Stops at 150° on multiple cooks. The meater+ worked much better. Tried to get it replaced and since it passed the cold water test it is working good according to them.

We’ve only cooked salmon with our meater by the difference was amazing! Salt and pepper as the only seasoning and our salmon was still to die for as it was perfectly cooked! Loved the features on the app of estimated cook time and notifying us when to let it rest.
I bought the one probe version and if I had to do it all over again I would have bought more and the one that doesn’t just use a battery. I smoked a brisket and used another company’s probe to see if both read the same. I would recommend using multiple probes when smoking a larger piece of meat. Once finished smoking, I wrapped in a towel and let it rest in a cooler. The MEATER could not connect but the other brand could so I am curious why this happened. A little bit of a disappointment but not a buzz killer.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Ritch. Using multiple probes can definitely enhance monitoring, especially with larger cuts of meat. The connectivity difference you noticed during the resting phase may be related to signal range or interference factors. Our wireless design focuses on convenience and precision within optimal distances.

I had the old version of the MEATER+ for years, but I dropped the charger case one too many times. My new MEATER is a great improvement over an already great product! The battery life is much improved, temperature is measured to within a tenth of a degree, and the maximum ambient temperature is now beyond any temperature I will ever use. All at a very similar price, although I can’t really remember what I paid for either of them. Both were worth what I paid, but the new MEATER is just an all round better product.
Great purchase! I smoked a pork picnic roast a few weeks ago and it made things so easy! My only regret was that I didn’t sink the probe at the start to keep a better eye on my ambient temperature.
