I got one of these for Christmas, had a hell of a time getting it set up because it did not want to connect. After 2 days finally got it to connect. Then the next time I go to use it , it wanted to do an update and I had to use an older unit of another type I had at the house. Boxed it back up and sent it back.....turned out to be more trouble than what it was worth. Don’t miss the headache at all. I’m glad you are happy with yours, but as for me NEVER AGAIN!

[@radamstruck]

Thank you for taking the time for a VERY educational video on the meater plus and the meater block! I have had the plus for a couple years and it took me a long time to figure out the cloud with my ipad and phone! Just ordered a meater block today and your review will definitely be a big help in using the new block!!!

Great video James, thanks for sharing! I purchased the Meater Block per your recommendation, and I just LOVE IT! A little costly, but very accurate and usable. I put a pork butt on my pit using 2 probes and ran to town 30 miles away to do some errands. With the Meater block connected to my home Wi-Fi, I was able to monitor my pork temps and estimate how long I had before I needed to get back home! Great product and great review!

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

[@caleffopower]

Did my first reverse sear with meater + on friday night with a 1.8kg ribeye on the bone (2 rib bones 😉). Around 1h40 mins, i was aiming at 52c core temp and the app told me to remove at 44c. I put it to rest in the oven (turned off) and it got to 53c (or at least that’s what the all told me 😄) So overall very happy with the first cook!

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

Good stuff

Just got the plus. Haven’t tried yet. Don’t make it a habit being gone worrying about temp due to the Traeger app letting me adjust temps from my phone. Looking forward to getting a more accurate read of temp inside the smoker though. Thanks for sharing all that info. It had me confused as well when I was ordering. You explained it well. The block is a bit pricey for my liking.

Thank you for the great informative explanation on how to use the wireless probe. You saved me the headache of trying to figure out which wireless probe to buy and how to use it.

[@alecgrant3099]

James, Thank you so much for the tremendous effort you put into your channel. I bought a Kamado Joe classic 2 almost one year ago and have not looked back since. Your channel is my go-to for ideas, recipes, and methods. You have answered so may of my questions. Over time I have become developed and have become more confident in my bbq skills. The the majority of my cooks have been a tremendous success which I continually give credit where due to your efforts and information. Thank you! One the sources of continual confusion is the difference between grill and dome temperature. I purchased, early on, a nutrichef bluetooth temperature probe. During a cook I monitor the grill, internal, and dome temperature and record the readings in a logbook. I have also learned to take screen shots of the graph as the app is somewhat unstable even on an iphone.

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

Thanks so much, cheers... i think you will love the meater app in comparison

[@bryanward4361]

Great review, I just picked up the Meater+ and the idea of using the app on a spare device is fantastic.

[@danielhoffman329]

this is exactly what I needed. what would be nice would be if the plus could use an echo or google smart speaker or apple tv to act as that gateway device.

[@srt10h4rml3ss]

Excellent info again :) Picked up the Meater original recently not realizing the limited range, saw 50M from the Plus version and that was stuck in my head. Although have yet to test the original Meater, the distance will be farther than the 10M through brick and multiple walls to boot where I'm situated if putting something in the Oven or on the BBQ for a slow roast. Luckily I have a few spare Android devices to use Meter Link, so my 1 device sits in the kitchen (easily accessible to my oven or BBQ outside) and sends the info to the cloud via my Router (centralized in my house) so I can them access the cook via my personal mobile device anywhere in the house or front yard. This easily solves distance issue and works like the block :) Ideally the block is the easy and more versatile solution of course but for almost 4x the price, I'd have to pass even while doing multiple types of beef/pork/chicken etc on large cooks. I have 2 other wireless solutions (albeit a little clunky but work fine) already in place to support larger cooks if needed. The Block is my end game but it's just extremely overpriced in my mind at this point. Keep up the great content fellow CDN 👍👍

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

thanks so much fellow canuck

[@shadowdog500]

The graph is good for more than past cook analysis. I put it in graph mode during the cook and use the ambient temperature arc as an indicator on when to add fuel.

I have a love/hate relationship with my Meater Block. I’ve been using the meater block for years (since the block came out). It works great… until it doesn’t. I’ve always struggled with connectivity issues between the probes and the block.

[@rickcormier9160]

I have both the block and plus. My question is about protecting the probe. What should I do if I can not insert the probe to the safety line. (Steaks like Fillets are thick but not wide. The owners manual says it could damage the sensor if not inserted properly).

[@markproost3135]

Thanks for the info on the Meater James, really helpful! I bought both plus and block on black Friday, and I'm thinking that the plus will be a great gift for X-mas to give away!

[@ctcoles9845]

Hi James, I bought a Meater+ based on your promotion of the product. lt worked great for the first cook but died part of the way through the second cook. I thought it may have been the base station battery that was supplied with the unit so I changed that and tried it again for a third cook. No dice. My unit won't accept a charge. The return window is very short (1 month) and I wasn't able to return it through Amazon. I have been regularly requesting support through Meater for the past month without a solution. They became unresponsive when it was apparent that cleaning the probe would not resolve the charging issue. $169 is a lot to spend on a single use thermometer. I think your viewers should be aware of the company's customer service record and that they will be on their own if they receive a faulty unit.

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

that sucks, i have an e-mail contact we can try. send me an email to forward.

[@ctcoles9845]

@@SmokingDadBBQ Thanks for the lead. It looks like they have retained an outside firm for after-sales support so it is good to have some contact with the actual producer/seller. I have forwarded the support email string to MEATER. Fingers crossed.

So I did the same thing with reviews. One that I saw was that the base is constantly charging the probes and they burn the batteries out when not in active use? Have you seen this?

[@edwardkennedy5680]

Hi James , ? For you does the standard Meter(basic model) work similarly with an extra device for Bluetooth connection.

[@alexburrows202]

Great video thanks for explaining so clearly what the manufacturer fails so spectacularly at. I have the Meater+ and I have to say it's really been a bullshit experience. I have my phone and the base station three feet from the BBQ and the damn thing can't maintain a connection. I have tried countless times and it's been consistently awful. Doesn't even seem to matter if the BBQ top is on or not. I contrast this POS technology with my dog's smart collar (Fi) which uses BT as well yet somehow maintains a connection to the base station in my garage when the dog is 300 feet from the garage.

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

I wish it didn’t take me several purchases to figure it out lol

[@denoftools]

I have the meater plus and it’s terrible. The software is great, and the thermometer works well, but the connection is worthless and constantly has problems. I looked at the meter block and the price is ridiculous. You can get an ink bird for thermometer set up for well under $100 and it does just fine. The meater app is really slick and seeing when it will be done is nice even though it takes forever for it to figure that out. But it’s not enough to justify the price difference.

[@hughtanner208]

only challenge i have had on my block is on occasion one of the probes will not link on the block. Truly do like it and a few technology challenges

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

good to know, i haven't had that yet

[@davidbuurma9309]

Great video as always. A while ago I bought a meater based on your recommendation and it was a questionable purchase for a while… But once you understand it it is my favorite and absolutely go to thermometer probe…

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

i felt the same early on, especially when i misunderstood how to get a good connection from anywhere

[@brandonhoffman4712]

I just did my 1st cook! Came out perfect! Nevermind that the ambient temp alarm went off twice haha! Best steak I've ever bbq'd, I am also a complete novice who put all the faiths in the robot thermometer. I basically flew the steaks into the sun until the machine said stop, then I had perfect juicy pink meat!

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

[@chuck-it-outreviews5837]

Hey James, Great videos!!! Thank you for taking the time to make these. They have been super helpful to me. I am a long time fan of grilling, but I have always kept it simple using a gas grill for steaks, burgers, dogs, and maybe some fish and chicken here and there, but I recently decided I wanted to upgrade to something that would yield better results and be more fun. After watching a ton of videos and thinking through the experience I am looking for, I decided to get a Classic iii. Since I am so new to Kamado grilling I am trying to build an arsenal of the right tools. It seems like something that would be pretty crucial for a beginner is a thermometer such as the one in this video. So I have three questions: 1. If you could only choose one device between the Meater and the iKamand, which would you choose? 2. If you could only get one thermometer would you get the Meater or something different? 3. I noticed that you are not supposed to go above 527 with the Meater, is that common with most thermometers or do some allow for higher heat, and does that even matter? Thanks so much for any advice or help you can offer with those questions!

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

1) I would choose the Meater. The app is much better than the iKamand app, and it works with rotisserie 2) If I could only have one probe of any kind I would have to get a Thermapen MK4 or similar as I need fine touch, small hole instant read temps for finishing all my cooks. The Meater gets me to 95% and then I have a instant read probe to manage the last 5%.... but if you're making me pick I would have to go with the instant read since I use that on most every meal 3) Yes most grill probes even wired ones don't like temps above 500f

No but they have numbers on them and you can add clips with numbers if that’s easier but it’s one more thing to wash so I just use the numbers

Using my block but always also have my Maverick on the grid.

i insert the probe parallel to the grill for the most accurate grill temp, and vertical for the best dome temp. funny angles don't work well for either as its in between and potentially skewed by the protein

@@SmokingDadBBQ A very good comment. Thank you!

Just bought the original meater (using your code, thanks for that) can I pull off the meater to I pad to I phone with the original model?

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

yes so long as the smart device is range of wifi

this device seems to work very well especially since I own the jotisserie. I have a problem when the other company's thermometer manages to offer their product at a more reasonable price. This gadget is made of electronics in Japan and is not worth the exorbitant price. I would settle for the plus version with one probe when its price is affordable. The covid period destroyed my finances. thanks for the update on this fantastic device.

thanks Mario, i agree would be nice for things to be more affordable

Ya I 100% agree. That being said it's such a game changer for me I am getting my mom the 300 dollar block... There is a huge open door for competition, but the meater stuff can't even stay in stock at the moment... my mom's Christmas gift will be here January 15th...

Hello, enjoyed your vid. Just read a review on Amazon stating unit didn't work with the dome or lid closed. Do you have an opinion on this issue. Thanks again. Happy BBQing.

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

I use mine all the time dome closed no issue
