range= 70 feet line of sight

I do.  I love every part of it except for the Bluetooth.  70' range is way optimistic.  Doesn't work well through brick walls and low-E glass also interferes.  I regularly lose connection when the windows are closed, even though my ipad/phone is 10 feet away on the other side of the wall.

 

Other than that, it's nearly perfect.  Probes kick-ass, especially the armored penetration probe.  They last waaaaay longer than the iGrill or other probes.  Battery life is terrific.  You can get all sorts of other probes because it uses a standard K-type connection.

 

I begged them to put out a wi-fi version, but they did not comment.  I still use it every long cook, even with the issues.

Hi Dennis 

 

I have built a Heater Meter that uses WiFi so as long as you have wifi coverage you can also then check from internet.  

 

I am just waiting for a bit of Stainless to come in and then get a case built then i should be able to post.  I am currently using a couple of the thermoworks probes and thermocouples.

Have been using same unit...the Bluetooth topology sucks for this application.  Other than that I like it
