Why is the ambient temperature different from the smoker temperature?
Hello, the temperature can vary depending on the location, time, and heat source. We’ve conducted tens of thousands of ambient temperature tests, and whether it’s the same brand or different brands, even a difference of just 1 cm or 1 inch in position can cause a significant temperature variation. Our thermometer is NIST-certified, so please use it with confidence.

Defective – but still rates a big 5+? Wonderful monitoring system…
In fact, maybe because of the defect, that’s what cements my rating of 5 – read on…[if you want to skip the background stuff, the actual review is further down]I have had a long-standing disagreement with my brother-in-law about the best way to cook steaks – sear first, then indirect heat or, visa-versa…he lives on the east coast and I on the other, so it has taken years of back-and-forth visits for this thing to play out…our taste tests have been somewhat indefinite…with the advent of AI, I checked in recently with my favorite chatbot at the moment, Gemini Pro, and had a discussion – it was definitely in the indirect first/sear-after camp, so it agreed unfortunately with my brother-in-law 🙁 …In any event, with the price of beef so high anymore (my last 2″ thick, prime cowboy steak put me back over $80!!) and therefore trying to be extra careful, I decided it was time to move past my testy instant-read thermometer assist and invest in an always-in probe so I could more easily monitor the cooking progress during the indirect period, particularly during those last few minutes when the cooking curve begins to rise so much more quickly toward the end…OMG! So many choices – I had no idea…lots of features to digest and prices ranging all over the place…searching Google is not much help when it comes to something like this with so many off brands…you simply have to ponder the Amazon reviews, look at various the feature sets and try to evaluate those against the pricing – a daunting task when there are so many…I have a friend who would most probably populate an Excel spreadsheet for such a task, but I don’t have the patience he does…Ok, enough of the background and on to my ACTUAL REVIEW of the BBQOVN BQ08 and its features:2 PROBES – I most often cook two or more steaks, so having the two probes seems like a good idea since no matter what, the cooking surface is going to be uneven and the steaks will be so too, and, if you use them for a big turkey or roast, monitoring multiple points is a good idea…MULTI-SENSOR – being able to watch the progression of the cooking from outside edge to the middle as the cook goes on is great, and it greatly adds to the comfort level of protecting against missing the ideal pull-point for your meat…additionally, being able to monitor the ambient temperature of the cooking surface is really helpful by allowing you to modulate your grill temp (I have a gas grill so pretty easy to do) to keep is near the ideal for best indirect cooking, e.g., trying to keep the cooking temp near 375-400F degrees for the indirect period…the single tip-only-sensor probes cannot do this…BOOSTER BOX – the “system” works such that the probes communicate to the booster box placed near the grill so they can penetrate the grill enclosure at all times, with the box then connecting to your Wi-Fi so that it can communicate at all times with the app on your phone – that way you always have access to monitoring no matter where you are…connectivity was all that you need to roam wherever…APP – lots of settings…all the things you would expect to see and probably more – even “flip” reminders and such…BUILD OF THE BOOSTER – robust construction, sturdy…nice magnetic base to mount anywhere on your grill…readability is nice and you can easily use it without the app since it has its own readouts, though in that mode you are limited to just seeing the tip-sensor…looks and feels professional and finished…So, I found the BBQOVN BQ08 system to have a great combination of features and value when I compared to the wide range of other choices on Amazon, which numbered in the dozens – I don’t think you could go wrong!As to my title – I did have an issue – the tip-sensor on one of the probes was defective, DOA – it never read past 95F degrees…fortunately, since I had it in the mode where I was watching all 7 of the sensors on my phone, I could see that it was wrong as the cook progressed and therefore based my pull-point on its number 2 sensor (I nominally compared it to the difference I was seeing on the tip and number 2 sensor on the other probe)…The defect would not have been so easy to see if the feature set of the system was not so robust. Of course, the next morning I reported this to Amazon and they set up a replacement right away!

Excellent Remote Thermometer!
I really like this BBQOVN BBQ6 Wireless Meat Thermometer. I have used a similar BBQOVN wireless thermometer in the past, and the convenience and accuracy of these thermometers is exceptional.I especially like the 6 sensors (plus one in the handle) of this model, which can save a lot of random poking around to see if the item is done all the way through. If you are using it without the app, with just the Booster (bamboo base station) it will display the lowest reading sensor automatically. It will do the same in the app if you are using the simple mode, or if you select the advanced mode it will display the readings from all the sensors. Switching back and forth from the two modes is easy.For my use, the display panel on the face of the Booster is most convenient (the BBQ5S model has it on the side). I think the bamboo Booster (which is rechargeable and charges the probe itself, when inserted) is very attractive and easy to store on my refrigerator with the built in strong magnets.Even though the thermometer can be used without a phone or tablet, the BBQOVN App really opens up the capabilities of this device. It is easy to set up, and using WiFi, the range is essentially unlimited. How nice to monitor the progress of my cook from the comfort of my easy chair. The app will alert me when it is time to turn the meat, and when the pre-set temperature is reached and the cook is done. And if you are using two BBQOVN thermometers for different parts of your project, they will both display in the app simultaneously. Nice!For ease, accuracy and the attractiveness and ease of storage I can highly recommend this product. 5-Stars.

Ease of mind
The black probe won’t connect to the booster at all. White probe works perfect. Also, the booster itself won’t stay on for more than 3 seconds. Going to return and try again.Update: 11-25-2025 I’m changing my review to 5 stars because in initial review the black probe didn’t work so customer support attempted to assist in fixing the problem. However it was determined there was a defect. So they sent a completely new bbq9 which is a little different then the one I originally bought but is fine by me. Customer service even expedited the shipping to next day. I used the the bbq9 on a wagyu tri-tip and it worked exceptionally well. I even checked the temp with a handheld thermometer and the temps were within a half degree. Customer support for this product is the best I’ve ever dealt with for any product. I would definitely recommend this product and will actually be purchasing another set for my brother. Thank you to customer support for the patience and willingness to make sure I have a product that works as advertised with quality and functionality.

Als Vine-Produkttester bewerte ich Artikel stets ehrlich nach meiner eigenen Einschätzung. Ich bewerte nur Produkte, die ich selbst nutze oder nutzen würde.Das BBQOVN Kabellose Fleischthermometer kommt in einer soliden kleinen Kartonverpackung. Diese wird mit einem Pappstreifen geöffnet und enthält eine weitere stabile Schachtel, deren Deckel einfach abgehoben werden kann. Zusätzlich liegt ein kleines Stück Geschenkpapier bei. In der Schachtel befinden sich: das kabellose Fleischthermometer, ein USB-C-Ladekabel, eine gefaltete, bebilderte Bedienungsanleitung in Englisch sowie ein etwa 20 mm breites, weißes Geschenkband mit der Aufschrift „Just For You ❤️“. Mit diesen Extras lässt sich das Thermometer direkt auch als kleines Geschenk ansprechend verpacken.Das Thermometer selbst besteht aus der Basisstation (Booster) und der ca. 12,5 cm langen Fleischsonde (Probe). Das gesamte Konzept gefällt mir sehr gut: Die kompakte Basisstation im Holzlook wirkt hochwertig und sauber verarbeitet. Das bündig eingelassene LED-Display ist gut lesbar und zeigt alle wichtigen Informationen übersichtlich an. Besonders praktisch ist die Halterung für das kabellose Thermometer, die über drei Ladekontakte verfügt. Sobald die Sonde eingelegt wird, lädt sie über die Basisstation auf. Die Basisstation selbst wird über die USB-C-Buchse an der Vorderseite aufgeladen. Auf der Rückseite befinden sich zwei starke Magnete, mit denen sich die Basisstation einfach an metallischen Oberflächen befestigen lässt. Die angegebenen Ladezeiten und die Laufzeiten der Akkus erscheinen für die Praxis ausreichend zu sein. Der Ladezustand sowohl der Basisstation als auch der Sonde wird übersichtlich auf dem Display angezeigt.Die Inbetriebnahme war einfach und schnell. Die Verbindung mit der zugehörigen App funktionierte problemlos. Die Nutzung der App ist optional, bietet aber zusätzliche Informationen und die Möglichkeit, die Temperatur über das Internet zu überwachen, da sich die Basisstation direkt per WLAN mit dem Router verbindet. Einstellungen an der Basisstation und in der App lassen sich leicht durchführen.Insgesamt ist das BBQOVN kabellose Fleischthermometer ein wirklich faszinierendes Stück Technik, das gegenüber herkömmlichen kabellosen Fleischthermometern zusätzlichen Komfort bietet. Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, die Bedienung intuitiv, das LED-Display gut ablesbar, und die Möglichkeit der Fernüberwachung über die App ist ein komfortables Extra.Fazit:Ein rundum gelungenes kabelloses Fleischthermometer für Hobbyköche und Grillfans, das sowohl optisch als auch funktional überzeugt. Praktisch verpackt, einfach zu bedienen, durchdacht in der Handhabung und mit praxisgerechter Akkuleistung – für mich eine klare Empfehlung.

There is nothing worse than getting excited for a barbeque only to end up serving a dry meat.I’ve always been wary of not over cooking the meat but at the same time I did want to make sure that it is cooked properly so we don’t end up falling in the other extreme of serving it undercooked, although at first it might seem like it is just very juicy and risk potential health issues. Best example for this is cooking chicken breast which if you cook it a bit too long it will be too dry but there is a risk of leaving it partially uncooked as well.With this meat thermostat, I eliminate the guessing from this process.You can use it in different ways, by inserting the probe repeatedly and taking regular temperature checks but most convenient way is to insert the probe in the meat and leave it until it reaches the desired temperature. This of course depends if you have multiple pieces or just one big piece, or if the cuts are similar sizes, you can insert the thermometer in one piece and turn all of them when the time comes.The thermostat is quite ingenious and it can take multiple temperature readings at the same time, like ambient and meet temperature, while having the temperature it is set at as a target.These readings can be read with the app that comes with but are also displayed on the wooden holder which I find to be more convenient. It’s getting a bit annoying to have the phone around me all the time when using different devices.The display on the holder is bright, clear and easy to read.It feels of good quality and can be used and any oven type or barbeque. Very handy to have.

I have been using a similar type of insertion thermometer for a couple of years now, and more recently I have experienced challenges with it syncing to the app which is necessary for you as the “controller” for it to work.But, this BBQOVN Wireless Meat Thermometer is a game changer! The first point I noticed when thinking of ordering the was the LED display on the thermometer holder.I downloaded the app which worked very well. My other unit used Bluetooth rather than wifi which may be why this unit performs so much better, as this also uses Bluetooth.In the pictures you can see the thermometer inserted into the centre of the meat up to the “end black portion” of the thermometer to gain an accurate internal temp whereas the exposed end measures the ambient temp in the oven which is extremely accurate (I checked).My intention was to cook to an internal temp of 135F in a 225F oven, and then reverse sear. You can see in the pictures it was spectacular…perfectly medium rare and absolutely incredible sirloin tip roast – and tender enough to cut with a spoon. The unit beeped when complete and as I had messed up the app usage while in the oven, I relied on the sound rather than the app notifying me. Regardless, this is an exceptional thermometer casing. The LED display is far better than anything I have used in the past; easy to use and accurate. An absolute game changer. To top it off, and equally as impressive is that this unit is completely rechargeable unlike my other thermometer which takes batteries.Lastly, normally I do not comment on packaging but in this case, if you look at the pictures, you will see that the unit actually comes with gift paper and a ribbon for presenting as a gift – these folks have thought of everything!

I am a hopeless barbecuer and am always terrified that my too pink or too burned offerings will upset my guests. A friend recently sent me a barbecue with a fan in its base which has improved things but it strikes me that a little science might also help me to up my game. Enter this fabulous wireless thermometer.It comes nicely packed with a box within a box. it also has a ribbon and wrapping paper in case one is gifting it. The assembly itself is in a bamboo-style casing which houses the display and controls and of course the probe itself. Both are charged simultaneously and also fairly quickly via the USB-C lead supplied.The bamboo housing has a bright and clear display that is also easy to understand. A summer’s day will not cause it to become unreadable and the casing also has magnetic pads on the back so that you can attach it, should you so wish, to your BBQ. The bamboo housing has rudimentary controls such as set temperature and choice of units as well as the basic on/off control and battery health indicators for the main housing and the probe. More sophisticated control is available via the App and more information such as the ideal core temperature of different cooked meats and so on.For sure this is an easy yet navigable way to raise one’s barbecue game and I am hoping that by next spring/summer, my guests will not feel as if they a re about to take their lives into their hands by accepting an invitation . Many thanks
