We'll be looking for your review in August then.Purchased but I missed the Prime Day price. Still have a $20 off coupon so total price was $69. Will not be here til the end of August. The rotisserie will love it.
That is what really concerns me about this particular style of thermo. In addition to the fact that the the ambient portion of the thermo reads the temp in the cold air bubble surrouding the meat and not the actual chamber temp.my Meater+ broke after the 98th use. The internals came lose and pulled out the barrel.

I bought the Meater when it first came out and had such range/connection issues that I haven't bothered to use it in years. As soon as I close the cover on the grill/smoker, I lose connection. I could leave an old iphone next to the grill, but, come on! Useless POS IMHOI’ve used my MEATER+ for just over 2 years. The Bluetooth range isn’t great. However, I now leave an old iPhone or iPad within 20 ft of the cook and via MEATERCloud I can view that status on my phone from anywhere I get Wi-Fi or cellular service. Using this work around I love the MEATER+ and use for every cook.

I've got the original Meater. The charging station is only that. It plays no role in connectivity. They claim a range of up to 10' if used in a smoker or grill. I got nowhere near that.Where is the base/charger unit located while you are doing the cook? It needs to be within BT range of the probe and a closed lid on the smoker reduces the range considerably.
I leave the base/charger unit right next to the smoker or oven and the connection remains solid
I have to think that the Meater + was an attempt to address the range deficiencies of the original Meater. 10 foot range is only slightly more useful than a wired probe with a readout.I've got the original Meater.

I know this is an old thread but thought I'd post on my experience which was the same as yours. I invested in Tappecue years ago and upgraded to their Touch version. When they released their wireless sensors it gave me an endless range using their app. It also connects via Bluetooth but if you have the Tappecue Touch base it will connect via wifi. It works great and is very accurate. Of course it comes with a cost but for those of us who like to smoke through the night and get alarms on temps getting out of range and also be able to sleep, the investment was worth it. They also have a komado control with blower. Great company and I've met the owner when she was a startup at the University of Kansas in Kansas City.
I just ordered the Meater 2 plus. Higher internal temp than the others and higher ambient. increased range of the Bluetooth. I’ve been waiting for these improvements for some time. I know several that have the originals and they love them. This new will blow the others away. I also use an inkbird i bbq-4t. That’s my go to for long cooks. Check out this linkHello Friends,
I've been considering purchasing a Meater Plus bluetooth thermometer...and wanting to solicit opinions and/or reviews from any of you who own and use these. I really like the idea of a totally wireless probe that measures both internal meat temps and ambient cooker temps without futzing with multiple probes and probe wires. I like my Maverick and my Inkbird, but it'd sure be nice to eliminate stringing probe wires out of my cooker.
To those who've owned and/or used these...what say you? How do you think they perform? Do you trust their accuracy? How user friendly is the app? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the device? Would you buy it again, or steer clear and find something else?
Thanks in advance!
