Thermoworks Smoke Gateway (Wifi) coming...

[BriggsBBQ]

I hope they make good on their promises. Lot's of people on here bought it. I almost did too.

[JGrana]

It has been one of my more disappointing Kickstarter backings... I still hold out hope. With $2M raised I would think they have something....Maybe this month ;-)

[BriggsBBQ]

Going to start a Kickstarter called Beater to beat up the people that are behind the Meater.

[JGrana]

Hope so, they keep posting adds on Facebook. I mean it's the Internet right?
;-)

[Jerod Broussard]

Have not heard. I forgot that thing even existed, or does it even exist?

[JGrana]

Speaking of thermometers with Wifi, anyone get a Meater yet? Last I heard, they were claiming shipments starting in late January. I am hoping this month!!!

[BriggsBBQ]

My condo has some security cameras I thought about hanging the a unit in front of the camera.

She's not exactly thrilled about the temp checking requests, and I'm not thrilled with her slow response time, so this will be a welcome addition with my MCS!

TRIGGERED!!!!!!!! Best excuse for an MCS attack I've ever seen!!!!

"Yes, Hello, Thermoworks? JPGators here, Yes of Amazingribs.com fame. My wife just flared up my MCS, again. So I guess I am looking for the new Smoke Thermometer.........Yeah the new Smoke thermo.......Yeah yeah. Yeah, I'll take two. "

[ecowper]

My understanding is that the Smoke Gateway is going to be $90 and only support one Smoke. Fireboard is $190 for the base unit plus 1 grate probe and 2 meat probes. Or $250 for 2 grate probes and 6 meat probes, although you can only use 6 probes at one time.

Looks cool but I wish they would make a wireless interface for their ThermaQ. ;-)

Or a wireless ThermaQ...because yeah...I clearly need yet another one. LOL

JPGators17 Thermoworks says the MSRP of the Gateway will be $89.

[JPGators17]

I don't see a price for the Gateway listed yet. If adding it puts the total package up to $189, I can see your point.

[Histrix]

Anybody thinking about buying a Smoke and WiFI Gateway Combo should take a good look at the Fireboard thermometer.

Same price but with more capabilities.

So it sounds like the gateway is a relay - converting the existing wireless signal and broadcasting a wifi signal.

Y'know, thinking of all the bluetooth devices out there, wouldn't it be cool for there to be a device you could pair with one or more to broadcast over wifi?

You know what I do? I have a camera supposed to be used as a baby monitor. I've repurposed it to be a BabyQ cam. Problem solved (for me anyway).

Brilliant!
