The MEATER Plus (ASIN: B07WZDQPJ8) is a fully wireless smart meat thermometer available on Amazon.ca for $129 CAD. With dual sensors measuring both internal meat and ambient grill temperature simultaneously and a guided cook app, it's the best wire-free thermometer for home cooks.
“"I have cooked a perfect roast chicken every single time since I bought this. The guided cook feature is like having a professional chef telling you exactly what to do. My family can't believe how consistent the results are now."”

“"No wires is a bigger deal than I expected. Closing the grill lid cleanly, walking inside, checking my phone — it just feels right. My old wired thermometer was always in the way."”

“"Did a prime rib for Christmas using the MEATER. Pulled it at exactly the right internal temp, rested it per the app's timer, and it was the best prime rib our family has ever had. Worth every penny."”

“"The ambient temp sensor saved a cook — I realized my grill was running 50 degrees hotter than the built-in thermometer said. Without the MEATER I would have overcooked the whole brisket."”

Only one probe per unit
The MEATER Plus includes a single probe. Anyone who regularly cooks multiple large cuts simultaneously finds this limiting quickly and ends up buying additional probes or the MEATER Block, significantly raising the total cost.

Several users report connectivity drops when multiple walls are between the grill and their phone. The app loses the probe connection and stops updating until the phone is closer. This is inherent to Bluetooth and the free WiFi repeater feature helps but requires a dedicated second device.

The guided cook time estimates are based on averages and can vary meaningfully with specific cut thickness, starting temperature, and grill behavior. Experienced cooks trust the temperature readings over the estimated finish time.

While the probe is waterproof, the junction between the stainless steel shaft and the wooden handle should not be submerged — only the probe tip. Several buyers damaged their units by soaking the whole probe in water during cleaning.

The one report describes reliability problems — the probe reportedly worked correctly only once — and the owner contacting support. A single report isn't enough to call this a pattern — treat this as directional, not a verdict.
