Meaters are on a discount on Amazon right now if anyone is interested. I've taken the plunge.

Cheers Duncs - I’ve ordered one of the shorter range ones.

ETA: cancelled that abs ordered the Meater+ with the longer range after reading the reviews. Seems worth the extra £15.

Amazon links don't work very well on here, so just go to Amazon and type 'Meater'.

Duncs, they're basically the same; the extended range comes from something in the bamboo box not the probe itself. I just know I'll walk out of range.

I just figured I'll be close to the bbq tending to it (or drinking beer in the garden), so never going to be that far away. Some of the reviews said they couldn't even read it in the oven which was a bit of a worry, but most were happy with it.

I've changed my mind about buying it now and cancelled - I just don't think I'll end up using it :lol:

Ah, I've got grand plans for some low and slow action next year, so it'll come in handy for me. :)

I'll still be using the bbq, I just think I'll try the Meater once and put it away, never to be used again.

I can't fault mine to be honest.

the bamboo holder is attached to the leg of the BBQ and the Bluetooth range is 50 m + so never an issue really - you powerfully built company directors may have bigger gardens... :lol:

Internal and External temps are very accurate.

Currently reading Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling during my incarceration. It starts out with a lot of detail about the science of bbq and myth busting, and then later goes into recipes. Really interesting actually, I'm learning a lot from it, although I feel I might need to read it again to remember it all.

Kept it simple for my first foray into low and slow bbq at the weekend. Followed Meathead's "Last Meal Ribs" recipe to the letter, and the results were most excellent! What a genius!

I went for the KC style bbq sauce, which I'm also mightily impressed with. Well excited for this summer now.

I don't know how you do it with charcoal though, I was constantly tweaking the dials to get maintain the temp. I was thinking about complementing my gas with a smoker but now it seems like it might be hard to do! :lol:

They look fantastic Duncs.

Cleaned my Weber at the weekend and I’ve used it twice so far, once to do a couple of steaks and on Monday morning for bacon for my breakfast. Glad I got the extra gas bottle. Weber’s website has a video showing you how to clean a gas grill which is all lies 😂
