Purchased this as a gift for my son. He loves it and can't say enough about it! He cooked the perfect steak among other things and is looking forward to more grilling perfection! Can't say enough about the quality of Weber products.
love being able to monitor the food temp from the app - works great

Weber did an excellent job replacing my iGrill 3 and living up to their warranty. The replacement works great. We hasn't had any issues with the probes or the connectivity to the app via the cell phone. Love my weber!
Range is limited on the Bluetooth. I need to be within about 20 feet of the BBQ in order for my phone to read the temps. The pork tenderloin turned out perfect. The ambient temperature gauge is worthless. It’s way off and reads way too hot. The lid thermometer does a much better job. Ordered the rotisserie also and that works great however the metal rod/skewer is bent a little after one use with a 6 lb chicken.

Thank you for your review! Bluetooth range is dependent on your cooking environment but a reset can help. To reset your iGrill 3, hold the power button down for 15 seconds, then unpair or forget this device from your phone's settings. The ambient probe temperature will be different than your grill's lid thermometer. One is not more accurate than the other, they are just beneficial for different scenarios.
The lid thermometer measures the air temperature of the grill, closer to the hood. This temperature is great for use with items being cooked higher on the grill, such as a rotisserie chicken. When using a rotisserie, the main concern is maintaining a satisfactory temperature towards the top of the inside of the grill.
The iGrill Pro Ambient Probe is meant to be clipped between two grill grates, and thus is much closer to your heat source resulting in a higher temperature than the lid thermometer. This placement is very useful when you want to know the temperature of your grates, which sit right above the flame of your grill, and can be used when searing steaks, for example.
Bluetooth distance was a bit of a bummer. WiFi would be a LOT better. One nice surprise is that the app showed up on my Apple watch and so I could just look at my watch to monitor all temp probes. That was slick
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for your feedback! To help extend Bluetooth range, we recommend periodically resetting your iGrill 3 either before or after a cook. To reset your iGrill 3, hold down the power button until you hear a heap, then head to your phone and unpair the iGrill 3 from your settings. Thanks again!
