The BEST you can buy

Combustion Inc makes the literal best products. High quality, reliable, straight forward, and every detail was thought through carefully. I find the meters are always connected when they should be, the temperature readings are always accurate, and the app works flawlessly. I couldn’t be happier. I’ve used all kinds of products in this space and they all have their faults. I can’t find a single fault for Combustion Inc.

Terrible

Can’t get devices connected. Instructions aren’t correct and app is worthless.

Awesome product

Really love the thermometer, and Chris' YouTube science to go with it. Would be cool if the app had some extra features like saving graphs for historical comparison, an API to consume data for whatever you wanna do with it, maybe social features to share with other cooks what you're cooking with it.

Poor

The website is awful. My new thermometer arrived missing the charger. The email to “help” is not active. The instructions are poorly written. The app is frozen.
Need I say more?
Waste of time and money

5 star

Probe is thin and easy to insert. Whole ecosystem just works. It’s next level. Recommended.

Title

Having to uninstall and reinstall the app every single cook is very frustrating, especially at the price point….but the thermometer works after you do so

Like it so well, I bought one for my son

Love the gauge. I’m having trouble getting the temp probe to work. Once I figure this out it will be perfect!

Great Thermometer

I really like my combustion inc thermometer. It’s improved my ability to cook meat tremendously. I’d really like to save my favorite presets for different target temps though. Please add.

Did my probe break?

The ambient temperature reads ‘no data’ after I used it on the grill. I thought the probe could withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees. The website shows it being used on the grill in a steak. Did my probe break down?

Data Informed Cooking

Love this system and use it for everything. Seeing multiple temp data points in real-time visualize the heat and evaporative cooling process…mind blown. Seeing the resting process after cooking and the temp increase before peak internal temp occurs, super cool. Csv export is a very nice touch and testament to science. Well done.

Thermometer doesn’t connect

The thermometer often does not connect to the WiFi extender nor the app. Defective product

Awesome Product

Hardware delays aside and a few growing pains with the original items, this app paired with the equipment is the most robust and enjoyable to use that I’ve ever used. Once fully matured, this combination will be the industry standard of what to beat!

Great kitchen tool

System is incredibly accurate. Allows you to plan side dishes using the projected completion time for your roast.

GGG and the app

Works amazing

This is fantastic!

Wish we bought this years ago!

Home Screen Temperatures

On an average sized iPhone, on the Home Screen, probe temps are cut off so you don’t see the last digit. In the app you can tap each probe temp to disable them. Why not then only show the enabled temps so you can see the whole temps on the Home Screen?

Worst experience ever x 2

How can this product get a good review? Out of the ~50 times I’ve tried to use the device, and Combustion replacing it once, I’ve had about 5 seamless experiences. Doesn’t pair, is unpaired the next time, looses connection in the oven, the started working again, then failed, now it’s just a $175 and dozens of hours of wasted time ($1000’s of my life). I bought a chef IQ and it’s working like a charm. Never again.

Works great

Yellow turns brown after first use. Hard to clean.

Should be black. Chris must use new probe each video.

Essential

Like wow. Kenji recommended it. I bought it. I use it. It delivers every time.

A breakthrough!!

Very satisfied with this. A small issue is the app can’t always find the device on the first attempt which just means I lose 10 seconds. Once it is connected it remains connected.

Very accurate and easy to use

It takes all the guesswork out of cooking
