    It's not a controller, but an "informer"?

    Technically, it looks like just a new version of their iGrill, albeit with Wifi and not Bluetooth (thankfully).

    However, I'm sure Weber has noticed how advanced the apps are for the major Sous Vide devices. They are much more digital assistant-esque than the apps have traditionally been for BBQing. This seems to be trying to get that into the BBQ market -- much more in the "I want to cook chicken, guide me through the process" type thing.

      I went to the link and watched the video. Everyone is happy with their food. I think it is a music device that crescendos when the food is done.

        Based on the video I think if I get one, I'll be better looking. And so will my friends. Sold!

        Like Flight of the Valkyries? No, I guess that starts with the crescendo...

        "Informer" eh? What are they calling it, the iSnitch?

        Wi-Fi is a welcome addition. I have an iGrill and really like the software, the AppleWatch app is awesome. The one downfall is the incredibly short Bluetooth range. This appears to address that issue. Now, all they need is the ability to control a fan.

          Our Thermometer Master, Bill McGrath, will be getting one to test soon. Stay tuned.
