Read the reviews, like most bluetooth thermometers unless you live in a paper house the range can be as little as 4 metres data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

I have both generations of the Igrill bluetooth (now owned by Weber) and the range is terrible

Well here's my review of the Umwie dual probe wireless meat thermometer:

Delivery: 5/5 - very fast
Build Quality: 2.5/5 - quite flimsy plastic - plug not perpendicular to side so looks wonky
Display: 4/5 - with good batteries nice and clear, with good viewing angles
Flexibility: 3/5 - comes with two probes however only one socket so you could leave your probe in and move the sender unit from dish to dish I guess
Features: 3/5 - various timers/meat cookedness/tenderess settings/alarms etc.Can select Celsius or Fahrenheit
Unboxing experience: 1/5 - plain cardboard box with everything jammed in.box too small really - packaging bursting out the cracks
Temperature accuracy: 0/5 - did not display meat temperature

Overall score 3/5

Does that lower the overall score rather more than what you awarded it ?data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Just a wee bit of average score humour data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Does neither probe work?

imightbewrong Publish time 26-11-2019 05:25:31

Neither.When plugging the probe in the transmission led starts blinking, but the receiver never picks anything up.

Have you tried the rest button on the receiver? although it does sound like you have a dud data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

I went through everything on the sheet - no dice.

I did change my cook style though - left the lid on much longer - about 5 hours after loading up with suitable smoking wood.Have started to just believe in the process a lot more.Got good reviews all round so will probably just stick to my reliable old OXO data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Should have gone with the Maverick data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

It looks good but I don't need £50 worth of thermometer data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
