I ordered the TempSpike when it was released and have had an excellent experience with it. Connectivity is great, I have had no issues with it. It has also worked very reliably, holding consistent temp readings and providing rapid feedback if I have variations occur. Battery life has also been really good for me, I have charged the dock twice since I bought it and I cook out three to five times per week.

I’m a chef so I have to say. The MEATER wasn’t pushed in as far and you had both of them poked through a thick layer of fat, you actually would want to poke through the flat side of the meatier part away from fat to get a proper read, fat will render down and get very hot which can give you an improper read for thermometers, that’s why you had different reads for all 3 thermometers because of the fat.

Great video, thanks. One comment . . . when removing the thermometer, you don't want to twist it first, as you can twist the head off of the probe (at least with the Meater). Rather, push the probe into the meat a bit more to break that "seal, " then you can pull it out.

Thanks for taking the time to do a great, educational comparison on the meat probes!! Prime rib roast was beautiful!! Thanks again!!

[waynethebarber]

I love my TempSpike!!! I have 2 that I ues at the same time... works great!! I am a home cook so I don't need the net... Thanks for showing how to change the sound too....

Just got a TempSpike for Christmas. Looking forward to trying it out.

Brilliant review! I'll be following more of your content 👍

With the Tempspike i like that you can set an alarm for a pre temp before hitting the final temp. This will be useful for a reverse sear / smoke where you only want to partially cook a steak to 115F to finish off with a sear. I don't see that feature in the Meater + which only gives you a pre alarm set by time & not temp. In that case you would have to edit the final cook temp setting under Rare & lower it to 115F.

Meater block, 4 probes, is awesome. Been using it for around three years.

I just ordered a MEATER + and I'm expecting delivery within a couple of days. I had never heard of the TempSpike and that one looks like good value. I'd rate the interface slightly better than MEATER. I liked your testing of the temperature accuracy and I see that TempSpike was more accurate. That's not a huge issue for me, as long as there is a consistency in the temperature measurement. If the measurement is consistently 5 or 10 degrees off, I can allow for that.

Thanks for posting.

I bought a MeatSpike through Lowe's because it was cheaper and available right away. I love it. I can keep an eye on my smoker for temp and don't have to go outside in the blazing Florida sun to check it every 15 minutes. Plus the temps have been spot on for me. I have a range of about 80 feet with the probe in the closed smoker and the booster inside the house. So I can actually go to my mailbox at the end of my driveway and not lose connectivity. I never tried the Meater because I just thought it was too much to pay, but my MeatSpike has been the bomb and everything comes out perfect. And yes, I use an instant read as well, but it's usually within a few degrees.

I lost all faith in my Meater + after a few months and a few temps that were way off. This was a nice review, if I want another wireless probe, might look into the TempSpike (will watch more videos to see how it holds up). Thanks!

I was just starting to look at wireless thermometers. This video has been very helpful.

[firstsummit]

Great review (and better than most) - product in use, app in use, comparison against the competition/champion. Thanks.

[tknave]

16:55 A question about accuracy. TempSpike and Thermopro are the same company, vs the Meater. Is there 18:39 a calibration test with a third party thermometer? The old boiling water technique is tricky since both have a ceiling of 212 degrees. Either way I really like the TempSpike, the meater always drop signal. I will try your hack for having a second device.

Thanks for the video!

I bought the Chef IQ and just love it!

[wakeywarrior]

The Meater+ ambient temp knackers up after so many cooks, mine is now 30 degrees off, and the end also comes off as it’s held on with glue which melts eventually even on low and slow cooking and not being exposed to hot temps.
Shame you didn’t test the ambient (or did I miss that?)

[davidcarter]

I don’t have a grill because I live in apartment. So I would love to see you test in an oven. I bought a BFOUR BF-40 and had to send it back because it wasn’t great at connecting the probes to my base or the Bluetooth phone app. It only connected about 50% of the time and the second probe worked a little better than the first probe. So now I am figuring witch wireless thermometer I should replace it with!

[darrellring]

Perfect video and thanks for the discount on the probe!
