I have the igrill and used it this weekend for the first time with new smoker, worked excellent, very easy to use and setup. Only tried the new igrill pro app but worked great. Very happy with it

I got one for X-mas and have used it at least 10 plus. In fact I have it on a bacon run right now at 17 hours and counting.  Have compared it to my Maverick and temps are right on!  I have the deluxe, or whatever it's called with the two probes.  The one thing I have noticed is the first battery is on it's last 25% but I have done two 26 hour bacon runs and a couple of overnight butts.

Hey 10.5, buy an IPAD. You know what they say, once you go MAC, you never go back.  My IGRILL rocks.

I love using my iGrill ... one of the features is graphing and it allows you to email yourself the graph which I'm starting to incorporate in my Blog posts.  Here's what it looks like when SWMBO allows me to use her iPad  ;D ;)

I still verify the meat IT with my Thermopen thermometer just like when I'm using my ET-732s or the MAK temp probes.  Over time I have learned to rely and trust my 'Pink' Thermopen as the gospel ... the other probes get me in the neighborhood and allows me to monitor things remotely.

Hi all.  Haven't been here in a while, but thought the Bradley Family would have something to say about the iGrill.  I was considering purchasing the item, but then saw a bunch of reviews complaining about failed probes, dropped connections, poor range, and poor battery life.

I've had probe problems with the Maverick before, and have just accepted that the wear and tear is limited, but the reviews on iGrill probes complained about failures after 1 or 2 uses sometimes. 

Any thoughts?

I just got mine on Tuesday. I bought it against hearing all the bad reviews. Worked awesome on a roast on my weber kettle. The range was good enough for where I go. I didn't test the max range but will this weekend.

Nice to see you posting again.

Either Cook's Illustrated or Cook's Country had a small article on the Igrill. I just glanced over it, but I do recall that it stated there were improvements since the last time they tested it, and a price drop. I'll try to find the article and provide more details.

I do see an Android version is now available, although, it seems the app is a scaled down version of the iOS one.

Just ordered mine. Use promo code "share15", for 15% off. they also have "sparklers" for 25% off accessories right now. I ordered the ambient probe with it as they guy said that if you use the meat one for ambient if it gets damaged by the heat or touching an element or something they don't cover that. in the end it worked out i paid just under $85 for both, will have 2 meat and 1 ambient. on a side note also ordered my bubba pucks, now all i need is my dang smoker (BD6) to arrive.

Did you order from Bradley?  All I saw on their page was a link to dealers?

So used it on the seasoning of the smoker. Started at around 70, 20 min mark it spiked to about 200, 40 min mark it leveled out to about 155 for the next hour of smoking. I never actually looked at the Bradley to see what it said but had it set to 150

had my first issue, one of the probes seemed to have shorted. had 2 butts in, one read 50's the other seemed to climb with the cabinet temp. called igrill and they are shipping me a new probe. gonna get some of that high temp rtv sealent i read that somebody else did and seal the ends up. also gonna try and bake the probe in the oven and see if that fixes it.(saw that on here somewhere as well) love this site.

glad they sent you a replacement

Post by: Snoopy on August 15, 2013, 03:23:49 AM
So got the replacement, also baked the "bad" one and it ended up fixing it from what I can tell, so now have extra one which is nice, means I can throw 3 butts in at the same time now and be able to check em a all. Sealed the ends up with the smallest huge bottle of high temp stuff I got from auto zone, pretty sure I have enough to seal everyone's on this forum. Sure ill find something else to use it for.

I've had to bake my probe for the Bradley thermometer before, still need to pick up the high temp seal though
