I bought it before Thanksgiving to use for the turkey. It took hours to connect it for a firmware update. I eventually had to use my phone as a hotspot to get it to update, which was annoying. Then on cook day, one of the probes would disconnect if I didn't hold the base right up against the oven. I did get good readings on them, and I was able to make better cooking decisions with the readings I got, but it was not user friendly trying to maintain a connection.

Hey Ben, appreciate you sharing your experience. Glad the readings helped you dial in your cook, and we want the connection process to feel just as smooth. Keeping the probe, dock, and your phone within range is key, and any walls or metal surfaces nearby can weaken the signal, so adjusting their placement can help keep everything linked without having to move the base around. If you ever want to walk through your setup with our crew, we’re here to help at +1-800-TRAEGER. TRAEGER

Nice set for a couple, I have been using a Meater+ for a few years and it worked perfect every time. I decided to purchase a Meater Pro duo and i'm not disappointed. All Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

Traeger should be much clearer that these do not work directly with the Traeger controller
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Rosie, thanks for sharing your thoughts. The MEATER wireless thermometer is a separate product and does not connect directly to the Traeger controller. It operates independently using the MEATER app on your phone or tablet. We appreciate the feedback and will continue working to make compatibility details clearer for future customers. If you have questions about how it works alongside your grill, you can reach us at +1-800-TRAEGER. TRAEGER

Hubby said they were easy to use and worked great. Able to monitor everything right from the phone.

How stupid is it to sell a wireless probe that requires a separate app from the Traeger app when many Traeger grills can use wireless probes? I can tell you I bought this and was very unhappy with it. Why would I ever want to use two apps to smoke one piece of meat?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Dustin, thanks for sharing your honest feedback. We understand that using more than one app during a cook is not the experience everyone is looking for. MEATER is a separate brand designed to work across a wide range of grills and cookers, not only Traeger models. Keeping it as its own platform allows it to support cooks whether someone is using a Traeger, a charcoal grill, a gas grill, or even an oven. We recognize that for customers who primarily cook on a Traeger, managing two apps can feel less streamlined. Your input is valuable and helps us continue improving the overall experience. If you would like to talk through setup options or product alternatives that may better fit your cooking style, please give us a call at +1 800 TRAEGER and we will be glad to help. TRAEGER
