This clever device makes "low & slow" barbecue an easy and enjoyable task. When the outside temperature is uncomfortable, I can easily monitor ambient and internal temperatures from indoors.
It works well once it's up and running. First one refused to pair with my Android phone and wifi was defective. Props to Weber for sending out a new one asap. Was having same issues then decided to try to pair with friends iphone. Worked fine, updated firmware and then paired fine with my android. They should update these things at the factory before they send them out. Love the app and all the recipes on demand and unit works great. Only wish there was a wireless option for my rotisserie. Does work great though once it's good to go.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Your feedback is very important to us. We are so sorry to hear you had an issue getting the first one up and running. Glad to hear your replacement is working great. If there is anything further we can do to help please let us know. Thank you for being a Weber fan!
I have been a loyal Weber Grill fan for 46 years. I am on my 4th grill, with a new one just purchase this past September. Weber is the only grill I would buy.
The time to desired temperature is not intuitive. I grilled a beer can chicken that was scheduled to complete in 90 minutes. When the chicken was reached 165 degrees the program said it would need 90 more minutes to finish. My hub does not charge to 100% and only reaches 95%. It also takes a very long time to recharge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Please look for an email outreach from a Care specialist soon. Thank you!
Missing features that are on the other Webber app. Like using charcoal, setups for direct or indirect heat. Just to plainly look for a grilling advice on a type of cut, not to follow a recipe. The grilling method and grilling guides of the Webber grill app should be included here, I really thought I was, by buying the Webber connect, going to have everything in one place. It makes it super cumbersome to be looking what’s the temp for medium rare on a hanger stake on the Webber connect. I find the Webber grill app much better, just missing the temp monitoring.

I am now able to monitor and control all aspects of grilling and smoking on the Weber. I can maintain a consistent temperature in the grill while monitoring the temperature of the meat being cooked. So far I have smoked a turkey and a pork shoulder with excellent results and grilled some filets to perfection. A must have for serious outdoor cooking!!
