      I have contacted them a number of times suggesting just as MeatMonster suggests.
      NO RESPONSE.
      I do hear of the single units beginning to be delivered and haven't heard much negative feed back SO?
      I believe I'm happy remaining wired up.

    I pre-ordered the block on New Year’s Eve after seeing an advertisement and looking at their website. Then I saw people had been waiting for 2 years for their block, and the company sent out an email saying they had more issues with hardware/software configuration so delivery date was unknown but wouldn’t happen until later this year. Not wanting to take a chance on an unknown product not to mention not knowing if I would get the product this year I cancelled my order. They tried to deny me a refund at first but I made clear that I was not a kickstarter backer, I was a regular customer responding to a website and if they didn’t refund I would dispute with the credit card company as fraud. All of a sudden my refund got approved. Anyone know if thermopro is coming out with a fire board type product?

      I put Thermopro just a notch above the Meater. Buy the Fireboard and get on with cooking....

      Agree with Troutman . You won't regret getting the Fireboard. Do a cost comparison with the Smoke/Wifi combo with the same number of probes as offered in Fireboard's Extreme BBQ package. Plus the Fireboard works great and customer service is awesome.

      I hate wires - they get in the way and never lie where you want them to. They also grab anything that gets close to them causing spills and other problems. And I would so like to monitor the temp of a rotisserie chicken without opening the kettle to check temps. SO, I have been waiting patiently for "The Block" for 2 + years. My. Patience. Is. Wearing. Thin...

      But I am still waiting 'cause there is no other option.

      Where I think this idea is great is for those of you with a rotisserie where wires just won't work. I can see buying the single probe, which is apparently shipping, if I had a rotisserie. Aside from that, I'll stick with my wired probes.

        I’m so glad that I didn’t invest my money on it.

            Well, he quit doing that a few years ago.

          The Meater Block is a novel approach to the wireless temperature measurement product category. While most competing products employ temperature probes tethered to a transmitter by a braided wire, the Meater builds the transmitter and battery to power it into the probe itself.

            I tried the Mavericks some years back. The wires hanging out of the smoker got to be a pita very quickly. I dumped them after 2 cooks. I found these fancy new wireless pit temp monitors that work great if I remember to look at them!

            They are expensive though about $3 a piece.

              I never put a meat probe in ribs, and in my offset just throw a single temp probe in the middle of the grate somewhere, to get an "average" temp. To be honest, the 3" Rochester (I think) dial thermometer is usually within 20 degrees of the Smoke probe at the grate level, and I have end to end variation of about 20, which is close enough for smoking I think...
