Wade Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Just a comment on the use of the Meater, The probe has two temperature sensors - one at each end - and the meat sensor will be damaged if it is exposed to the smoke chamber temperatures. This means that you cannot just place the probe in the smoker to see it reach temperature before you put in the meat. There is a line on the probe showing how far it needs to be inserted into the meat So, if you want to use it to monitor the chamber temperature before the meat goes in, simply push it into a potato with a flattened end and place this in the smoker. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to the EU https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/232929668147?chn=ps Having left the EU, once out of transition, it will mean every import will have tax to pay because we won’t have any free trade deals. Or at least, very few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagg2000 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 For interest Tappecue have just launched wireless probes for the Touch I think they are called airprobes. Used with the Touch I beleive you have the best of both worlds with wireless and wired probe options. As the airprobes are only communicating with the Touch locally then you smartphone is talking to the Touch over the internet there is no issue with range if you are out walking the dog whilst cooking etc. Macsbbq sell some of the Tappecue range so may be able to shed light on availability in the UK rather than have to import. I'm looking to replace my Tappecue 2 with a Touch later in the year so may well look at adding the airprobes as sell Depends if SWMBO will allow Cheers n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagg2000 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 So, I'm now gathering quite a collection of probes, fans etc. In the recent Prime day extravaganza I picked up a Meater+ for £74 quid or so. Whilst I haven't shown it any heat yet, I've set it up indoors & in principal seems good & well made. I used a spare phone as a bridge from Bluetooth to Wifi & then checked I could access the cook online via my cloud account on another device using mobile data which was very simple on a android device. The instructions & video make mention of having to enable the Meater+ Link in the app but this seems to be an automated process in the android app at least. I'm hoping this is the long term solution for me as I'm fed up with forking out on cable probes at £25 a throw only for them to fail by supposed overheating. All i need to do now is find a way to do away with the probe for the fans. Cheers n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Love my meater thermometer. In the bbq and in the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawce Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi, I’ve been looking at the + for a while now, partly because all of the extra cables on my ThermoPro just get in the way (or I thread them through the top vent, but then there’s not much slack when lifting the lid). I saw it for £75 on the Amazon Prime Day a while back so I’m expecting the price to drop again for Black Friday. One worth watching out for anyway. My question is, what’s the range like when it’s in an enclosed metal smoker? Does that cause issues or would you need to bridge it nearby which kind of defeats the object of the WiFi in the first place? Thanks, Ross.

Smokin Monkey Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 These are a really good bit of kit. If you are looking to order, try this link BBQ Talks they have a partner offer of 15% Off! I can use one in a Dutch Oven which is thick metal and can receive a signal in the house 20 meters away. One trick you can do is use the receiver base as the bridge. Place the base halfway between the probe and your receiver (Phone) this helps with the signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawce Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Ah, I didn’t realise it uses the base to connect, I’d assumed it was direct from the probe to your phone. Makes sense, thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skagg2000 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Meater have recently released an improved probe. The Meater2 Plus. This addresses some of the short coming of the original product, now cope with much higher temperatures, is full waterproof etc. More on it here https://store-uk.meater.com/products/meater-2-plus I wonder if you cn=an just buy the probes to upgrade original purchases? Cheers n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeybumcheeks Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Buying the new probe on its own would be good, but I somehow doubt it and I don't think you'd be able to use 2 at a time from one charging block....I might be wrong though 🤔 Edited December 29, 2023 by Monkeybumcheeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
