    This is an amazing, high quality device. I'm using it almost weekly for the last 2 ish years. Never failed on me. When cook roast (more than an hour) easily can leave home and can check remotely temperature/s of the cut. With 4 probes you can stick it in the different pars to compare internal temperatures. Anyhow, a year or 2 ago I created video about BBQing the best roast utilising the listed probe. For those who interested, the video is here https://youtu.be/AWmnkt41LTE
    Feel free to ask away any questions. BTW, I'm not affiliated, just over impressed by quality, precision and usability of the product.

      does it work with steak

      • Kapitoshka on 29/08/2022 - 14:52

        It is a thermometer and will measure temperature of everything. I'm not just sure if I'd leave steak for any prolonged cooking.

      • Cheaplikethebird on 29/08/2022 - 14:54

        I use this for reverse seared steaks about once a fortnight. Works great.

      • Ham Dragon on 29/08/2022 - 15:03

        You shouldn't need a probe for a steak, unless it's a very thick (it 2") piece. Even then cook time & feel should be sufficient to get a perfectly cooked piece of steak. Heat the BBQ as hot as you can, use a decent amount of seasoning (little bit more than you usually would) sear & turn every 30-40 seconds, then rest for 7-10 minutes. Works every time, and also with pork / chicken etc. Perfectly done, juicy & tender every time.

          That works if cooking that method, reverse seared on something like a Kamado is very different and probe is very necessary to ensure its perfect every time.
          Once I started the reverse sear method I've never gone back to the old 7-10 minute way

            @cook99: Yeah, sorry should have stipulated not reverse sear & just for a regular BBQ! I'd love to mess around with a Kamado & other exotic cookers but lack the time (and impetus to get one onto my 2nd storey deck!).

              @Ham Dragon: Yeah it's definitely a more than just cooking once you go down that rabbit hole, more of a lifestyle (put meat on, drink 12 beers, eat said meat hours later)

      Great video BTW!

      • Kapitoshka on 29/08/2022 - 16:38

        Huge thank you!

    • Laziofogna on 29/08/2022 - 19:25

      How do you turn off the oven when you are remotely checking temperatures and find it ready?

      • Kapitoshka on 30/08/2022 - 07:59

        You can't turn off, but you can time to be there and not worry when you're out and about. I found it really good for roasting.

    • M00Cow on 29/08/2022 - 21:42

      Mine failed to hold its charge in less then 2yrs.

      My 5+yo old Bluetooth version works a treat, so I bought a second one to have the 4 probes.

      I also found the temp was a bit out. The probes were usually 1-2° different.

  • sortius on 29/08/2022 - 14:12

    I have quite a bit of Inkbird stuff (the 4T, dual probe aquarium controller, 2x instant reads, and an IR surface thermometer), and by far, this is the worst of it. The usual crappy IoT design with only 2.4GHz Wifi being supported, and only if it's on a separate network. Also, if you have AP/SSID isolation turned on (which most do by default, because it's just an extra layer of security), it won't work at all. I had to set up a separate AP just for this.

    The probes aren't precise, and you have to constantly reset them by putting them in ice water, and then boiling water.

    YMMV, but I would definitely not buy another of these.

      Why would a device like this ever need 5GHz WiFi? You'd want range and stability.

      • sortius on 30/08/2022 - 12:55

        Because you want it to be able to handle both networks so it can actually connect to 2.5/5Ghz networks with identical names. You know, how most wireless networks are configured (and even forced to be) these days.

        Maybe learn something about networking before commenting.

        • BeerCrisp on 30/08/2022 - 13:19

          If you have the same SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz that's fine, it will only use the 2.4GHz and that's all it needs, why would you even want it to handle both?
          Also no need for the tone, I know enough about networking to know IoT devices would never require 5GHz :P

          • sortius on 31/08/2022 - 16:59

            @BeerCrisp: Because if it can't handle both, it can't do identical SSIDs. It's pretty simple.

            • BeerCrisp on 31/08/2022 - 18:14
              -1

              @sortius: Also pretty easy to turn off 5GHz for a few minutes while you get the device connected then turn 5GHz back on once connected. It's pretty simple.

              • sortius on 02/09/2022 - 10:59
                -2

                @BeerCrisp: No, it's not if your router doesn't support that. You're wrong, just admit it and go away.

                • BeerCrisp on 02/09/2022 - 11:04

                  @sortius: Must have a horrible network setup mate, don't blame the manufacturer for not supporting 5GHz when it makes no sense and no one else would need it :P

      I totally agree, picked one up on clearance from Bunnings and I couldn't even get it to connect to any device, in the bin it went and have stayed clear since

  • hongerwonger on 29/08/2022 - 16:04

    would this work as an ambient temp thermometer? i have an ancient oven that i honestly have no idea what the temps are regardless of what the dial says.

    • Cheaplikethebird on 29/08/2022 - 16:28

      Yep as long as the door isn't going to crimp the probe cable you should be fine. I use it for my oven all the time if I'm wanting an accurate temp.

    • Laziofogna on 29/08/2022 - 19:27

      I'd use an infrared like the ones for wood ovens
