rack that surrounds the teflon color coated probe grip melted in the oven. The instructions indicate the wire coiling rack is only rated to 170 degrees and is supposed to be removed from the probe grip before placing in grill or oven - it is for convenience of cable management during storage and works well for that.I am using the system right now to smoke a brisket, and it has transformed the experience from prior to having this system. 8 hours in so far, I have 4 probes in the 6 lb brisket and 2 on the grill rack clips to monitor surface temp. Have had no issues connecting to my phone, able to set specific target temp alarms specific to each probe to make sure grill doesn't get too hot, can watch trends in temperature over time to see slow steady rise of meat temp as well as dips and rises in grill temp when I open to add more wood chips to the smoker box. It would be nice to be able to change the scale of the time axis to look back over a longer period of time, but for a sub $50 system I am so far very pleased.

Great Product, but probes have wires (not seen in photos)
I'm very happy with the product and want to share a few things I found after a month of use.1. Make sure you plug your probes into the unit in the right order, because the app will show port one as green, two as blue, 3 as red, etc.. and unless you used the green probe for port one, you will not be in sync with the app.2. The photos don't show the wires that go to the unit. It is only wireless between the unit and your phone, not between the probes and the unit which is what I thought at first.3. The probes have a thick plug at the end and they won't pass through the hole in my Pit Boss made for temp probes, so I have to close the lid on the cords.4. Range is good, connection strong, preset temps for various meats is helpful in the app although programming custom temps could be more intuitive.5. Very good price/value vs others similar makers.6. I'm happy I have it and use it all the time and recommend this product.

I love this thing
If this thermometer broke today. I would buy another one tomorrow to replace it. Because of the Bluetooth connected to my phone I do not have to hover over the grill. I can be with my friends. I grill three to four times a week. I cannot say enough about this piece of equipment. My wife is very particular how she likes her meat. And I can get it exactly like she wants it with this thermometer.

Directions inadequate
Screen visibility is good and linkage via Bluetooth was relatively simple. I have only used once so hesitant to urge others to buy or not buy. It is as advertised but I did find the User Manual a bit skimpy on utilization regards the Ports, Probes as to any particular one port that must be used, why the color code if all probes the same or is that for users who wish to apply color to each different meat or veggie being grilled, roasted, Smoked etc? Outside of that comment I found the alarms and use of my iPhone great over carrying around another remote monitor. Kudos on that feature that actually works. I like it so far and after a few more trials will purchase one for my son-in-law if it holds up.

Added Verstility
I have a Treager Wifi Grill that is pellet and a 6 burner gas grill.- The Traeger has a built in temp guage; however the meat does not cook evenly because the sizes are different. With this device, i have multiple temp guages that ensure desired temperature.- When i cook lamb, I prefer to use the gas grill to maintain the integrity of the marinade and not mixed it with wood. This way each meat has its own flavor. I am now able to cook lamb on the gas, chicken on the Pellet/ Gas and even fish on Gas, steak on Pellet and have multiple probes to inform temperature. What is great is that the alarm can be set for each of the 6 probes ie: Chicken 165, Steak Med rare 130, Lamb rare 120 etc.- Lastly - with the temp gauge, no need to open the grill and lose temp in the process... which accelerates the cook processSO glad i found this!

Monitoring multiple cuts of meat
This product includes 6 probes to monitor 6 different cuts of meat at the same time. Or monitoring more than one portion of a large cut of meat. Temperatures are displayed on the included monitor for each probe, separately, as well as on an App you can download on a smartphone or IPhone that includes multiple types of foods/meats while allowing you to set the target temperature and monitor each probe on your smartphone.

Buy it! It's great!
This thing was awesome! I've only used two of the six probes, but it seemed very consistent with the other two digital thermometers which I own. Additionally, I was able to monitor the temperature of the meat, and the internal temperature of the smoker. I like that I could check at any point in time to see what the temperatures were. I could even go into my basement and still maintain a connection with the smoker outside of the home. My only request is that I wish I could turn off the audible alarm on the temperature monitor itself. I obviously can turn off notifications on my phone, but I wish I could turn off the noise that the outside device emits.
