iDevices iGrill obsolete
I own an original iDevices iGrill thermometer. While I do not use it frequently, when I need it, it is a very handy device. Unfortunately, I have recently been forced to upgrade from the iDevices app to the Weber iGrill app and now my iGrill thermometer will no longer pair with my phone. I called customer service. While very friendly, their answer to my issue was that my device is obsolete and not supported by the Weber app and I need to buy a new Weber iGrill thermometer. This doesn’t feel like a reasonable answer when my device functioned just fine except that Weber decided to no longer support legacy iDevices devices from the product they purchased the rights to. Feels like they are trying to force users to scrap their old functioning devices in order to drive sales of Weber branded products.Show lessmjanders64
Bluetooth too weak
Got the Weber iGrill mini for a Christmas present. Already own two meat temperature sensor systems that have built in radio transmitters for their remotes. With those units I can sit in my living room and see how my cooking is going out on the patio a couple of hundred feet away. In contrast, the iGrill transmits using Bluetooth. The connection is lost if I’m more than about 20 feet from the grill, which invalidates the whole concept of remote sensing. If I’m that close to the grill I’m not going to pull out my phone to check the meat. The iGrill goes in the drawer where I put things I’m pretty sure I’m not going to use but that are too nice to throw in the trash.Show lessstankento
Horrible at staying connected
I thought this would be a great tool to help me when smoking. However every time I paired it, next to it, 3ft away, 6ft, 10ft, 15ft, didn’t matter how close or far, the thing always lost signal, or unable to stay connected. I spent more time reconnecting then actually using it. I took the batteries out and deleted the Bluetooth pair and then reinstalled it, still horrible at staying connected. It needs to be re-engineered or the app needs to be revamped. Needless to say I’ll probably get rid of it if the problem continues as I’ll be completely frustrated. Might just get an old school thermometer vs using this. Please fix or it’s finding a home in the trash.Show lessEd2524
A couple of minor fixes would make it better
I’m frustrated that the app sends me two sets of four alerts in succession when the target temperature is almost reached. One would be fine with me, not eight. If I could customize the notifications I wouldn’t have to disable them for this reason. Second, why can’t I adjust my target temperature above the recipe-specific temperature? Otherwise, I love the app and appreciate having the ability to monitor internal temperatures over Bluetooth.Show lessSippinZin
App needs some features
So overall as a instant temp for right now, the app works. However given you have historic data you’re collecting, a simple little math can come up with an estimated time for completion to cook something.
To me this is a very easy feature but one that is sorely missing. I use this to monitor temps while I smoke my meat and by adding a feature that looks at the trend of temps and the last few polls, it can easily put in a “estimated grill done temp” which would be awesome. All it would need to do is display it somewhere with the done temp and could even be a view within the graph to swipe to the right side so you can see the path of the temp change as you adjust the temp of your grill or smoker as it will modify the end cook time as well.
This one feature alone makes my old $15 thermometer far better as it could do that.Show lessJerimiahf

Thank you for your review and for your feedback! We are more than happy to share your suggestion with our team.So much better! Great updates!
So few months ago i would have never suggested the igrill to a friend because the app was so bad. With recent updates and tweaks it is soooo much better!! I can quickly select the type of food, how i want it cooked and what plug it is in. It flows great and is so easy to do! Great work on the updates! Keep up the great work! My only wish is you could save the graphs of the cook temps.Show lessPyrotech1620
Wow
Like most of you, I have quite a few apps that work well but have never taken the time to review. But WOW! This device and app have truly impressed me! I’m using it right now smoking a brisket and monitoring the smoke box temp. I have it dialed in for a temp range and have been in the pool all day. It notifies me on my watch when temp gets out of range and I make a small adjustment and all is good. Technology is so impressive! Way to go Weber! I have to say I’ve also been reading through the reviews and seen Weber’s responses to comments. Great product and great customer service. That’s about all you can ask for from a company!Show lessJim Landrith

Thanks for your review, Jim! We're glad to hear you are enjoying your iGrill and the accompanying Weber iGrill App. We hope this helps take your grilling and smoking skills to the next level this summer!Don’t buy
Just burnt a $50 brisket to crisp. Put on brisket for 8 hour smoke at midnight and went to sleep. Thought I would sleep well with my new I grill web app. Woke up to a nightmare. Didn’t get a notification or nothing. Went down at 5am to check it and it turned to charcoal, obviously due to some water charcoal ratio and water pan steaming off. Opened app and saw a nice silent pop up of OVER TARGET TEMP...no notifications when target temp reached...almost there, no setting options for notifications NOTHING...I would have been better off with no freaking thermometer....I got stupid and thought this was 2018 where technology worked and freaking app developers tested their iterations...piece of junk, do not buy or use app....recommend old school wayShow lessbryanh82
Great system overall
The app is nice and really easy to use great if you’re roasting something on the grill and want to be able to maintain a consistent ambient temperature. While also monitoring the internal temperature of whatever you’re cooking. The only real issue that I have is the ambient sensor I’ve got mine set up on a gas grill and temperatures on the grill can exceed the maximum capacity of the ambient probe they should use a different type thermocouple with a higher heat range and allow that to be programmed within the app to read the correct temperature.Show lessFSTWGN
Fantastic App and Thermometer
This is a fantastic app to monitor your foods temperature as you cook. The temperature graph is extremely useful especially when using an ambient probe.
My only gripe is that the main unit is Bluetooth only. While it works, the range is extremely limited. That’s a due to the limits of Bluetooth technology, not the product itself. I I’ll continue to use the iGrill2 for every cook until a WiFi version is released.Show lessThe Razor
