Glenn Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Is anyone using the Meater / or Meater+ Thinking about purchasing one and wanted to know if you had one whether you would buy one again having used it several times or if you would consider another product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Do not know of any one with one, but from what i have seen the + has a far better range than the early model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I have never used one but I have a Meater+ on order to try it out. My preferred thermometer at the moment is the "Smoke" from ETI/Thermodata but others who have used and reviewed the Meater seem to like it. I should know next week and I hope to be using it on my last BBQ course of the year next weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 How did you get on with the Meater+ Wade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I used it for the first time a couple of weekends ago with a whole chicken on on my last BBQ course of the year. It worked very well. As it was my first experience with it I used it in conjunction with my Smoke thermometer - and the reading were very similar. It can only be used with a phone app and so the range is limited however as I went in and out of range the app caught up seamlessly. There is an option to have the app work over WiFi however you still need a Bluetooth device locally that will act as a bridge. This can be either a phone or it is built in to the 4 probe "Meater Block". The app is easy to use and it gives you alerts when the meat is approaching its cooked temperature. It also gives a lovely temperature graph over the duration of each cook showing both the chamber and meat temperatures. A downside is that the graph/data cannot be exported from the app for use elsewhere. I contacted Meater about this and they informed me that they are considering adding it as a feature in a future release. Another minor consideration is that the probe has to be inserted into the meat at least an inch or so to avoid causing damage to the probe - there is a line scribed onto the probe showing the required level. This is fine for most meats but if you are cooking thin meats then this may be a problem. Would it be worth buying? Yes I think so. But for the price of the Meater+ I think that the ETI/Thermadata Smoke may be worthy alternative to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
