ThermoPro TempSpike Plus 600ft Wireless Meat Thermometer with 2 Color-Coded Probes, Bluetooth Meat Thermometer with LCD-Enhanced Booster for Food Cooking Grill Smoker

This is a nifty addition to our barbecuing and general cooking toolkit.There's a single probe, but it independently measures both internal and external temperatures of the meat. You insert it fully, and then Bob's your proverbial uncle. It "Just Works" to communicate with the bright-orange (hard to lose!) base station--even with your barbecue lid closed--which in turn communicates to your phone (and thereby to the Apple Watch if you're luck enough to have one!).The TempSpike app is easy to use, maybe could be a little slicker in terms of design and discoverability, but its functionality is excellent. Temperature readings seem quite accurate, and our food has come out perfect each time. You can set temperature alarms, both low and high, for both the probe's sensors. There's a graphing function (which you must start when you want it) that lets you see trends. There are multiple "profiles" built-in that set target temperatures for you.There are warnings that if you foil-wrap your food for cooking, the probe's ceramic handle must poke out of the foil so the probe and base station can talk. That makes me curious how a layer of foil will compromise connectivity whereas the barbecue's lid will not, but whatever.The base station charges via USB-C, and rapidly. The probe resides in clips in a dedicated receptacle in the base station. The clips charge the probe. State-of-charge for both the base station and probe are displayed on the base station's LCD display as tiny icons.Having nice large temperatures displayed at a glance on the base station is really nice. The base station has a magnet to attach to any (not-hot!) surface.All in all, I'm really happy with this little device.

I have struggled for the last several months with the similarly priced Chef iQ. The first issue I ran into was a constantly sounding, very loud alarm that one or both of the probes was overheating, regardless of the ambient temperature reading always being below the maximum. Then, I would have intermittent connectivity issues with the probes until finally one stopped connecting all together.The TempSpike has given me none of these issues. It worked perfectly out of the box and hasn't failed me yet. I have been a software developer for the last 30 years and love the TempSpike's app. The UI clearly shows all the important information and is very clean and is easy to use. I especially appreciate being able to record the temperatures and view a graph to determine when my brisket has stalled.Finally, the probes are short and relatively thin, making it much easier to insert them properly to the center of the meat while also embedding the entire metal part, which is required.I was considering the Meater+ with two probes, however, it was over three times what I paid for the TempSpike and with no additional value.I couldn't be happier. I love it when a good company makes a great product at a terrific price. Very well done (pun intended) ThermoPro!

For me this worked great! I used it to make pit beef where I was able to manage the grill temp as well as get notification and approx time when the internal temp is reached

Probes worked well, 1st use battery life is great, probes are hard to clean after being in electric smoker, over all for the money great product. Enjoyed having app and box for connections.

Absolutely love this product! The extra distance it provides is a game-changer, and being completely wireless eliminates the hassle of figuring out how to keep wires out of the way when smoking meat.One of the best features is that each spike reads both internal and ambient temperatures, meaning I only need one probe instead of two, unlike my older wired model. Plus, the battery life is great—no issues getting through long cooks without a recharge.Highly recommend this for any grillmaster or BBQ enthusiast—mine was a Christmas gift, and it was perfect!

Used this for a holiday meal making Cornish hens. They turned out great! monitored both the inside temperature and the temperature of the roaster itself. allowed us to adjust the two roasters we were using to get them close in temp. They also connect easily to my phone and gave me notifications without having to walk back and forth to the main unit. the notification settings in the app were a great help as well!

Like several have noted, the ambient temperature is not at all accurate.With the set I bought, ambient temps tends to lag behind some 60/70-degrees. Right now, my smoker ambient temp is 250 (cross-verified within two degrees with my Thermapen). The Spikes are showing ambient temps of 183 and 190, after being in the smoker for three hours. They were 147 and 153 an hour ago. I'd return these for a replacement, but don't want to go through the hassle and am just ignoring the ambient temps.The internal temps seem to be roughly accurate, but I'm still skeptically validating that...one hunk of meat after another...😁UPDATE 08-15-2024:I bumped the stars from three to five due to the exceptional customer support. And I mean, exceptional. Lately I noticed that one slot on the booster kept indicating it was recharging the spike, regardless of the spike that was in in slot. The other slot properly indication its spike was fully recharged. My just-in-case workaround was to recharge both spikes in the on working slot.I sent photos and a fuller description to customer support mainly to ask if there was a workaround or fix. They resoonded, nah...we will send you a replacement. That is cool, and way beyond my expectation.
