Weber iGrill 3 Wireless BBQ Thermometer — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Weber iGrill 3?
The Weber iGrill 3 is a Bluetooth-connected smart thermometer meant primarily for use with Weber’s Genesis II and Spirit II grills (those equipped with an “iGrill 3 Ready” plate). It allows you to monitor the internal temperature of your food via your smartphone and get alerts when it reaches your target doneness.
How many probes does it support, and what comes included?
The iGrill 3 comes with **two color-coded meat probes** out of the box. You can expand it to support up to **four probes total** (additional probes sold separately).
What are its performance specs (battery life, range, compatibility)?
• Battery life: up to **250 hours** of usage.
• Bluetooth range: around **150 ft (line of sight)** to your smartphone.
• Compatible grills: Weber’s Genesis II, Genesis II LX, and Spirit II grills with the “iGrill 3 Ready” mount.
• Operating / measurement range: The device handles typical BBQ temperature ranges up to ~716 °F (the probes are built to handle high heat) per the user manual.
How do I use the iGrill 3?
1. Install the iGrill 3 module into the dedicated mounting location on compatible Weber grills.
2. Insert the probes into your food cuts, avoiding bone impact areas.
3. Pair it with the Weber iGrill mobile app on iOS or Android via Bluetooth.
4. In the app, set your target temperatures, alarm thresholds, and monitor in real time.
5. The app notifies you when food reaches your set temperature so you can remove or adjust accordingly.
How do I care for and maintain the iGrill 3?
• Wipe the unit with a lint-free cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do **not** submerge it in water — the device is not fully waterproof.
• Remove and replace batteries when they become weak or corroded. Clean battery contacts if corrosion occurs (some manuals advise using vinegar and a soft brush).
• Store probes separately if possible to avoid wire damage or strain on connectors.
• Periodically check firmware updates within the app to ensure best performance and bug fixes.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Integrated into Weber grills—no extra mounting hardware for compatible models.
• Fully app-enabled: temperature alerts, presets, history logs, and grill fuel level (on gas models) features.
• Long battery life (≈250 hours) reduces frequent replacements.
• Expandable probe support (up to 4).
Limitations:
• Only fully supported on Weber grills with an “iGrill 3 Ready” mount—installation on other grills may require custom modifications.
• Bluetooth connection may drop if your smartphone moves too far or obstacles block line-of-sight.
• Probes and wires are subject to wear; careful handling is necessary.
• The unit itself is not waterproof, so exposure to heavy moisture or immersion must be avoided.
