Weber 7203 iGrill Thermometer

Let me begin by saying that I never had the opportunity to use the old app so I can't compare it to the current version. I purchased mine in November of 2017 for $80 on Amazon. After using it for a few months, I found that a product review was needed for those interested in purchasing this. At the time, I was looking at the iGrill 2, iGrill 3 and the Thermopro-07/08.Out of the box, the unit comes with the basics to BBQ and grill. This included 2-tempurature probes, the unit, and other trinkets (e.g. sleeves to change the probe colors, a metal piece to adhere it a non-metalic surface etc.). The one thing I felt it lacked was the ambient probe. It was an easy fix, since I ordered the iGrill2 from Amazon, I also ordered the ambient probe for about $14 extra dollars. In my opinion I felt that the unit should have came with one meat probe and an ambient probe as well (total of two) rather than just two meat probes.When my unit arrived, my first cook was a whole chicken. i used the units presets to alert me when it was done. It worked great and was easy to set. I have put this unit to the test, BBQing at least 3 times a week. Over the past 2 months, I have used it for various cuts of meat. This includes, whole chicken, chicken quarters, chicken legs, beef steaks (various cuts), pork and beef ribs, pork butt and brisket to name a few.As a personal preference, I found that I occasionally use the pre-set temperatures and instead set the alerts to my liking. This is just because I noticed some of the preset temperatures were at a different temperature than my personal likings or that I wanted to pull the meat off prior to the preset to wrap or sauce. The presets give no option to setup this type of timer.The ambient probe is really good. It comes with a grill grate holder that it mounts in. It then lays about level with the meat you're cooking to monitor the meat. The other probes do what you want them to do as well (monitor the internal temperature). With two meat probes, I'm able to monitor two separate chunks of meat on the grill or (on a large piece) place them on both sides of the meat to ensure even cooking. As for the unit, it is very basic and can work without a phone (or other bluetooth device connected to it). If you don't want to use it with a phone or other device, you're limited to setting temps for each probe only. You also can also monitor each probes temperature from the iGrill device as well.Now, I'll talk a little about the app. Again, I've only used the current (as of this review) version of the app. I can't see a way to show what version my app is. It appears that it was designed by someone not into cooking/BBQing/Grilling. There are many features that I think the app could use to make it much more tailored to each user's need.One thing I would like to see in later features is the ability to 'modify' the preset temperatures. Another modification would be to add a search feature on the presets. As it is now, you need to choose the 'type' of meat you're cooking, then scroll through the alphabetical order list. One 'smart' feature that I think would be nice to add is for the app to notice a fast drop of temperatures (e.g. from 245 degrees to a fast drop to 110 degrees within seconds). This would be useful when you need to lift the lid and mop your meat or add some fuel (charcoal) to the grill and not want to have your app start beeping at you to warn you the temperature is too low. I know there are other additions that the app could use, but these are just my thoughts for now.Overall, if you're considering getting this Weber iGrill2 to add to your tools, I would recommend it. I would say that there are other probes and devices that do the same for less. Some are bluetooth and some are not. If you want to stick with the Weber brand, like I did, then go for it. I paid $80 (on sale from Amazon) for the unit and another $14 for the extra ambient probe.

The best product I’ve used with the longest lasting probes.CONs: (listed first because everything sucks a little) Bluetooth range is limited to about 40 feet when traveling though multiple home walls. This is a function of the technology not the device. When using the Apple Watch app it doesn’t always update the temp. This may be a result of a failure to refresh itself when you travel in and out of Bluetooth range. The brightly colored silicone labels on each probe turned black no matter how hard I tried to keep them clean. Maybe I’m not good at cleaning or maybe using them in a charcoal smoker is too unforgiving. After about 14 month of use (2-4 days a week) one of the 4 ports started malfunctioning. It gave an error (-Dc) and cycled randomly through temperatures. This persisted on port 1 with all probes. Ports 2-4 continued to function.PROs There is a 2 YEAR WARRANTY! Every thermometer I’ve had has crapped out eventually. None of them have lasted two years. After answering some basic email questions and providing a short video of the unit malfunctioning (on one of four ports) I received an entire new setup in the mail complete with new probes. The probes still function just fine. I’ve learned over the years to carefully wash thermometer probes and avoid wetting the cord/probe interface. They’ve still lasted much longer than previous device probes. The graphical time vs temp display option on the app is useful when estimating completion of the cook. Any probe can be setup to monitor cooker temperature and alert you when it has deviated from your pre set temperature band. You can label and store favorite temperatures e.g. chicken thigh 165F, pork loin 140F. When the batteries start running low it tells you with an app notification. If you ignore it for a few more cooking sessions, it will pop up with a 10% remaining message.

I bought this because Traeger can’t seem to figure it out. I have a Traeger and could never get it to sync so I bought this. I really do love it! I connects via Bluetooth which I thought would be an issue but have no issues watching the temperature from my chair indoors. I also like when you start your grilling session and select the meat it shows the optimal temperature setting. I recommend this for anyone looking to not have to walk outside and check temp.

When cooking good steaks it works well. Temp monitoring and bluetooth connection works well. Much better than the Mini version. Perfect steaks every time.

Excelente artículo. Es sumamente preciso y ayuda a lograr platillos exquisitos. Es fácil de usar, está coqueto y la aplicación es muy amigable. Nuestro Weber, mi esposo y yo lo recomendamos ampliamente.

Fabulous Accurate Weber Thermometer! Works on any BBQ and/or Kitchen. Matched with spirit E-330 Weber. Prime Rib turned out perfect for first use. Now you do not need to keep checking your cooking and lifting that lid unnecessarily allowing that heat to escape. The i-grill 2 app works with precision and graphs your cooking time. You set the type of fauna on your grill and indicate how cooked you want it to be (Rare, Medium all the way to well done). Temperature set automatically and when reached you are notified. No need to be concerned about weight of the meat. Highly recommend.

Die Grilltemperatur wird exakt angegeben. Mit der App eine super Überwachung des Grillvorganges.

Muy buen producto. Ya probado en varios tipos de cortes. Excelente la aplicación fácil de usar.

Comes with 2 probes but has space for 4 if you want. This item is awesome. It’s so accurate. I use it for most of my bbq’ing now. Download the app. It’s so easy to use. Now all your meats will be just the way you want them. A must have if you like to BBQ. Wish I had purchased years ago.
