I use this primarily with a small Traeger smoker and have cooked turkey, tri-tip, brisket, pulled pork, and ribs using this device. Each time the device was accurate and produced delicious results. My only complaint about this product is the multiple notifications to my phone and via the speaker on the case about it losing connection. The smoker is about 5 feet beyond my glass doors to the back yard, the speaker case is sitting on a table a few inches from those glass doors, the ISP gateway is 3 feet from that, and my phone is on a counter in the kitchen within a few feet of that. Every time I use the device I receive roughly 2-6 notifications about disconnections and then within a few seconds to a minute it is reconnected again, so distance as interference shouldn't be a factor. I did notice that if the probe is wrapped in foil with the meat then I lose connection all together, so I have to tear a small hole in the foil so the probe sticks out. It would be nice if the app had an option to increase the time-out threshold from the probe (to say 1 minute), so that the frequent disconnect messages would stop since they generally resolve themselves in a few seconds. Other than that, the phone app is easy to use based on if you're making a recipe or going by the cut of the meat, and also accounts for meat resting time during the cooking process. The estimates of time left can vary in accuracy when I use it on the smoker, but the temperatures appear to be spot on and alerts appropriately when the required temperature is reached.
