Predictive Thermometer

Predictive Thermometer (2nd Generation)

The 2nd-generation Combustion Predictive Thermometer uses an evenly spaced array of 8 sensors to give you Total Temperature Awareness of everything happening inside and around your food. The processing happens onboard: it finds the coldest part of yo

Setup Guide: Predictive Thermometer

Your Predictive Thermometer needs about half an hour of setup before its first cook, most of which is charging. Do these in order. You will also need the free Combustion app (free on iOS and Android), and optionally a Display, Booster, or Giant Grill

How It Works: Predictive Thermometer

Your thermometer works in two modes, and it switches between them on its own depending on whether you have set a target temperature. This is the default. Take the thermometer out of its charger or Booster and it wakes up in instant read, reporting th

Predictive Thermometer Basics

The Predictive Thermometer (CPT) has 8 sensors. Most wireless thermometers only have one or two. “Extra” sensors let the CPT find the lowest internal temperature (TrueCore™) even if you missed the mark.And they show you all the temperatures from the

Charging / Battery Life: Predictive Thermometer

Put the thermometer in its charging cradle, or in a Booster. The cradle is included; a USB cable and power adapter are not, so use your own USB-C cable and any standard 5V USB port. A full charge takes about 25 minutes. Even five minutes gets you eno

Warnings and Watchouts

Your Predictive Thermometer is built to live in an oven, on a grill, and in the dishwasher. A few things will still damage it, and most of them are avoidable once you know about them. The thermometer has two zones with very different tolerances. The

What is the max operating temperature?

The thermometer has two zones with very different tolerances, and the minimum insertion line is the boundary between them. Always insert to at least the minimum line, about 2 inches (50 mm). It is clearly marked on the thermometer. Two things worth k

Is it totally waterproof?

Yes, and how waterproof depends on which generation you have. Either way, the seal that keeps water out also keeps out cooking oil, drippings, and marinade. You can spray it down in the sink, run it under the tap, or put it in the dishwasher. Hand-wa

Sensors and Accuracy

Each Predictive Thermometer carries eight sensors along its length: precision high-temperature thermistors and IC temperature sensors. They are not all built for the same job:. That split is deliberate. The tip needs precision because it decides when

Do I need to calibrate my Predictive Thermometer?

No. The sensors are zero-calibration parts, so there is no calibration step for you to perform, and every thermometer is checked during manufacturing. If you want to check it yourself, an ice water bath is the simple test:. All submerged sensors shou
