Bought my Weber Spirit almost 18 years ago. Still looks and works great. I have watched my neighbor go through three grills during this time and I still have had no problems. Cleaned it up yesterday and was so happy with the way it looked i wanted to share The only thing not working is the igniter and it is most likely something easy to fix or replace. I love this grill and if I ever needed another it would be Weber all the way.
Not worthwhile at least for normal thickness cuts of meat. Perhaps the slow response rate of the probes would work better for large roasts, whole chickens, etc. I regret this purchase. Will stick with my current thermometer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The app crashed immediately after pairing it. On three different phones in my home. Awful

Hi Kim, we are sorry to hear that your app crashed. This is not normal, and we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience. Would you mind deleting the app and reinstalling the app? This should solve your issue however, we will contact you via email to ensure you are not experiencing any problems. Thanks!
I love all my Weber products and have had an igrill for many years that is awesome except I wanted wifi to be able to get alerts for overnight smoking as the Bluetooth will not reach my bedroom. Not sure what made Weber decide not to just take the igrill and add wifi as it would have been perfect. The igrill has a functional alert feature and this only alerts if the app is open on the screen. Who needs an alert when you are looking at the app????

Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear that you are taking advantage of the WiFi capabilities of your Connect Hub. It is surprising to hear that you are only getting alerts if your Weber Connect app is open-- you should be receiving push notification alerts any time you are connected through the Weber Connect app. Our team is reaching out via email to help troubleshoot the settings on your device so you will never miss another alert during your cook. When smoking overnight, and any other time, we always recommend staying within sight of your grill. Your satisfaction and safety are very important to us. Thanks again and happy grilling!
You can’t have 2 devices available on the app. You have to remove one and then pair the other or use two iPhones or an iPhone and an iPad.

Congratulations on your new Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub! We are sorry about the disappointment with the connection availability. Please know that this accessory is fast-changing. We are sure to pass this suggestion on to the appropriate team. We will continue to release new updates and features, and with the help of feedback like this, we know what to aim for. Thanks!
Wrote a while ago and got a replacement hub and probes (due to battery life and faulty probe). The replacements are great. Keeping the battery life well, two weeks charged and unplugged, still running 95% plus battery. Probes, working great, within 1 degree of each other.
A suggestion on the menu. The “Select Program” is good, but could benefit from another selection. “Cook Program” shows great information on the meat, especially the cook temperature needed. The “Recipes” are useful as well, lots of details. The “Temperature Alert” is what I want, but I have to “know” what temperature per meat, per cut. What I need is a Temperature Alert that shows me the temperature options per meat and allows me to select, I do not remember what temperature that I need. This was an option on the old iGrills, which I had before, I could pick meat, temp style (rare, medium, well as appropriate) and go. The temperature on steps on “Cook Program” without the (annoying) clicking through steps, steps.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this to try for my honest opinion. I am always worrying if I cook the meat right and this will come in handy. The Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub can be used with either Anroid or I phone as this connects to your phone. When setting up the phone it did take me a little bit as you need to have the thermometer close to phone . I keep it in the box after use and cleaned so I do not loose the pieces and it stays clean . Easy to read instructions. I used it to make steak over the weekend and really like that I do not have to worry about over or under cooking of the meat that I am cooking. Makes it easier to grill . It is also Bluetooth.
What a phenomenal tool! It’s been great having those rare steaks for my wife as well as juicy pork chops and chicken breasts for everyone. Didn’t expect any less from Weber!
