Bought the Weber connect, when I bought weber 22" smokey mountain. Used it for pork shoulder went pretty good. The pork shoulder was bigger than the preset pork shoulder weight no way to change. I thought it would have the features of the I grill, the graph that shows the temperature of the grill throughout the cook. Returned and bought the I grill, I will be returning the I grill today. Almost impossible to see the temperature on the actual I grill unless it's dark out. Did not connect to phone as easy as Weber connect did and looses connection often. If weber could put the I grill and connect together and make 1 good one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your Weber Connect Smart Hub.
If you are interested in monitoring a piece of meat larger than what the app setting recommends, you can use your temperature probe and set an alert for a desired internal temperature.
We appreciate your suggestions for adding new features and we will pass them along to the appropriate teams. We are always looking to evolve our products, and feedback like yours is a valued part of our process. Thank you!
We would like to know more about your experience. Please look for an email outreach from our Support team soon. Thank you!
I love this device it works well with Bluetooth and wifi and seems to have the high quality I expect from webber.
BUT! For some reason there is no way to power it off so the battery is always dead when I need it. Basically it's a paper weight with a dead battery most of its life. I don't always know the before I'm gonna bbq so I need a device that is ready when I am.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the Weber Connect Smart grilling hub. We are so sorry to learn of your frustration. The unit should power off when the probes are unplugged. Our Support team is reaching out to assist you further. Thank you!
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.

Thank you for being a long-time Weber fan! We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback regarding the Weber Connect Smart grilling Hub. We are so sorry to learn you are having an issue pairing to the Hub. This is not the quality we come to expect from our product. Our Support team will be reaching out to follow up. Thank you!
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!
