Combustion Predictive Thermometer (2nd generation) at a glance

What we like

  • Eight sensors, including an ambient sensor, with the maker's TrueCore design to find the lowest internal temperature
  • IP69K-rated and good to 900°F at the ambient sensor, with a two-year warranty
  • Bluetooth range is rated up to 330+ ft in the open, and accessories can extend it or add Wi-Fi

Trade-offs

  • Wi-Fi requires an accessory (WiFi Booster, WiFi Display or Giant Grill Gauge), which costs extra
  • Through walls, metal or foil the maker says Bluetooth range drops to roughly 10–100 ft
  • The charging cradle needs a USB power source, which isn't included
