Just installed mine this week. I tried it last night on some cut up chicken and the chicken was perfectly cooked. If you have one of the Genesis II grills, buy one! You will not regret it!
I just bought the Genesis II and decided to also get the iGrill 3. When I am cooking pork or poultry, I am always opening the lid to take the temp so this accessory has been a great addition to my grilling arsenal. It works well but the only draw back is the cord holder is clumsy so I swapped it out with velcro cable ties and it is disappointing that Weber wouldn't just include 4 probes. The device has 4 ports but only comes with 2 probes so if you want to monitor 4 different items, you will need to order additional probes. Also, for whatever reason, Weber is focused on Apple and not Android. I can't imagine that there are more Apple users than Android but that is their focus. The iGrill 3 app works fine on my Android but the other Weber grill app, with recipes and stuff, doesn't. It is Apple only...seems short sighted to not support a huge part of their client base.
After owning a very simple instant-read thermometer for a few years, I decided to buy these “system” when I acquired a compatible Genesis LX grill. Although the general idea is great, in practice this thing does not work at all! After setting it up and connecting the probes, I get about 3 minutes of good readings on the app, afterwards, the signal keeps getting lost and I must reboot the iGrill system in order for it to send the reading again. This happens about every 2-3 minutes, which is absolutely annoying, considering its intended purpose of monitoring cooking temperature continuously. I would definitely not recommend it and will have to go back to my old thermometer after spending more than double on this...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for reaching out to us! To help extend the Bluetooth range and strengthen the connection of your iGrill 3, we recommend periodically resetting your device by following these steps:
- Press down on the power button until you hear a beep - Head to your phone's Bluetooth settings and locate your iGrill 3 in the list of connected devices - For iOS, select "Forget this device" or for Android, select "Unpair" - Restart your phone, open the app, and pair
It’s way to use and enables cooking almost any thing nice and slow. No need to run out side constantly.
However when I go to the far end of my house the Bluetooth is out of range.
It would be good if they could increase the range or add a WiFi version.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the Igrill 3 online due to not being available at my local Lowe’s. I love my Genesis II E-310 grill but the I grill 3 makes it the most awesome grilling ever! If you don’t have it GET IT NOW!
