Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol

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.

All I can think of is reminders to fill the pellet bin. On balance I don’t think that’s worth it

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.

I’ve got a bluetooth temp probe set too. I use it in my smoker. I’m not trusting that expensive piece of meat to the whims of the gods. I need to know what the temperature of the meat is and when it hit’s the target temps.
