Accurate Temp Measurements, Weak LED Display
I have been using the Inkbird wireless thermometer for over a month now on my smoker. It works well and seems to be fairly accurate. My only complaint is with the monitor’s LED display. It is dim and is barely readable outdoors in the shade, it is completely unreadable in direct sunlight. Luckily, my smoker is shaded under my patio cover. The Inkbird uses a generic mobile phone app called easyBBQ, that is used by many wireless thermometer vendors. The app works well but I wish it was more adjustable. The temperature alert and unplugged probe cable alarm sounds are annoying and can not be changed, only turned on or off. The Inkbird is better than some other wireless thermometers I have tried, but falls short due to the weak LED display. I rely more on my phone’s display than I do the monitor, so I am still happy with it.
Update: Inkbird contacted me after I posted my initial review and offered to send me a replacement system. While I appreciate their kind gesture, the replacement monitor unfortunately was no brighter than my original one. I increased my review from 3 stars to 4, since they did their best to make things right.
