I bought iGrill 3 a couple of years ago and was hugely disappointed. Something happened either on your end or mine. Thanksgiving. Turkey. One last time with iGrill 3. It works! We had the perfect turkey this year (2022). Perfectly cooked. Able to follow progress on both my iPhone and Apple Watch. Put me in the "Happy camper" column.
You can’t get more than 10’ from your girl or you have reconnect the Bluetooth. I don’t bother with it anymore. When will you come out with one that fits on the grill like this one and is WiFi?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought the device a couple years ago. I've used it sparingly over that time and now the blue tooth doesn't work.

Thank you for the feedback! We apologize for the current experience are having with your iGrill 3. We recommend to rest the device. Please look out for an email from our Support Team with more information and to resolve your current issue. Thanks for choosing Weber Grills.
The technology and software work well. The one issue is removing or adjusting the hot probe. If you leave the black plastic on it could melt in the hot grill. If not the metal is too hot to touch.
If food is cooking too fast or too slow, it would be nice if the iGrill could recommend a temperature adjustment based on type of food selected to grill.
Waste of money!! Won't stay connected (paired) for more than 5-10 minutes grill is in garage 30-40 feet away! All my other bluethooth devices don't have this problem very annoying always have to go to garage reload the app and pair every 5-10 min. It's A BIG hassle not worth it!

I tried to like it. Nice design, Bluetooth worked, and I was grilling! Then, temps varied. Finally the started on the 200s+ and wouldn’t go down. I swapped probes, replaced the battery - no joy.
Support is a joke. Tickets are NEVER answered. I don’t know why tfe bother to accept requests, since nobody answers them.
Pretty paperweight is what I have now…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear that your iGrill 3 is causing issues for you but look forward to helping solve this issue. Here at Weber, we stand by the quality of our products and cover them under great warranties. Our main goal is to have you love our products just as much as we do.
When using the iGrill Probes and for best results, please keep these safe usage guidelines in mind:
• Do not allow the wiring of the probes to be exposed to open flame or direct heat for extended periods of time. Doing so may damage the probes resulting in inaccurate readings. We recommend suspending the wiring through an opening in your smoker or grill, such as the rotisserie slot.
• To clean the iGrill Pro Meat Probes, wipe them down with either a damp towel or a sanitary wipe. Do not submerge the probes in water or liquid of any kind. This may result in moisture entering the crimp and wiring of the probe which will cause damage and inaccurate readings to occur. Refer to the attached PDF for a visual guide.
We are looking into what caused this matter so we can provide further assistance, our kind Support team would like to follow up with you. Please be on the lookout for an email, thank you!
The only issue which unfortunately makes the product unreliable is the poor connectivity over Bluetooth.
Imagine your meat is cooking and temperature readings are fine and then all of a sudden no more reading as the connection is lost. Depending upon when this happened your good can get overcooked in not knowing when it reached or will reach the target temperature.
