The Memphis Mobile App is the best way to connect and monitor your Memphis Wood Fire Grill. Easily check your food from home, work, the store, or your car (the passenger seat, of course). Get a text or email when your grill or meal has reached temperature, allowing you to prep the next treat or spend time with your guests instead of watching the grill. Plus, built-in automated recipes know exactly at what temp and how long to cook your favorite cuts of meat. Unlike many other grill monitoring apps, the Memphis Mobile App works through the cloud, meaning that as long as your cell phone has a connection and your grill is connected to your home Wi-Fi network, you can literally check your grill from anywhere in the world. With space for up to 3 meat probes you can monitor your meats to individual preferences to please the most choosey of guests. Happy grilling!
