Bought the Typhur Sync today on Amazon for $159, thank you for your very thorough review.

[@SmokestackJoes]

Thats a great price, this is by far the best wireless thermometer i have

[@brianpreston5206]

Can you reverse sear with the Typhur

[@emmetharte3718]

Great video👍I just got the Meater 2 and used it yesterday on a New York strip, and I am very impressed with it.

[@SmokestackJoes]

Thanks, the meater 2 is a great thermometer

[@joechong2096]

Great video! Was very well put together. I like how you showed the apps in detail because that is a big deal for a lot of people, including myself. I bought the meater 2 plus and then found the typhur 100$ . Im very torn on what to do. Lol ..... I still haven't even done a cook.

[@SmokestackJoes]

I'm glad it was helpful. Honestly whichever one you go with will be fine. If you want the capability of being able to monitor the cook anywhere over wifi without the use of another device, go with the typhur, plus you get 2 probes with it.

[@greg2865]

FYI. You can add custom alerts in the Meater app. That means you could have put one at 95 and/or 100 to pull off the PR and monitor the internal temp while bringing the grill up to a sear temp. I just learned that trick and it is a game changer for things like this and time to wrap, etc.

[@SmokestackJoes]

Thats good to know, thank you for the comment

[@bananaman1961]

So...just a follow up on my last comment. I received some Amazon gift cards for my birthday, "free money", so I bought the Typhur Sync probes. I absolutely love them. So handy. I reach for them before my wired Thermoworks probes 90% of the time. We'll see how the lift span thing goes, but highly recommend. Thanks for the review!

[@SmokestackJoes]

No problem glad you like the review. The sync is just so easy to use and having the option to be able to run out and still monitor the cook is a game changer.

[@markrodgers4615]

Great video! Looking for a thermometer for prime day and I think I’ll go with the Typhur

[@SmokestackJoes]

The typhur is great. Its on the more expensive side but if you can get a good deal i would go with that one. I dont use wireless thermometers that often but when I do I am always using my typhur

[@randyg8251]

Excellent video! I do have a couple of additional points, though. You mentioned that the Typhur has an advantage in that it comes with 2 probes whereas the Meater 2 Plus comes with only the one. True, but the Meater App handles up to 4 probes so if more than one is desired, they can be added. And yes, I know it will end up costing more, but it can be done. Also, the Typhus actually comes with either 2 or 4 probes, again, for more money, of course! So yes, the equivalent capacity will cost more for the Meater than the Typhur ... agreed. There is one problem with using multiple Meater probes that I don't like. The probes are identical and are not labeled with a number or anything like the Typhur. That makes is harder to keep them apart when grilling multiple cuts of meat. Myself? I bought two Meater 2 plus units mainly because of the thinner probes as I often grill thinner cuts and they mess up the meat less. Also, I personally like the Meater App user interface better. That, of course, is only personal preference.

[@SmokestackJoes]

Great comment thank you. I agree that I do like the meater probes better then the typhur.

[@63blanco]

Thanks for the comparison. Not sure if the price has changed since your video but it's on their site at $229.

[@SmokestackJoes]

I think it did change. At the time of the video they had a sale going on. If you wait it will probably go on sale again

[@rfischer1984]

I got it for about 189 on Amazon. Edit: actually got it for 183.

[@incognito4065]

With the Typhur Sync base, can you view the ambient temperature? And can you set a low and high ambient temperature benchmark? I don’t have a pellet grill, I have an offset and that would be very helpful for me

[@SmokestackJoes]

With the base you can view the ambient temp but you cant set any benchmarks, you have to do that through the app.

[@830jkl]

Thank you for sharing this. 🥘♥️

[@SmokestackJoes]

No problem!

[@why1696]

Great video. Thanks

[@SmokestackJoes]

Thanks I am glad you enjoyed it

[@TheGuyFromDenmark95]

Really think the Meater 2 missed the mark with not having wifi within the base

[@SmokestackJoes]

After using the Typhur sync the built in wifi is such a great feature. Being able to just sync the base to wifi is awesome because the range becomes a non issue

[@Bigheadedwon]

The original Meater block has WiFi. Hopefully they’ll be releasing a block version of this one soon

[@irynakirtak-craig1890]

@@Bigheadedwon I asked Meater support if they are planning to offer Mater 2 Plus Block, and they said "The MEATER Block will be getting a refresh in late 2024".

[@msaunders300]

@@irynakirtak-craig1890 at a price of $600 probably. It is so over priced

[@waynegranzin3824]

dos the typhur have both high AND low (downward) alarms on the meat part of the probe? or just final target? the meater does, via the alarm button. but brands like thermo-pro do not.

[@SmokestackJoes]

I believe it does

[@waynegranzin3824]

Can you confirm one way or the other? Coming from the meater, I just assumed they all would. But so far the meater is the only one (I’ve found) that does

[@user-cv6je4nd3g]

if you link the Meater through a separate device then view on your phone via email, can you adjust settings via you phone or do you have to go to the separate device to make adjustments?

[@SmokestackJoes]

You can only view the cook, adjustments need to be made from the separate device

[@papalednik]

Does this only work on the newest version of the meater I've got the 2nd Gen not 3rd gen

[@dimitristamatis4462]

Can you have more than 2 sensors linked in the Typhor app? Looks like it only supports 2 sensors, max. The Meater app supports 4 sensors. Is my understanding right?

[@SmokestackJoes]

I am not sure because I only have 2 sensors for the Typhur. I know the MEATER does support 4 because there block has 4.

[@T2_Sug]

I have 2 typhur syncs for a total of 4 probes and I can run all of them at the same time.

[@tyger4417]

The same thing with the meater. I have two blocks and a couple single probes and they all can be run and connected on the app.

[@greg2865]

@@tyger4417 Wow! You are big time. I was considering adding the M2+ to my kit even though I have a good selection and this made me feel like that would not be over the top. 😁

[@ikonikhunter]

I’m going to say this based on this review, this is probably better than the Meater Block. The Meater Block, and I have several units, has been nothing but trouble. In multiple units that I have I must add. Customer service with Meater (apption labs) is absolutely horrible! So if Typhur’s customer service is better than Meater, which shouldn’t be difficult to achieve, then I’ll roll with the Typhur.

[@SmokestackJoes]

I havent had any issues with mine so I dont know how customer service has been but the people I have dealt with from typhur have been very helpful

[@sitisitiveni650]

Great video Is there a option on both models to change from Fahrenheit to Celsius in these Apps?

[@jgsimonian]

I have the Typhur model, and yes you can switch to Celsius. I would guess that the meater does also.

[@andrewthomson8457]

Confirmed - I have the meater 2 and it also does celcius.

[@SmokestackJoes]

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed the video! and Thank you for the great replies from the people below or above!

[@TReZxDrEaMz]

Too bad they only have a sale going on in the US for the typhur and not in the EU. Otherwise I would have gone for that but I have a discount for the meater..😅

[@bananaman1961]

What no one talks about is when the life of the rechargeable battery in the probe itself goes out, as all batteries do, they can't be replaced. You're left with a boat anchor. I guess I'm old, but having to buy new again in 5 to 7 years is unacceptable.

[@SmokestackJoes]

This is a great point that not many people think about

[@michaelbrand4654]

In 5-7 years the technology is usually obsolete and it’s time to get the latest and greatest.

[@Equinoxious342]

$119 / 5 years = $24 a year for the use of the thermometer. It’s a consumable like errrrrr BBQs, charcoal, meat, gloves and just about everything else. It’s your choice, if $24 / year ($2 / month) is too much for you then do without; no-one’s forcing you. How long should a such a tiny battery last anyway? Forever for you $119???? Idiot. What a dumb comment you made 😂😂😂😂
