MEATER Plus Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer - 165ft Range

In this review of the MEATER Plus the bottom line is simple: this probe is for home cooks and grillers who want wireless, app-driven temperature control to hit precise doneness without babysitting the grill. The MEATER Plus stands out because its wooden charger doubles as a Bluetooth repeater to extend range up to 165ft, letting users monitor a roast from inside the house while the meat cooks outside. For anyone who values guided cooking and accurate internal and ambient readings, this model is an easy tool to improve results.

Key Features

• 165ft Wireless Range: The charger contains an advanced Bluetooth repeater so you can check progress from inside while the grill or smoker is outside.
• App-Controlled Precision: The MEATER app on iOS and Android gives guided cooks, temperature alerts, and estimated completion and rest times to reduce guesswork.
• Dual Temperature Sensors: Two sensors in the single probe track internal meat temperature up to 212F and ambient temperature up to 527F for more reliable cook management.
• Recharge & Reuse: The wooden charger stores and protects the probe, repeats Bluetooth, and supports up to 24 hours of continuous cooking per charge for lengthy smokes.
• Limited Edition Engraving: The King of the Grill engraving and brown sugar color make this a gift-ready option for grill enthusiasts who appreciate a personalized touch.

Who It's For

The MEATER Plus is best for backyard grillers, roast cooks, and weekend smokers who want a wireless, app-driven solution that removes the need to open the oven or smoker to check temperatures. Its guided cooking features and dual sensors are particularly helpful for cooks who prefer precision over intuition.

It is less suitable for users who require enterprise-grade connectivity or a hardwired probe for long commercial cooks; some users also report occasional connection loss or reduced battery duration in heavy use, so those wanting absolute reliability for every multi-day cook may want to consider wired or networked alternatives.

Cons

• Some customers report intermittent connection loss, so results depend on environment and placement.
