Purchased for Thanksgiving Turkey Day to smoke dinner. Very happy with Wifi monitoring and higher temperature ratings. Charging instructions are very incomplete and mine does not appear to be working properly as described.
After reviewing many other options, I chose the MEATER DUO, and I am happy that I did! I purchased it to smoke my first turkey for Thanksgiving, and it turned out great. However, MEATER made it easy to complete the nine-hour cook.
Very disappointed at the distance needed for this probe to operate. I flipped a tritip to the other side of the grill and the probe lost connection.

Thank you for your review of the MEATER Pro Duo. The Probe has a range of 33 feet/10m in open air (line of sight) Appliances with thick metal lids or walls can limit the range. To maximize the range, the charger must be within 100ft/30m of the nearest Wi-Fi access point, and no further than 3ft/1m from the probe. Watch the included video to learn about range expectations. If you still need help, please contact us and one of our agents will be happy to help. https://support.meater.com/contact-us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INWvpspwrwc&list=PLVr0FnN9Zx8UbCkSZRcebkUawRq3zOFc6&index=17
I fixed Cornish hens and normally I would time cook them. I fixed 6 hens with 2 probes. I placed them in the breast of the 2 middle hens and rotated the pan half way through the estimated cooking time. Let rest before serving and they were almost perfect. Will add about 10 minutes to the cooking time going forward.
Wasn't impressed with the meater cloud on Thanksgiving. I left a review on Facebook and Instagram and they were promptly removed.

I bought this to augment my single Meater because I would be cooking more than one turkey this year, and also I wanted to measure the temperature in the breasts and also at the thighs. It was simple to add the additional 2 sensors to the Meater app.
