Is there something beside the Maverick ET-732

I still use my original igrill I got when they first came out. Never have had a problem. Set my iPad on my entertainment center under the tv so I can watch the game and monitor pit at same time. It's great.

I started with the cheapo Maverick and it worked just ok. Got a iGrill 2 last year and it's quite good if you have an iPad or iPhone. The transmitter can accommodate up to 4 probes, so you can do one in the flat, one in the point, one in the butt and a grate probe. The app shows you a graph of your temps along a timeline. (When did I last mop the butt? Oh, here I see that I last opened the lid at 3:54.)

I like it a lot for overnight cooks. I can wake up in the morning and check the graph and see just what the pit and meat temps at any time during the night. The key is to leave your iPad or iPhone plugged in overnight and the app open.

It is subject to the range of bluetooth, which will vary considerably due to placement of your pit and iPad. All in all, a good unit.

The Igrill also works with Android. Google Play has an app for it and the Thermowork's site has been updated to reflect it also works with Android. Actually, after some research the other day, I'm leaning towards Themoworks. they have a kit, very pricey for the BBQ. It does not have any connectivity, bluetooth, wifi or radio, but I can live without them since I always cook with my DigiQ.

Funny thing, same day I posted above about not wanting your frustrations. My wife bought me a Igrill for my Birthday.
Thank you Dear!

Dave:

Very funny. From what I hear, the iGrill works pretty good. The only drawback is now you have something extra to wash when the cook is finished.
