Excellent video! Thank you for the non sponsored, unbiased video comparing these three thermometers. RUclips never seems to disappoint with content, but the problem now days is that its all sponsored and paid content which is exactly why your video review is truly so valuable to me (and likely other consumers too). Thank you again, and take care!
Thanks for Watching Dustin!
Thanks for your honest review! Your RUclips channel is best out there!!
Thanks for Watching Frank! I appreciate you Watching!
Wow, thank you for the very impressive video and demo of the MeatStick X! I would love to have one for my impending BBQ efforts, with a variety of different meats.
Thanks for Watching Marvin!
Thx Tom! Been waiting for this review 😀🥩
Thank you Eric! I appreciate you Watching!
Glad to see that outcome. I ordered the Meater Plus a few days ago and received it today.
Thanks for Watching Patricia! Congrats!
Thanks for the comparison Tom. Been looking at getting one.
Thanks for Watching Kent!
I have had the basic Meater and the Meater block for over a year and they work phenomenal. My original basic Meater stoped working after abusing it for a year-and-a-half, so I called the company and even though I was out of warranty they sent me a brand-new replacement for free. I also wanted to mention that the ambient temperature of the Meater is greatly affected by the temperature of the meat you are cooking, as the meat warms up the ambient temperature becomes much closer to the true ambient temperature of the grill. If you would place any other thermometer quarter inch away from cold meat you would see that the temperature they showed would also be lower than the real ambient temperature of the grill. So you have to take that ambient temperature reading with a grain of salt.
Thanks for Watching! Appreciate the feedback
We just bought the Meater, waiting for it arrive. I feel even better after watching this review that we made the right choice. Couldn't resist the Father's Day sale pull with free shipping! We're currently using wired leave-in thermometers that used to do well, but have been inconsistent for a few months now. With the cost of meat being so high and having a big meat eater to feed, I can't stand overcooking a pork roast because I'm not getting correct reads and I also don't want to make anyone sick. We've managed to find really well-priced loins at Costco and can get 3 roasts out of one loin, so there's a lot of pork happening over here! I'm so excited to use the Meater, hopefully tonight is my last night with the blasted wires. Thank you for a really thorough review!
Thanks for watching Alissa! Appreciate the feedback
never let work get in the way of a good, hot slider! Well done sir...
Thanks for Watching!
Tom
Great review, been waiting for it.
I think none of them are really there yet.
I will wait for better technology on them.
I'll still use wired.
THANKS.
Thanks for Watching David!
Great review Tom. The 2 applications any of these win in are a rotisserie or inside a basket air fryer. I have to imagine they will work in the air fryer seeing as the signal gets through the walls of the Z Grill.
Thanks for Watching Ted! Yes I agree, I should try it out though
Every day with a Tom Horsman upload is a good day!
Thanks for Watching! Appreciate the support!
Good one Tom! I have had the Meater from the beginning and just got The MeatStick and will be putting it to the test this weekend!
Thanks for Watching! Have Fun!
So what were the results beers?
@@chadwallace3598 We actually did a comparison on our channel. At the time we did that, I liked the software and connection with Meater, but I did like that the MeatStick was rated a little better for waterproofing. Since then I did get the Meater Block and that has become my go to for most cooks.
Been using the Meater + for over a year now and have done several cooks with it including Brisket, Pork butts, Tri Tips, Dino beef ribs and whole chickens. All cooks came out great. Have even used it in the inside kitchen oven on Pot Roast, Shoulder Roast and Chuck roast. Worked flawlessly every time. I have enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks for Watching Thomas! Appreciate the feedback
Awesome review Tom 👌👌👌
Thanks for Watching!
I loved my original MEATER but wanted more range so when MEATER PLUS went on sale at Amazon I went for it. Two complaints one for the plus model is that there’s no extended range. Same as the original. The complaint for both is that they measure I.T. Very well but at the end of the cook they both keep adding time and that usually winds up with an overcooked meal. I usually just insert an electronic instant read meat probe to figure out when to pull.
Thanks for watching Jim! Appreciate the feedback
nice real time comparison. I like the meat stick with “suggested pull temp”
Thanks for watching Louis! It is nice! Just stay away from the Yummly
Great review Tom. I’d probably choose The Meater too.
Thanks for Watching! Appreciate the feedback!
I own a Yummly, it works fine…the issue you were having with ambient temp was within the app. It takes a while to calculate ambient temp. It is an issue that they need to fix. Just leave the app open for a minute or two and it’s good.
Thanks for Watching!
I've had fairly good luck with my Meater+. Not perfect, but I always back it up with my Thermopen.
Thanks for Watching Jon! Appreciate the feedback!
AWESOME video Tom. I have the Meater+ and have yet to get it to work. Granted, it's prolly something on my end im doing wrong. It just keeps losing connection. Great vid.
Thanks for watching Tommy! It does take sometime to figure out.
@dan wright I wish I could get them to work. Ive tried this one and themeat stick. No go.
I just ordered a rotisserie. Can't use a wired probe for that! I'd love to see a follow up on the Meater and MeatStick. I have heard of longevity/connection issues with these as they age.
Thanks for watching Todd! I’ve not heard of the longevity issues
I have two meater+ probes and find that the ambient temp is affected by the meat temp. The ambient temp is more than 30+ degrees low until the cook is almost done. Not much help using a Weber and SNS insert to set the grill temp.
Thanks for Watching! I appreciate the feedback
Nice video. Love my Meater+
Thanks for watching Chuck!
nice will try my meater next week if it works lick one you tested should enjoy it
Thanks for Watching Howard!
Wow I don’t regret buying meater block….I agree if the test went like the video presented….Meat Stick could be beat with a stick but it probably would still return doing a good job.
Thanks for Watching Jack!
One question I never see answered in the reviews but is very relevant to me; Is it also possible with the Meatstick X to use a phone to setup a wifi bridge and monitor your cook from the cloud? This is possible for meater but I cant find anything on ot for the Meatstick except for their pricey Wifi-bridge product.
Thanks for Watching! That’s a good question… I’ve been told that it is doable by meatstick, however I’ve not been able to make it work
Looks like it was not inserted in the meat as it is supposed to be, The ambient temp only shows after you insert it in the meat as the instructions on their site say. My yummly worked great after I followed the instructions. I use the IPhone app.
Fantastic comparison, I’m leaning towards the Meater plus. Has your opinion changed at all since making the video?
Thanks for watching! Nope
On that Z Grill, how is the smoke flavor? I had a Pit Boss but the smoke was so lite that I sold it and got a XD Grand Champ stick burner. It smokes the food great but I wouldn't mind a set and forget system sometimes either.
Thanks for Watching Blaine! All pellet grills are light to medium smoke profile
Hey Tom, have you heard of a new brand wireless thermometer called Chef IQ? I like that the diameter is much thinner and seems to be comparable with all of the big names on the market.
Thanks for Watching Duke! Haven’t seen or heard of it yet. Thanks for the info
So I have a theory about the ambient temp. What if it's reading low because of it's proximity to cooler meat? As the meat warms up, the difference would continue to get less and less. Just a thought. I have a new MeatStick and I gotta say, it's performing ng flawlessly
Thanks for watching! Yes you are correct
Been searching for a wireless therm for a couple weeks now. I think I have decided to ditch it for something with cords based on all the reviews lol.
Thanks for Watching!
Hi Tom, great review.
Just a quick question: for both the Meater + and the Meatstick you need an extra bridge to connect it to wifi right?
Or else, how can the Meatstick be connected to wifi with the Xtender set without the bridge?
Thanks for watching! You are correct, the Meater uses another device and the Meatstick uses a bridge
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Hi, I just received my Meatstick. I found out that past cooks are not synced in the Meatstick cloud and by ending a cook on one device it will not automatically end it on the other, like you would expect.
Do you have the same experience?
Both devices use the same account...
Maybe I'm just doing it wrong ...
Thanks for Watching! Had issues myself with the bridge connection, sounds like you got further than I did, they claim that they have an update coming soon
Is there any video or example of the probe alerts in action? I want to see/hear how loud they are.
Thanks for watching Dave! It through your phone so you have the ability to adjust the volume
Can you review the Chef IQ cordless thermometer?
Thanks
Thanks for Watching Kevin! Haven’t seen or heard of it
I just bought a Meater plus and it was consistent 15-20 degrees off
I reached out to the company providing a comprehensive submission
The stated they were busy and drop all submissions
So sorry I bought this after a waste of money
Thanks for watching Bob! Sorry to hear that
I got the Mr yumly for 40 bucks it works fine
Thanks for Watching! Good to know
Mr. Yummly sounds like a high school science teacher from the 1960s.
Thanks for watching William! Lol
Nice
Thanks for watching
Wait, the thermometer refused to work without a software update? Hard pass on that. Glad i watched this.
Thanks for Watching! Yes
I'm assuming none of these would work for chicken pieces, steaks, burgers, or even a whole turkey if the probes have to be inserted that far into the meat.
Thanks for Watching Henry! Turkey would work
Going with the Meater after this video
Thanks for watching Travis! If the three, it is the best
how many smokers do you own? how are they so clean? my mind is blown!
Thanks for watching Andrew! Too many! I clean after every cook
Had 2 meater probes breaking within the first year, both ambient sensors (the black end) detached and broke off, then the block stopped charging the remaining probes. Always took very good care of them and never overheating them. Rubbish product quality and 400 usd I'll never see again.
Thanks for Watching! Appreciate the feedback
How about "Chef IQ"? I just bought one and tested it in an ice bath at 36 F... Not sure how much I can trust it..
Thanks for watching! Haven’t tested that one
How do you know the Thermometers were out and not your BBQ?
Thanks for Watching John! Have tested the grill before and it was accurate
The meater
Thanks for Watching Nicholas!
I wouldn’t get the meat stick because of the name alone.
Thanks for Watching!
Update the yummly
Thanks for Watching! I’ve tried…
I wish I could get off their stupid Email list! I get Emails from these mutts every freaking day, this company is really irritating!
Thanks for watching!
Tom, I used "Mr. Yummly" in one side of our whole turkey breast yesterday and Thermoworks Smoke probe in the other side. Also, used Thermoworks Smoke ambient probe mounted in the center of the warming rack of my Weber Genesis gasser. It took about 20 minutes for the Yummly ambient to read. I only used the outer front burner and the bird was positioned on a beer can chicken rack for balance (no beer - it was consumed). The breast closer to the burner had the Yummly internal probe and it ran consistently about 20 degree higher than the backside Thermoworks temp. Probably since it was closer the actual heat source. The Yummly ambient probe ran about 40 degrees higher than the Thermoworks ambient probe. For the last hour, I rotated the rack so that the Thermoworks breast side was facing the front burner. The temps for each probe seem to reflect the change. The Thermoworks side temps compared favorably with my Thermoworks Thermo pen but not so with the Yummly side. The Thermoworks ambient probe compared favorably to the Weber lid thermometer. So, final comments: for me, I will take the Thermoworks Smoke reliability any day over "Mr. Yummly". The best I can say about it is "so-so".
Thanks for Watching Tom! Appreciate the feedback!
I had the same problem with the Yummly ambient temp................rarely use it now.
Thanks for Watching Tom! Appreciate the feedback
Way the go MEATER Plus. 🎉🎉🎉 Got mine
Thanks for Watching! Congrats
