Looking for recommendation for a 4 probe wireless meat thermometer. I really don't want blue tooth, I have an Igrill 4 probe and really like the unit itself, but my gosh the range for me is only about 30 feet. Would prefer wifi but that could be cost prohibitive but definetly willing to look anyone know of any good 4 probe rf units? Thanks for any and all suggestions.

The Fireboard is the one for me. Once you set the system up with your BT phone, it will connect to your WiFi and work anywhere that you can connect to the net. I've monitored my cook while 30-miles away taking the family to a brunch.

If you have a bluetooth device to spare, I think there is a way to put your bt device close to the igrill and you can transmit as wi-fi from that device.

Crud I never thought of using the IPad v IPhone. That's why you so smart Ron B but I'm still with Kathyrn... you know it's coming. I almost made a religious reference. It's not here but you still prepare. fzxdoc I want the wireless probe thingys. Just tell them who you are and make it happen. 😀😇

I ended up upgrading from the iGrill2 to the Fireboard... and I've never looked back. Huge upgrade.
The iGrill had big connectivity issues for me; I couldn't trust it during an overnight cook to wake me up with the alarm. On nearly every overnight cook, despite me sleeping on the couch 20 feet away (there's no way it would keep a connection in the bedroom), I would wake up having lost the connection for hours.
With the Fireboard, the BT connectivity is much better, but more importantly, the WiFi connectivity enables me to go to work, sleep in my own bed, go to the store, etc. and still monitor what's going on.
That said, it is a pretty penny, there's no denying it... but, in my view, it's worth the pretty penny over the iGrill

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. 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.
The Fireboard is nice but if you are looking for something for a Kamado Joe I would highly recommend the Flame Boss 300 it already has the fan and you can monitor it on your browser.

fzxdoc - I don't think you will see that any time soon. With all the electronics inside the probe, it will be very hard to get the probes much smaller. Did you notice that the probes must be inserted far enough to protect the electronics from pit temps?

Current line-up of cookers: Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Pro, Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050, Blackstone ProSeries 4 Burner 36" griddle, Weber Performer Deluxe and Weber Smokey Joe.
I have had good results with my Tappecue. A little cheaper than the Fireboard, and does everything I need it to. I think I paid about $160.
