Our full review
The MEATER Plus wireless smart meat thermometer takes the guesswork out of grilling and barbecuing by combining a sleek, 100% wireless probe with smart technology that keeps you connected to your cook from a distance. Unlike traditional thermometers tethered by cords, the MEATER Plus uses a dual-sensor design to simultaneously monitor internal meat temperature and ambient cooking temperature, giving you a complete picture of how your food is progressing whether it's on a smoker, gas grill, charcoal kettle, oven, or even an open flame. Its extended Bluetooth range, boosted through a built-in repeater, allows the probe to communicate with your smartphone from up to 165 feet away, meaning you can step inside, mingle with guests, or relax on the porch without hovering anxiously over the grill. Built specifically for the demands of backyard grilling and BBQ enthusiasts, the MEATER Plus pairs with a free companion app that walks you through the entire cooking process. Choose your cut of meat and desired doneness, and the app calculates estimated cook times, sends real-time temperature updates, and provides a guided cooking experience with alerts as your food approaches perfection. The probe itself is crafted from food-safe stainless steel and is fully wireless and waterproof, making cleanup simple and eliminating the tangle of wires that often complicates traditional grilling setups. Its rechargeable base extends battery life for long smoking sessions, ensuring you can tackle low-and-slow briskets or ribs that take hours without worrying about power running out mid-cook. What truly sets the MEATER Plus apart in the grilling and BBQ space is its blend of convenience and precision, appealing to both weekend grill masters and serious barbecue competitors. The app's smart alerts notify you when it's time to flip, baste, or pull your meat off the heat, while the guided cook feature accounts for carryover cooking to ensure your steak, poultry, or roast reaches ideal doneness every time. Compatible with iOS and Android devices, and even offering voice control integration with Alexa, the MEATER Plus fits seamlessly into modern outdoor cooking routines. For anyone serious about elevating their grilling game while enjoying more freedom and less stress during the cook, the MEATER Plus stands out as a reliable, tech-forward companion built specifically for the art of barbecue.
The range on this thing is incredible. I can monitor my brisket from inside the house while it smokes for hours outside. The app guidance takes the guesswork out of doneness.
Love the wireless freedom and accuracy, but cooking a big turkey and a side of ribs at once means I really need a second probe. Still, quality is top notch.
No more running back and forth to check temps. The ambient sensor helps me monitor grill temp too. Battery lasts through most cooks and the charger case is handy.
Works great most of the time, though occasionally the app loses connection briefly. Charging case recovers it fast. Overall very happy with the accuracy and ease of use.
