5.0 out of 5 stars Been using it for 12 months
I've been using the meater block for 12 months now for barbecuing and smoking and I can say it is very good. OK yes it might be on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for and it is very good quality.You connect the block to your WiFi then you can monitor your cooks in the app from anywhere. It works great. I have done numerous cooks and smokes using the meater block from Xmas day turkey to brisket and steaks. Battery life is great, I havent had one run out on me yet whilst cooking. Longest cook using them so far was 16 hours. The app is also pretty good, has everything you need. It estimates cooking time quite well too and it is usually pretty accurate unless it's a big cut of meat, where it doesn't really take into account the stall well enough.Some reviews mention connection problems. I have experienced them for two reasons:1. When your phone switches Internet connection e.g. WiFi to 4g or if you have multiple WiFi access points at home and your phone switches between them then the app will say connection to meater lost which isn't the case. Once you open the app back up the connection is fine.2. The probes do not charge up properly and have low battery, which makes them disconnect. To solve this make sure you thoroughly clean the ends of the probes after each cook so the contact a the end is totally clean and silver again. Use wirewool scourer or if they are really tough, sandpaper. Also remember the probes do not charge when the block is turned on, so you need to make sure they are all charged before you start cooking.Having put the meater block through its paces for 12 months i can thoroughly recommend. As long as you keep the probes charged and clean, you'll have no problems.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic 5 STAR Product with Amazing Support
Amazingly fast delivery from Bolo Prime, as always. Received in about 16 hrs from order.The Meater Block; this is a very classy looking product that has clearly had design gurus on the case. Right from opening the product, the packaging sets the scene and makes you feel like you've just bought into something very high-end.The product itself is solid and heavy, not the usual light and flimsy rubbish, with very nice touches like a magnetic back panel, solid bamboo case & an elegant touch screen display used for monitoring and setting up your cooks when not used in WiFi mode. Each probe docks into the block and is automatically charged keeping them ready to use at all times.The device setup is slick! Just download the app and follow the onscreen instructions to connect and add to your device list and home WiFi. Starting a cook is intuitive but you are also guided through at all times.I've completed a few cooks with it now and all have been spot-on. I always test my food temps with a Thermapen before removing to rest and the Meater Block hit the mark perfectly every time. Just remember that the temp sensor in the probe is about 3cm up from the tip so make sure this part is in the centre of your meat.The app is very slick and has been built with modern design standards meaning navigation is easy and is very feature rich enabling you to configure your cook as you like with many different alarm functions.The probes are easy to clean and can even go in the dishwasher, but my nerves won’t allow this! Just remember to not extract the probes after the cook with bare fingers – they are still very hot!Support is second to none, assisting my query even out of hours! The only issue I had was with the cloud service and that turned out to be a fault with my own home router. Once this was removed from the equation everything worked flawlessly.***** 5 STAR PRODUCT and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED *****

If you have an irregular shaped cut of meat you can use multiple probes in the same joint of meat. A few days ago, my son’s friend stayed over. I cooked a nice fillet beef joint on the Kamado Joe, Rotisserie (I refuse to call it Joetisserie, it’s naff and embarrassing). Anyway, knowing that the friend was a fussy eater, I had a joint that was tapered. Using multiple probes allowed me to cook different areas of the same joint to different levels of “doneness”. Simple physics will tell you the thin end will cook quicker than the fatter end. By inserting multiple probes, I was able to serve well done meat and medium rare beef to my family. Seriously, you must buy this system, and remember, you can use it in your kitchen’s oven(s) too. It not just for barbecuing.===============UPDATED REVIEW=======18 NOV 2021===================Well, I used the Meater Block to rotisserie a chicken today. It’s like a fire and forget missile! Get the Kamado going (I have a 2 month old Kamado Joe Classic III) stick the temperature probe in the chicken’s breast and just watch the cooking from an information screen. I set temperature alerts, but if the ambient temp drops, all the app does is add or freeze time. This way you know for certain your chicken (or whatever is cooked). You don’t need the weight, since you’re cooking to the temperature of the meat, not the bbq. This is a fool proof way to roast, bake or bbq safely. The chicken I had for dinner was delicious, especially after wrapping in foil, then towels and putting in an insulated cool bag for 2 hours. The meat was tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. It’s a lot of money, but then so is the Kamado Joe. Why ruin it by constantly opening the kamado to use a thermoprobe, when for a couple of hundred pounds, you can sit back and relax? BUY THE MEATER BLOCK, IT’S DOTTORE APPROVED!!!===============ORIGINAL REVIEW=====17/11/2021=============Last week I submitted a rather scathing review. Bolo didn’t like it, and it was my intention of changing it, because I actually supplied incorrect information. The reason it was scathing was it comes supplied with alkaline batteries which I heavily criticised. Part of my criticism was levelled at what I believed to be the case. That is there was no usb option. I was stressed last week rushing around trying to sort out a party that night. I didn’t examine the product properly. Behind the metal stand, is a Micro USB port. This allows long cooks. However, as it’s microUSB it’s still not great since long microUSB cables are not common place.I still would have preferred a rechargeable unit, and I don’t doubt that the next version will no doubt include it. I am yet to use it, as my other gripe was that you had to wait 8 hours for the probes to charge. I think this is something that should have been mentioned in the details section. Thus, if you plan to use it on a particular day, leave at least two days before the event to receive and charge your probes. I will use this at the weekend, and I will report back on its usage characteristics. However, looking at the quality of everything from packaging, product and App, you can tell that this is a premium product.
4.0 out of 5 stars Meater
I like that it is fairly compact and it works almost as intended. My main problem with it is that it loses connection often through the kamado classic, especially if something gets wrapped in foil, making it fairly useless at times. Apart from that it does the job at a premium.
Amazing
Great app seamless integration into wifi and awesome product. Would give it 10 stars if I could. Made cooking on the smoker way easier and stress free!!!!!
Disappointed in my Meater Block
I purchased the Meater Block for it's WiFi capabilities and it offered 4 probes. I like the unit, it is very beautiful, but functionality. Though I belive it is accurate to within 2-5 degrees of my Thermo pen. The Wifi Connectivity lacks. I am constantly losing connection to my WiFi Router and my router is only 20 feet away with No obstruction. And when it is on Bluetooth, the coverage is lost after about 15ft away. I believe the unit needs a Firmware update to address these issues, or I am going to have to go back to my TempSpike. It may not have WiFi, but I get 200ft coverage around my whole house with Obstructions. Disappointed since it is a high price point.
Perfektes Steak
Ist sein Geld auf alle fälle Wert, Einstellung und das Ergebniss kann sich sehen lassen, war der Erste Versuch und war Toppppp!!!!Fals sich wer die Frage stellt ist schon viel Geld, ja stimmt aber dafür nie wieder ein schönes Stück Fleisch vergolden ;)
Eccellente prodotto
Eccellente prodotto
Muy útil y cómodo de usar
Como único punto negativo hay que asegurarse de limpiar bien la zona de carga del termómetro después de su uso. Si queda con macha seca no carga bien
