If you use the Weber iGrill, do NOT update the companion app!

[CrazyHair]

The latest update does not let you set temperature alerts for your ambient probes. Additionally, you can only set alerts for meat probes up to 200 F. I just got off the phone and the support guy told me it will be weeks before those features are re-added.

Welcome CrazyHair and thank you for the update regarding the update!

Welcome to The Pit.

[CrazyHair]

Thanks for the welcome! I've been lurking for awhile but this iGrill update irritated me so much I had to share it.

[Craigar]

I guess I should try using my iGrill2 this weekend.

As it seems with all "updates" these days I take the wait and see attitude. My pilots jump right on them and then cry to me about connection problems etc......

Welcome CrazyHair that reminds me that I have a brand new iGrill 2 that I bought about 2 1/2 years ago and haven't open it it yet. That's what happens when you start getting old your memory starts to fade away along with some other features 😊.

Actually the Fireboard and the Flame Boss 300 are mine two favorites now Craigar

[Craigar]

That's right! Now my age is catching up to me! Ha! Fireboard just might be my next thermometer purchase and give the kid my iGrill2.

The Smoke is coming out with a gateway and app sometime this year. Too bad you have to purchase the gateway to download/use app. Might be able to capture some data with the Smoke.

Welcome to the Pit CrazyHair! Thanks for the update. Gotta wonder what they were thinking that update was going to help with!?

The igrill update not only removes the temperature range features, the alarms, custom cooks, it also broke the watch app that allowed for wifi connectivity as long as the phone was close to the pit. The graphing functions are also destroyed and you can no longer scale the plots or do anything with them. It is also amazing that you can't set the temperature for a brisket to be above 195. I think that the AmazingRibs.com gold award should be revoked until they fix this. How could a company like Weber allow this to be released? Calling support, which is usually great, was useless. They just tell you it isn't their fault. Really? They also tell you that there is no way to get the old app and that we all must be patient while they push out updates. Take a look at the reviews on the App Store. If I was the president of Weber, I would be appalled and embarrassed. Sorry for the rant but I got up at 4 am to smoke a brisket on my wsm and was shocked when I opened the app after happily updating it. We can trust Weber - right?. I should have read CrazyHair's post a few days ago and would not have updated the app.

I should have read CrazyHair's post a few days ago and would not have updated the app.

Is that even possible? The reason I am asking is, when Weber first took over I was forced to make an update to the app which switched from iGrill to Weber which was a downgrade at that time. Now I am hearing from you and CrazyHair that this app has further gone downhill. This weekend's cook should be interesting. stevey I will let you know if I can get away from updating the app before using it. Thanks for the info!
