I've spent hours trying to turn this brand new Weber Connect on. It powered on finally after following the confusing instructions. The wifi and bluetooth simply don't work. Wifi light won't turn on. Won't pair even 1" from my phone. Tried several phones and a tablet. Obviously the wireless won't turn on. Went through the help section and reset the device 5 times. Not impressed. I can't review the app since it won't allow the app to run if the device doesn't pair. I also can not tell if the device turns off or how to turn it off. Battery % drops even after it looks turned off. Instructions need to be more clear. I guess I can use it as a regular digital probe but I wanted it for the convenience of tracking by my smart phone from inside the house.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Having an endless supply of mesquite wood I never use charcoal and this little Smokey Joe puts out the best tasting BBQ ever!, no matter what I cook meats, poultry, seafood and veggies. It’s all perfect, maybe I’ll change my name to……Smokey Joe!!!!
Use igrill, but notice the same issue here. You need to create probes that can be used on a rotisserie as many of us cook roasts and poultry on the grill. We have been waiting!
It worked well the first time I used it, then I changed it and the temperature reading was 20 to 30 degrees higher than the true temperature. What should I do? Who can I call?
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've used Weber Connect about 25 times for smoking after several years of using the iGrill 2. The Wi-Fi connection is superior to the Bluetooth of the iGrill series, but the device doesn't offer any other features that the iGrill 2 doesn't have and the Weber Connect app that partners with the device has less features than the iGrill app. On top of all that, my device is now showing ghost temperatures for probes that aren't connected and the device cannot be reset. The price point is quite high for what it does.
