I am not mechanically inclined. I thought it would be a snap. After reading the directions twice, I put the entire kit aside. A waste of $100 bucks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for your honest feedback! We're so sorry to hear that the installation process of your iGrill 3 was a bit difficult, however. Our team would love to help give you some pointers and has reached out to you via email to assist, so be on the lookout for their email. Thank you!
We have had this for almost a year now and I find myself not using it any more for two main reasons. 1. Battery life is Terrible. Why not provide a plug in option?? Unless I remove the batteries after each use they are dead in a week or two. We turn it off and it still slowly drains batteries. Major pain. 2. Like many others who review, the Bluetooth is hit or miss. If you wander off to the garden to pick some herbs or into the house to prep food you lose your Bluetooth connection. So stay close to the BBQ. Otherwise, the app is great. Very helpful. When it works the food comes off the BBQ perfect every time!

Thanks so much for your feedback! Our iGrill experts will be more than happy to offer a few solutions to the issues you have raised, so please be on a lookout for an email from them shortly.
I’ve used this product on chicken breast, thighs, steaks, and burgers. it worked great on all of them. Really takes the guesswork out of chicken breast and i can even do burgers at perfect medium and well done for those heathens. No issue with Bluetooth at all, but my grill is <30 feet from my kitchen/living room area.
I just received my i Grill 3 yesterday. I had it installed and the app installed on my smartphone and everyhing working in approximately ten minutes. Next step will be to use it while grilling. Once I use it I will reevaluate this product.
I’ve used this several times of the the last couple of months and it is very good and providing temperatures and the status of the food on the grill. Easy to use and set up. Unfortunately it uses Bluetooth to transfer information from the grill to the smartphone or tablet. This limits the distance in which is useable. I lose the information once I move further into the interior of my home. I cannot get the information status if I am at my interior kitchen stove cooking or at the kitchen counter making other preparations. Very frustrating to have to go back outside to get a reading. With the hot Texas summer rapidly approaching, I’d rather be indoors and able to check on food temperatures than running outside to check on the food. Still, a great concept.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for your review! We're glad to hear you're enjoying your iGrill 3. TO help extend your Bluetooth range, we recommend periodically resetting your iGrill 3 device by holding down the power button until you hear a beep and unpairing from within your phone's Bluetooth settings. We recommend doing this before or after a cook.
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

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!
Never registers the correct temp. Reaches the set temp much too rapidly and you wind up with raw meat.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, although we apologize that you are experiencing inaccurate temperatures. It sounds like your probes may be affected, however our team will be more than happy to assist you with your warranty. Please be on the lookout from an email regarding this.
This was a great addition to my Weber Spirit II grill! After trying it out a couple of times, I even bought a third meat probe and a temperature probe, too. I couldn't be happier with the product. The app makes it so easy to know when to pull the meat off the grill! I don't have to stand over the grill to know how it's coming along. The range of the iGrill 3 to my iPhone is fantastic, too. I can't say what the range is, but I can say I've never been out of range. I would definitely buy this again!
