  It’s great for smoking though. I’ve done it the old fashioned way of staying up all night to feed wood into the smoker and I’ll gladly take the wifi-enabled pellet smoker with a temperature probe over it.

    Why do you need wifi? You turn a knob and fill it with pellets every couple hours.

      To get the temperature probe data on your phone so that you don’t have to repeatedly get up to check it. It’s particularly useful for Turkey, because the difference between moist vs horribly dry white meat is only 5-10 degrees.

        Why not just buy a wifi probe instead of an entire grill? I’d rather a tiny thing stop working than being unable to use my grill at all because it’s jammed with too much tech.

        Truly do they do anything else worth it? I’m a plan charcoal grill person, so never wanted or looked into anything beyond that.

        I’ve got a Bluetooth temp probe set. They work a treat. And I totally forgot to even use them when I got smoked a salmon and chicken wings for Canada Day.
