Always speak the truth. And you do. 😊 This way the company knows, and can make changes to the product. Now, I would like some of the meat you cooked. Amazing

@BallisticBBQ 6 лет назад

Yeah, you pretty much NEED to use another device as a bridge with the MEATER if your using a cooker with the lid closed. The lid acts like a Faraday Cage and unlike other devises the transmitter is inside of the cooker. With the bridge the range is amazing, plus this thermometer can be used with a rotisserie. They're working on a base unit that acts as a bridge, so that should solve the problems and eliminate the need for using another device. Wish the bridge would have at least been demonstrated in this video.

@cookingwithjackshow 6 лет назад

I would have but no one is going to leave a phone or table outside near the BBQ. That isn't going to happen. I have to be the regular joe using this and no joe is going to risk heat damage or rain damage. It's hard to justify this device when I can use many other ones for half the price. Who cares if the wire comes out to the transmitter. most are magnetic and stick to the side of your grill. I will be doing another video soon using it in the kitchen.

@BallisticBBQ 6 лет назад

The devise doesn't need to be close enough to the pit to risk heat damage. It can be 15-20 feet away. I get your point with other devises, but none of those will work with a rotisserie, which I think is a great selling point. Any of the other brands that are worth their weight in salt cost the same or more. You get what you pay for... I just think the fair thing to do would have been at least demonstrated the bridging and mention the bridge that is in development. I'm not tied in with these guys, but I think it is a great product, that is only going to get better. (Still friends right?). ;)

@Ben7seven7 4 года назад

Nice review pointing out the flaws with the Meater. There is a new version however which I believe fixed the issue. The charging dock which holds the meter acts as a wireless relay. Instead of the probe connecting to your phone it instead connects to the repeater and your phone to the repeater for extended range and reliability.

@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ 3 года назад

Even his model if set up correctly would have worked flawlessly.

@chuckguy8803 4 года назад

No where in the video did I see the meater box by the grill. This is either an outdated review or you just don't understand how to use the Meater. It is awesome! Especially on a rotisserie where wired probes just don't work. It is the actual box that receives the signal from the probe. Set the box close to your grill. The box then sends your phone, where ever you are. The Meater Plus is good for over 150 feet. The Meater Block is good from here to the International Space Station by WiFi. Seriously. I hope you will consider taking this down as it's misleading on a great temp probe which can up everyone's game. It did mine.

@KhrisRoyal 2 года назад

Exactly, every review bashing this product has used it wrong. The box stays near the grill.

@gnomatic837 5 лет назад

The company has updated the product, now known as Meater+, that has a bluetooth repeater built into the charging block. I costs a bit more than the original, but hopefully goes a long way to alleviating the range issues.

@tarutaruomen 6 лет назад

It seems not many people know how Bluetooth works. The spec has a 3 meter range. Any device you buy that uses Bluetooth will have more/less the same range. If you use another device that allows you to connect from tens of feet with walls on between it is not connecting through Bluetooth.

@epic7522 6 лет назад

you put the smoke tube on the wrong side. the smoke is going straight up the smoke stack. if you put it on the other side the smoke is pulled over the meat

@kevinhamilton7965 6 лет назад

Even though it has a short reception range, this would be very handy for when I do rotisserie cooking on the grill....chicken, prime rib, lamb....I wouldn’t need to open the grill to take a measurement. Trying to keep an eye on the rotating food is challenging with wired remotes.

@pb601 6 лет назад

I think you mean it has two thermometers, not thermostats?

@joelangschultz7756 6 лет назад

It works great. I recommend having a tablet or another old phone in range then use your regular phone on the cloud. I can be out getting more beer watching it just fine.

@LassesFoodAndBarbecue 6 лет назад

Joe Langschultz thats the way i use mine too. :)

@BallisticBBQ 6 лет назад

Yes! I love my MEATER. With a bridge the range is unbeatable. I really wish he would have demonstrated the bridging.

@shawnhillman8630 4 года назад

It's running off the WiFi in your house, not Bluetooth. If your WiFi is strong enough to pair with it, that is a great thermometer.

@SuperBigDog2U 6 лет назад

Hey Jack, can you try the Meater on meat cooked in an oven in your home and see if it still fails to connect to you while you walk around the house? Maybe it's geared more for that purpose and I'd be curious to see if it works under that situation.

@cookingwithjackshow 6 лет назад

oh it's definitely geared for the grill. go look at their video

@Beezy089 6 лет назад

I dont understand why your target temp is 195.... I smoke meat at work all day and we run it at 180 degrees until the internal temp is 165. Cooking it until 195 would dry the hell out of it. Unless you have a damper feature on your smoker.

@chileroyeno 6 лет назад

Yup... brisket didn't even have bend when he pulled it out, might as well just've used the tongs to pull that brick out... bricksket!!!

@nicholashartzler2205 5 лет назад

LOL at the melted siding on the house.....

@jspell3539 4 года назад

T 6:10. Hilarious!!!!! Jacko got the grill a little too close to the house!!! LOL!!!!

@daddydutchbbq 6 лет назад

Jack , I love your measuring technique!!

@_arrgh976 6 лет назад

The problem is the grill and cover is steel and it attenuates the signal to point that it becomes a very short range device and then you go inside your house which would provide even more attenuation. However as a oven thermometer it should work fine. Inside your kitchen I would suspect that the convenience alone would provide adequate value even when the signal loss is so high. Where does the power come from? Does it generate power by the temperature difference between the meat and the head exposed in the oven or grill? That is not a lot of power.

@agustindiaz1772 6 лет назад

That´s not moist AT ALL. I love your videos but why do you lie in our faces?

@edgittens2170 6 лет назад

The crunch kinda confirmed it when he bit in.

@williamthomas2267 6 лет назад

I heard a crunch.

@chileroyeno 6 лет назад

You can see the resistence of the meat ad he drove thah knife in there!!!

@WibbyKDX 6 лет назад

If you use two devices you can increase the range over your WiFi I love mine

@theblade66 3 года назад

Yes I get that 100% I had the same issue. I thought I'd have to have another device connected to it where it stands. The ink bird is a treat of a thermometer. Love it the 4 probe . No issues, wireless I'm still working through it. Nice honest video man

@rurikau 5 лет назад

The MEATER has an inherent desgin flaw. Being just a probe with no external to the BBQ antenna you are trying to transmit inside a faraday cage. No wonder it is having troubles, I suspect that the range would be much improved if used inside a ceramic cooker.

@acarde 4 года назад

I agree, which is why it's hard to do, but there is a great use case for this. I just want to know if my chicken is done in the oven. I don't have to open the oven to find out. So it may not work well enough to take a bath for an hour in the house I just want to know if I can read the thing without opening the oven or grill from right next to it. So I don't lower the temperature by opening the oven or grill just to find out if it's done.

@wiifan222 6 лет назад

When he smacked the bug Lmfaooooooo

@BeastMortThe 6 лет назад

Jack is suppose to be a Gods man and he was so unkind to one of Gods creations... hehe. (Sorry Jack... couldn't resist.)

@Larryloafer488 6 лет назад

It also connects to WiFi extending the signal

@wollinger 6 лет назад

WELL DONE???!?!?!?!??!?? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@LouisatRshackBBQ 6 лет назад

Thank you for the review. I really was hoping it was going to work flawlessly-I have heard that it needs to have a primary device to send via cloud and wasn’t sold on that idea either.

@timsbudgetbbq6711 6 лет назад

Im a gadget type person and I really wanted one of the Meater thermometers. Guess Ill just keep on using my Maverick, which has nothing what so ever wrong with it lol. Thanks for the information!

@KevinLynnPorter 6 лет назад

This would be great using it in a rotisserie.

@GreyCountyGrillin 6 лет назад

Great review Jack! I was excited about the Meater, but the range has me a little worried now. Thanks for giving your honest opinion!

@ryanf7596 3 года назад

They released the meter+ which goes over a hundred feet, and there's also a functionality where you can connect it to your wifi and keep a connection through multiple devices. sure you figured this out now, but just in case you didn't.

@cow35f 6 лет назад

did you have the cloud function on?

@GhostCob 4 года назад

Hello, As a new griller. I am watching reviews. I have to say maybe you should use the product more maybe do some research on . Not try to use something then abort the mission. Sure hope your not a doctor or a first responder.. the melted siding also put a flag up for me. Thanks for the effort.

@Mrwrongmoss 4 года назад

Maybe you should do more research and you would know this product sucked and they had to update it to the meater plus and it still sucks

@davidjones4112 5 лет назад

I love the Meater, Perfect steaks every time. When I’m cooking on the grill I don’t go in the house, or if I do I don’t take my phone with me. I’m not that important. I love the Meater, I hope you’ll give it another shot.

@silverpanther69 6 лет назад

it has wifi as well

@timmartinez135 6 лет назад

No you for. Very honest review. Here’s my very honest question, i have a Smoke, is the Meater better or should i just still to what I already have?

@mpsmoov128 6 лет назад

stick with the smoke. its the best there is.

@georgiaabc1277 6 лет назад

I don't know meat temperatures, but why did it say 165 for well done, yet you set it to 195?

@FlyingSnoopy 6 лет назад

I love the birds singing in the background outside❤️❤️❤️. I love the review Jack but would like to thank you for introducing me to smoked paprika. I use it quite a bit and everything taste a lot better. Love you Jack!!!🙂

@brandlegacy6116 6 лет назад

You could have left the thermometer in the meat and leave the phone outside to see if it was accurate for the sake of the review... I have no problem leaving my phone next to the grill

@madswinebbq 6 лет назад

BrandLegacy Yup, I agree with you. Also you would leave the cell outside and monitor from the inside with a tablet..... I like it.... Just bought one 😁

@Legend2610 6 лет назад

You know summer is close when jack starts uploading lots of bbq videos

@antza9366 4 года назад

Meater+ bluetooth rocks

@b53bump 6 лет назад

Use the cloud. I am using my grandchildren’s amazon fire tablet for the main hookup that I am leaving by the smoker and my IPad for cloud monitoring. Working good. First time to use. The point I am making is you don’t need to leave your expensive Apple outside you can buy a kindle reasonably priced especially around Christmas. Some of my Kindles, 6 total, are rebuilds and have never had trouble.

@JackTheRipper86 Год назад

Setup MEATER link and cloud you will have unlimited range you can even go to the shop and see your temp

@Junitaco 4 года назад

@derekiu61 4 года назад

try pointing the meater the other direction maybe that might help.

@VinhLe-yj4no 6 лет назад

Thank you for this review! I was just going to buy one but than I saw this video.

@Larryloafer488 6 лет назад

After checking out many reviews of the Meater, Jacks is the laziest, he seems to neglect reading instructions properly on many reviews, Paul your finger out Jack or you’ll start losing subs.

@XxlargemanxX 6 лет назад

The metal from the grill probably destroys the bluetooth signal.

@MrGregoriosNJ 4 года назад

Hi Jack, Do you know of any comparable products? I'm building a monster trailer rotisserie smoker and I'm hoping to find a thermometer I can place inside rather than have thermometers inserted all around the outside. I'm trying to test now to see how the heat is transferring from firebox to smoking chamber and finding it difficult to do accurately.

@Burkemper100 6 лет назад

hay jack pleese give us a tour of your house

@Hawker5796 6 лет назад

Very interesting Jack. Odd how you lost your connection in the house.

@forever_90s_fan 6 лет назад

@jeremyeasterly4428 6 лет назад

Hey Jack, did the smoke tube give you more smoke flavor in the Silverbac? I own the Silverbac and would love a more smoke flavor in my meat.

@Roger3eme 6 лет назад

Thanks for the great video as always.

@kurtsigmund1369 4 года назад

That probe is monsterous! Do they offer smaller ones?

@Ben7seven7 4 года назад

Nope that’s prolly a downside to this being a self contained wireless device is it needs to be thicker.

@patrickpowers28 6 лет назад

Can you tell me about that heat glove you were using I'd love to have something like that

@MrBritishComedy 6 лет назад

Poor review in my opinion. You don't just abort the test and replace it with another device to finish it off. What doesn't work work you can still work for others (shorter distance etc.). Also, many people pointed out already that the device is capable of connecting to WiFi as well - everyone knows that Bluetooth and its range sucks. Why not try everything to make this work? Very lazy testing... Not useful to me as a potential customer at all I'm afraid.

@csederlund 5 лет назад

I agree, did he have an agenda? You can't complete a review without using the given tools. This review is not useful.

@acarde 4 года назад

I'm not thinking it's a review. He's just giving you his thoughts on his use case. This seems like more of a cooking channel more than a review channel, even if he does "reviews" based on his use case. And "agenda" c'mon. Not everything is a conspiracy.

@oasisbeyond 6 лет назад

Probably doesn't work good cuz it's inside the enclosure, unlike the other device.

@jasonkrau 6 лет назад

Too bad it didn't work. Great idea. Maybe if they made it connect via Wi-Fi that would be a better approach.

@luther4094 4 года назад

Well, he did program it to 195, which is well done. That was his preference. My wife would love his preferences, but I like it more moist/pink.

tell that to my other 3 devices that are bluetooth and work across the house

@BentTorpedoes 6 лет назад

On the website it say's Bluetooth smart for (oven, pan or gas grill) is 33ft, Bluetooth smart (bbq or smoker) is 10ft, For Meater Link Wifi is 165ft

@2HAMMERS1 3 года назад

yeah, my Daughter will take it, try it, then toss it in the trash. When I go to use it, I'll ask my daughter if she has seen it, I can just hear her sweet voice saying,,, Ohhhhhhhhh I thought it was a PEN that had no ink, si I tossed it in the trash. Baw, I'll buy one that has a wire Kids eh. if you are childless you would never understand this comment. { you so lucky ]

@williamthomas2267 6 лет назад

It does say "wireless to 33 feet".

@csederlund 5 лет назад

It also says it depends what type of material you are cooking in.

@captain42809 5 лет назад

When it says that it's usually with no interference it probably tested with just a lid when you go inside the house you have other things blocking the signal

@kadnfildnsflisfilsdn Год назад

I have one. It has a slick design and the app is great. However, if I go 3 feet away from the probe, the app disconnects. I have a pellet grill literally 3 feet outside the window of my office on my back porch and it wont connect. Biggest waste of money.

@TheTournyman 6 лет назад

You just earned a new sub because of your honesty

@KhrisRoyal 2 года назад

Looks like you didn’t leave the charger near the grill. If you leave it there it will stay connected to the probe and relay to your phone. Read the directions before blasting the product.

@ronanderson4118 Год назад

You are talking about the MEATER Plus., which uses the charger block as a Bluetooth relay. The original MEATER does not have the feature.

Meat is muscle, muscles have fibres… it’s literally just the fibres in the meat, the same you and I would have. If you raised a cow from birth and never in a ‘laboratory’ as you said, and butcher it, it will have the exact same lines. You’re a tad off your rocker

@madswinebbq 5 лет назад

You're right, however I live where there's kids and these little guys range from 8 to 15 years of age. There's not a device available to use 2 for this gadget. I either sell my children or trash the Meater because it honestly sucks. Or maybe do both! 🤣 I really wanted this to be my go to gadget but when something needs that much more involvement to work it just kills it. Definitely a waste of money.
