Always Perfect
I’ve been using the Meater thermometer for several years now, with various meats and cuts, and each time the food is grilled to our desired temperature.
Wonderful part of my cooking arsenal!
Taking the guesswork out of the cook is such a nice feature! I will buy more of these for my cooking toolkit and as gifts!
Poor connection
Connection sucks. I have everything right next to each other and it constantly losses signal
Never Connects
Garbage.
Connection issues.
Ongoing constant issues connecting. This day and age and this price shouldn’t be an on going issue. Buy an instant read thermometer instead
The Best Product on the Market
The meater is the perfect tool for smoking. I have been smoking meat for 7 years and never got a brisket or pork butt up to 203 degrees until I got the Meater, which monitors the temperature at the grate, not at the top of the WSM smoker. I give it my highest recommendation.
Good app, could use a few improvements
Good overall but could use a few improvements.
1) For the graph of temperature versus time during a cook, give the option to show clock time (not elapsed time) on the x-axis. This would avoid the user’s needing to do math to calculate the end time of the cook.
2) Within the graph view, allow the user to swipe between cooks. I am more interested in the visuals than in the cook time estimates, which are often wildly inaccurate for my smoker.
3) Allow disabling the cook time estimate, which is unreliable in my smoker and often never converges, especially if the cook is interrupted (for example, if the smoker door is open for a while). I’m guessing that the slope of the temperature-time curve is just too shallow to get good estimates in a smoker, which is a low-heat, slow-cooking method.
4) Allow ending a cook if the probe is disconnected. It is disconnected because the meat is done and I’ve removed the probe and left it in the kitchen, but the app keeps alerting me about it.

Disconnect
This thing disconnects when I’m less than 10 feet away. And the won’t reconnect!!
Low quality
This thermometer constantly breaks connection with my phone in my pit boss grill!! At this point I believe it to be a waste of money!!!
Connecting
Many issues with connectivity.
Irritating app
A fairly well designed app, with two critical flaws:
1. No way to set up a single cook and immediately apply it to all probes. It takes multiple tedious clicks to use a recent cook for each other probe.
2. Too many notifications! It’s the neediest, most endlessly pestering app. Even if all notifications are shut off, it will still constantly clamor to let you know that a cook time estimate for a specific probe is now available by vibrating the phone. Who cares …?! Please developers: allow users to restrict notifications to actually important matters, like the target temperature is approaching.

Great Product
We have used the MEATER for over a year we’ve had nothing but great results!
Perfection
Anything I grill or smoke comes out perfect with the Meater
Impossible to connect
High hopes very low results. I hate this device

Loses Connection
It always loses connection.
Connection issues
Many times during my last bbq chick the connection with the box and MEATER failed even though they were 20 inches apart.
Traeger timberline
I own 3 metre probes
One pro series I’m starting to think they’re a big joke always a problem. Always a connection problem. When will you fix this?
I am on my sixth Traeger

An absolute must!
How did I live without this?? I have mostly used my MEATER to roast beef cuts in my oven and it is just essential! No more dry and over cooked meat :) It is extremely intuitive to use and I’ve also had to change the batteries once, and that was a cinch as well. Don’t hesitate!
Lost connection with Kamado Joe
The connection between the probe and my phone keeps disconnecting even when I am close to the probe
