Opening the box, everything seemed in great shape. I did not read the instructions at first and I was able to figure out the thermometer with no issues. I downloaded the app and it paired to bluetooth the first attempt.
First cook I did was chicken breasts on my Green Mountain Grill. There were 6 breasts so I used all 5 meat probes along with the ambient temperature probe. The ambient temperature probe held steady within +-15 degrees I set my grill so no surprises there. What did surprise me was the hot spots on my grill apparently cooking the breasts at much different temperatures.
My chicken was ranging from 115-145 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes sense because before having the bluetooth thermometer I would simply spot check and pull all breasts around 160-165. Some would be dry while others would be moist. The temperature probes helped me confirm my suspicions that the grill had hot spots all along the perimeter of the grill grates.
Since the initial test, I have used the thermometer extensively with many kinds of meat. Tested the temperature with a 3rd party instant read and it was usually spot on accurate. Sometimes it would read way high but I think I was putting the probe where it gets direct heat from the grill. A little adjustment cleared it right up.
Testing the range of the Bluetooth connection, I monitored the app from every room in my house with no issues. I even walked outside the front door and all the way to the street, well past the 150 ft recommendation and a whole house blocking the radio frequency. Still monitored the temps just fine.
The app is pretty basic but very easy to use. The only con that I could find is it disconnects from bluetooth after so many minutes of screen lock. I really don't think that is Inkbird's fault, I think that is a limitation with iOS.
Battery life is exceptional. When I received the device, it registered 19% charge. I did not charge the device and accidentally left it on overnight. The next day I ran it again for a longer cook and by the end, it still had 12% charge. I continued using for 3 more cooks before I accidentally left it on again and finally drained the battery. Charged it up using the provided USB cable and continued use.
I planned on purchasing a much more expensive brand but decided to go with Inkbird due to their reputation among my BBQ forums. I am very satisfied with my purchase and would buy again.

The wireless Bluetooth BBQ smart sensor you are looking for!!!!
I bought this BBQ smart wireless bluetooth thermometer to monitor cooking temps of steals and other meats on my infrared Charbroil grill. As a resident of the southwest the outside temps can be 100 degrees plus....so if I can avoid having to stand outside in the heat and monitor my cooking temps from inside the comfort of my home all the better. This wireless Bluetooth thermometer has an internal rechargeable battery. It can also monitor up to 6 different temps. It can also function as a timer as well. I definitely wouldn’t say I’m an expert at the grill, but this new tool will help me ensure my meats are cooked to a level of perfection that I can set and monitor. The probes are about 4 ft long and hook into the smart sensor. You then just hook up your phone (via the BBQ GO app) to the smart sensor. The instructions are pretty straight forward. There is only one button on the unit to navigate the menus and feature so moving between features can be difficult at times so make sure you have the manual handy. Overall I would recommend this to the backyard BBQ warriors looking to up their BBQ game!

This is a review of the Inkbird IBT-6XS bluetooth meat thermometer with a built-in 1000mAh rechargeable lithium battery.
I have been using the thermometer for a while now on my kamado. The thermometer and the app are solid and I have nor had any issues so far. The Bluetooth range is great and once you get started with the app it's easy to setup and use I have done about five separate cooks with the thermometer and still have plenty of charge so I don't have any doubt about long cooks such as smoking a brisket overnight.
The included 6 probes are an improvement over previous models and I like the metal cap protecting the wires. The probes have a temperature range betweene 32F to 572F. To be honest I think 6 probes are way too many for any cook unless you have a big offset smoker.
One thing I would improve on is the magnet on the thermometer. It's not as strong of a magnet as I would hoped.
The thermometer display also rotates based on the orientation which is a plus.
The thermometer comes with 5 meat probes and 1 ambient temperature probe as you see in the pictures below.
