I love getting direct feedback on the temperature of my grill and of the meat being grilled. The app was fairly easy to connect to the wifi. The wires are wrapped around a convenient plastic square. Pay attention to how it is wrapped if you want to keep it at a tight uniform package, otherwise it will unspool.
I used the temperature monitor to get the read on the ambient temperature of the grill because the ribs recipe called for a steady 200 degrees. This was the first time that I was able to really control the temperature by reducing the flow of propane and turning off burners and keep it at an even temperature for the three hours of grilling.
This product comes with tabs plastic colored tabs on the cords which identifies ambient sensor from temperature sensors. Who ever designed plastic tabs to go inside a charcoal grill needs their head examined. I tried to slide them up the cord with no success. I then tried to remove them which was not possible without damaging the sensor cord. I then place the meat on edge of grillhoping the plastic tab would not melt. I would not recommend this product at all as it is currently designed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No issues setting up and it performed very well. First use was on a whole chicken: the temp readings worked as promised and it turned out well. Cooked perfectly
This is the least smart, smart grilling device ever. Not sure why the interface, notifications, temperature setting options, etc are not the same as the igrill offering but the way this device works you might as well not even have an app.
It really needs Graphing Temperature ranges Real alerts that work without the app on screen And I’m sure some others I’m forgetting

Hi, This does have the similar features as the Igrill but the Weber Connect has more added features with the option connecting to WiFi. This is information I will pass along to our development team to keep improving the product. Thank you!
I bought these for my son, sons-in-law for early birthday gifts, having heard them highly praised on the Steve Dahl Podcast. They were all thrilled! Great gifts!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Loved mine so much I ourchased another one as a gift. My buddy loved it. Works like a champ. He made the best pork roast ever and cites this device as the reason.
The app is estetically good, but it misses very important function like interval alarms on cooking temperature. In many recipes it is not possible to change target temp and where it is possible you can choose only few predetermined targets. Why iGrill app is much better?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
