    Meater Block - Took three years, I guess I can wait another 8 hours ;)

    I received my Meater Block today. First step is to charge the probes for 8 hours. ARRRGG! I was hoping to use this baby out of the box, but I guess another 8 hours won't kill me. Craftsmanship looks good, time will tell. Oh yea, I got 4 free meater coasters for waiting so long

      Yea keep us informed. I’m not running out to sign up just yet but eventually I think all of us will end up wireless. Remember how wonderful the Motorola Brick cordless phone was?

        I am definitely of th opinion that wireless will bloom, an dominate...

        I'm a patient sorta feller, so I'll wait til it comes into reliability, an affordability...

        This is why I ain't blown no holes in my cookers, especial any vintage ones...

        Th stickburners already got ports in em, where th bimetals usedta live ;p Ain't no thing to add / remove, on a steel offset.
        Webers, not so much!

        Well I want a chip implanted in my head so that all I have to do is sit in my recliner, think about a perfectly done steak and there it is in front of me. When I asked my spouse if she could fulfill that fantasy she spit in my face she laughed so loud. Thus the story of my life...carry on.

          I'd like to see if you have issues with the probes' "meat" and "ambient" temps being 20 or so deg off from each other just lying on the table... they should be identical one would think. Hopefully mine are a unique case.

          Enjoy!

            RonB I haven't yet. I wanted to do more tests to get some useful info for them. I will be cooking again today and will document and then reach out. Perhaps I got a bad run pf probes, I'll let them decide that once I have more data.

            I will be curious to see how long it will take them to replace the probes, if need be. Huskee

            All four of mine are identical internal temperatures straight out of the block. The ambient temps are a few degrees apart, but very close. I have not had a chance to cook with them and see what happens after the first cook, but will keep ya'll posted.

          Lucky guy, you must have been Kickstarter...those of us over in Indiegogo land are mostly still waiting. In three weeks, I'll have been waiting 3 years as well. They're claiming we'll get them by March so I'm assuming it's more like just in time for Labour Day. SUPER stoked to try them out though...let us know how you do with them!
