BBQ8 Bamboo Dual-Probe Wireless Thermometer

I ordered this pair of wireless meat thermometers specifically for holiday meal prep. I already have an app based wireless meat thermometer and it's pretty good. That older device requires an app so it's limited to a single device, without a way to monitor progress on the base, and during the holidays, it's all hands on deck. That's besides the fact that this thermometer has 7 separate sensors along the length of the probe so I am hoping for more even cooking results this holiday season.

Yes, even without needing to use an app, there will still be a learning curve because you do have to push a button to switch from one probe to the other. However, after the meal is in the oven, I know it will be much easier for family members to monitor the progress of our meal.

There is also an app, but I have no intention of using that so I will not offer an opinion about it in this review. I will mention that while I was waiting to receive this product for review, I noticed a cheaper version from the same brand. That may have been during Prime Days, but still worth mentioning that if you are shopping this item, I do suggest looking at the store page to check for a better deal; checking the price history is also always a good idea. There is also a less expensive single thermometer with the same features and because it's only one thermometer it's even simpler to use. Even at full price though, I am satisfied with the form, function and design of the controls for this model.

Whether your holiday meal is made from scratch or prepared by a local grocer, ready to go in the oven for warming, this pair of wireless thermometers will let you know when it's ready to eat. Simple to use, easy to monitor and having 7 sensors will end up with a better cook. 5 stars!

I started using this for grilling and smoking because I wanted to be able to keep an eye on temperatures without standing next to the grill the whole time. The two wireless probes make it easy to monitor separate cuts at once, and the app gives a clear view of what each one is doing.

What I really like is the standalone display on the base. I do not always want to pull out my phone just to check the temperature, so being able to glance at the screen is genuinely useful. The WiFi connection also makes it convenient to check progress from another room.

The probes feel solid, and having multiple sensors along each one gives more information than a basic single-point thermometer. Cleanup is straightforward once everything has cooled down.

There is a little setup involved with connecting the app and WiFi the first time, but after that it is pretty easy to use. For longer cooks, especially smoking or roasting, it takes a lot of the guesswork out of timing.

I didn't have any idea how this would go since I've always bbq'd by sight. I've had overcooked steaks when I am shooting for rare or medium. I've been using these for a few weeks now and man, I'm sold.

First, I wanted to see about accuracy. I put both probes in hot water and they registered within half a degree from each other and from my reference (oral temperature) thermometer. Totally within tolerances and not different enough to be a problem cooking.

Inserting the probe into meat is simple enough. The pointy end makes it glide in without a problem, just make sure the probe is inserted all the way in to the designed depth. Then, put the meat in or on whatever cooking method you decided on.

On my first use on the BBQ, I was afraid that the plastic part might melt because I cook on high heat, but gave it a try anyway. I watched the temperature go up on the app and the holder. The information is instant. I cooked the steak like I usually do and found that there is absolutely no problem with the plastic part tolerating my cooking methods. I was also able to take my steak out one full minute earlier than planned because the internal temp had reached medium rare levels like I wanted. Totally prevented me from overcooking my steak. I was sold.

Since then, I've used it in roasts in the oven. This included using a Dutch oven. I was pleasantly surprised that the signal worked even in the metal pot. The oven is no problem, and the BBQ less so. I also find it great that I can be out of the house and still see the temp in my app since it sends the info via internet. You can set target temperatures on each probe, and it alerts you when you are getting close and when you get to your target. This is not absolutely necessary since you can use the base to see the temperature, tho you are limited to Bluetooth distances. I have not had any issues with battery life. Probe automatically recharges when placed back in the base. Base has the USB C type connection, and seems to last days and days on a full charge. Even after a couple of weeks of use, I have not had to recharge the base. Additionally, the base has magnets, so you can place it on a metal surface and have it stay there! I put it on the doors to my bbq (cool surface) and have line of sight from where I sit.

Would I get this again? Absolutely. I am not afraid of over or undercooked meats anymore.

This is a well-designed wireless meat thermometer with some really useful features. I especially like the standalone display, which allows you to check the cooking temperature without constantly opening the phone app.

The dual probes are a big plus, making it convenient to monitor two pieces of meat at the same time. The wooden-style charging base looks nice on the kitchen counter, and the WiFi connectivity is a useful feature for longer cooking sessions.

The probes are slim and easy to insert, and the overall design feels modern and practical. It's especially useful for grilling, smoking, and oven cooking.

Overall, a great combination of convenience, functionality, and design. Definitely a nice addition to any cooking setup!

I absolutely love these! Once you have the app downloaded and you connect the probes, its smooth sailing from there. I don't have to have my blue tooth on in order to see the temperature from the app. you don't even need to use your phone at all if you don't want to. You can set the finished temp on the probe holder itself and then it will beep when its done. The probes slide effortlessly into the meat, they are easy to clean after they cool down and recharge once you put them away. They keep a charge for a long time, I had used it for 3 nights in a row without docking it. You charge the box up and then the probes change themselves from the box. Honestly this would make the most perfect gift so anyone who cooks. you never have to guess the temperature, mess with a kinked metal cable for traditional meat thermometers or anything else inconvenient. It can go in the grill, the crockpot, oven, you name it! know the temperature of the meat in real time!! Its the most used kitchen gadget I have and I will not be going without it!
