I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

<p>Whether you're an award winning pit-master or a novice backyard griller, the iGrill2 Bluetooth Smart Grilling Thermometer makes grilling and smoking easier, more convenient and a whole lot smarter. With a 150-foot Bluetooth Smart range, you can get back to your guests and keep a close watch on the temperature progression of your meat from your mobile device, using the free iDevices Connected app. You’ll receive an alert once the meat is cooked to perfection. This iGrill2 Sam's Club exclusive is packaged with four Pro Meat probes so you can monitor multiple pieces of meat at once! You’ll never want to cook any other way, and with the iGrill2, you won't have to. Now, you can grill and smoke meats with the precision you've always dreamed of.</p>Tags: None

I have an iGrill II, and I'm not sure about it yet, I wanted to be able to download cook logs but have not found a way to do it, so back to the Maverick for me, If I run the kettle and the PBC at the same time I'll use it then. There was a huge difference between the Maverick and the iGrill readings and I have more confidence in the Maverick.

1987 Weber Kettle (Still going!)

Thermoworks Thermapen

Bought this Sunday at Sams Club in Rapid City for $79.91. Haven't used it in the smoker yet but it seems to read ambient room temperature ok. All four probes register within 1 degree of each other. Hope to take it for a test drive this weekend.

When you're using the iGrill there is a screen you spend most of your time on that shows a temp and graph of each probe that you are using. If you select one of those temps another screen will pop up that shows only that one temperature/graph. You then select the menu that pops up from the bottom of the screen and there will be an option to save the graph data. Click that and you should be able to email your data wherever you like! Note you have to do this for each probe graph you wish to save. So if you have 4 probes worth of data you want to keep you'll have to save 4 files.

CeramicChef, I did calibrate at both temperatures. In fact, the Maverick was even worse at cooker temps. I just recently did that calibration, and I need to consult my notes on exact differences. But it seems to me that if the temp is off at one point, it will be consistently off at least that much. And for Thermoworks at least, that is how they recommend calibrating, in an ice bath, at 32 degrees.

If you have a device you can dedicate to the igrill while you are cooking, you'll probably like it. The bluetooth was not sufficient for me to walk to the basement without me losing connection on my iPhone. I couldn't really go very far anywhere in my house without losing my connection. I use my phone all the time, so this was not an option for me, so I returned mine. Amazon return policy rocks!
