Weber 7202 iGrill Mini Smart LED Wireless Bluetooth Grill Thermometer With Single Probe

Purchased one of these mini temperature monitors. OH MY GOSH.... today was the second time I used it. Boneless skinless chicken breasts. Got my Weber sprint up to 500 degrees put the chicken on inserted the probe and checked the boneless chicken temperature 165. I waited until my phone gave a 90 degree internal temperature then flipped the breast over, the alarm went off at 165 and the chicken breast were perfect and I mean perfect. Had a few guests over and they were highly impressed with my grilling skills I never shared my secret and never will let them figure it out on their own

I received this for Father's Day 2020, used it once aad the temperature was way off, ended up having to use a mechanical temperature gauge instead. I thought, I'd give it another shot, grabbed it today, of course, the battery was dead. Changed the battery and it blinks red and gives me a warning the temperature is 203 degrees sitting on my countertop in my kitchen. Pushed the reset button and re-synced it to my iPhone, still thinks my kitchen is on fire.

The iGrill is cool. Being able to monitor progress on my phone means better results. The color coded indicator melted and cleaning them is a clumsy. All in all, I'm very pleased.

Great thermometer small and compact. Downside is you can't get too far away from the grill and for me I haven't seen if I can override the temps set for what I'm cooking?

Still getting the hang of charcoal grilling. The iGrill Mini takes all the guesswork out of grilling. It's nice to pull out my phone To see if the meat is done. I'm finding that for "low and slow" bbq I can really monitor the grill temp without standing near the grill the whole time also.

I bought a Weber Genesis 2-315 last month. My wife bought me an I-Grill Mini got my birthday. I used it the first time today when I was smoking two "beer butt chickens" in the grill. I read all the instructions yesterday and watched a couple of short videos. Then I paired the gadget to my phone, once I got the grill up to temp and my wood chip packets smoking. I inserted the probe into a thigh on one of the chickens. And instantly got a reading of 50 degrees F as they had been in the fridge after getting a good rub down of olive oil and my special rub seasonings. I had the left burner on high, the center one about 25 percent, and the right one off. The grill temp gauge showed 400fwhen I put the chicken in. I was impressed that I could sit inside in my lounger, watching the news on TV, and monitor the temp of the chicken, thanks to the i-Grill Mini. My chair is right at 100 feet from the grill. It did drop off a couple of times. I had to re-pair twice. One time I had to go out and actually push the start button in the Mini to turn it back on. I'm sure I was stretching it's Bluetooth capabilities at 100 feet. The results? I went with the default 165 degrees for a whole chicken. The birds were beautiful. The skin was golden and slightly crispy. The meat was well cooked but plenty moist. The breast was a wee bit chewy. I think next time I'll let it go for a few more minutes or let it get a few degrees higher internal temp. Maybe I'll put the probe in the breast instead of the thigh. (minor learning curve.) Overall. The i-Grill Mini is a great little tool.

I really like my IGrill. My wife bought it for me as a birthday gift and I use it make once a week. The only thing is the Bluetooth range, it does go very far. You have to be relatively close. I don't think you can go further that 25ft and the app says it can connect to the igrill. Overall I like it I just wish the Bluetooth had a better range.

The battery on this seems to die every time I used it. I replaced the battery last week and when I went to use it again yesterday, it said low battery and I needed to replace it. I also don't trust the temperature readings. I grilled chicken and the iGrill app said it was 165 degrees but when I cut into the chicken, it was still severely under-cooked.

I bought this a year ago, and wish I could take it back. It reads nowhere near the correct temp. Has almost zero range. Do not purchase. And yes, I have it on the right settings and am Tech savvy enough to work the app. It simply doesn't work. Even replaced the battery. These pictures were taken to show temp at grill level in my smoker.

The iGrill Mini works well when it's connected to the app. The range is ok and because of the nature of bluetooth you really can't go too far from it. The battery life would be ok if I can tell when device is on or off. Quick press or long press is not very intuitive if the lights are not reliable. For example, I quick press the power button, but no lights are on thinking it's still off, but it's actually on because the phone found the device and recording the temperature. Someone from the reviews suggested to remove the battery after each use. That would help with battery life. Overall the product is ok and functional. I personally would upgrade the design that would have a light labeled Power and when it's on it lights up and when it's off, the light is off. Additionally make it blink if it's not paired with anything yet and Auto shut off if it has not been paired after a certain time. That's just my take.
