Combustion’s Predictive Engine™ estimates exactly when that will be, using the data from 8 onboard sensors (the most of any cooking thermometer). Important firmware updates! The Combustion App includes the latest firmware updates for Predictive Thermometers and other Combustion Accessories including Boosters, Displays, Giant Grill Gauges and other forthcoming products. Firmware updates improve core functions including time-to-cook predictions, longer battery life, and can add new features. MeatNet™ Cloud – for functionally unlimited range!

The Combustion App works with iOS as well as iPadOS and MacOS (M1 or newer). Includes Live Activity (Dynamic Island) display feature so you can watch key temps even when the app is in the background. So handy!

Advanced graphing on the Combustion App helps you visualize exactly how heat moves through your food. You will understand the relationship between ambient cook temps and surface temps. And how surface temps really control how long things take – and how evenly food cooks. It may shock you to find out the oven temp (or grill temp) you set is not the same as the food is actually experiencing! The Combustion Inc app puts all that knowledge in front of you – with instant feedback, so you’re not just cooking better, you’re also learning as you go. And learning has never been so delicious.
