Weber iGrill Pro Ambient Probe Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Weber iGrill Pro Ambient Probe and what does it measure?
The Weber iGrill Pro Ambient Probe is a stainless-steel sensor that clips onto your grill grate to accurately monitor the ambient (air) temperature inside your grill or smoker.
What temperature range can the Ambient Probe measure?
It reliably measures from 40 °F up to 400 °F, with the ability to tolerate temperatures up to 600 °F for short periods. Other sources confirm a range from –22 °F (–30 °C) to 572 °F (300 °C).
Which devices is this probe compatible with?
This probe works only when connected to a Weber smart thermometer—such as the iGrill Mini, iGrill 2, iGrill 3, or Weber Connect devices.
What’s included with this probe?
Each package includes the ambient probe itself, a grate clip for optimal placement, a probe wrap for neat storage, and color-coded sleeves to help you identify multiple probes easily.
How do I care for and clean the probe?
After cooling, wipe the probe clean with a damp cloth or antibacterial wipe. Do not submerge it in water, use a dishwasher, or let moisture reach the junction where the wire meets the probe.
Why should I use an ambient probe in addition to a meat probe?
The ambient probe tracks the grill's internal air temperature accurately—more reliable than lid thermometers—helping you fine-tune your heat control. Meanwhile, a meat probe monitors internal meat temperature, giving you complete temperature oversight for both your cooker and your food.
