MeatNet Cloud: InstructionsUpdated 4 months ago

First, you’ll need a Combustion account.

This is so we can keep your cook data private (and so you can retrieve it later when our library feature is released!). See below for set-up instructions or go to the “get started” page. 

You’ll also need to “link” your thermometer to that account (it’s so simple that people often do it by accident - no kidding! There’s also a walkthrough below). 

Link app to thermometer

1. Install/update the Combustion app on one (or more) mobile devices
2. Follow in-app instructions for linking Predictive Thermometers (CPTs) to your account

• Look for the “link this device” button
• Follow the instructions to link
• Link all of your CPTs to your device

Set up your MeatNet™ Cloud account

1. In the app, tap the Combustion logo (looks like a campfire)
2. Tap "Combustion Account"
3. You can sign in with email (+password), Google ID, or Apple ID* (*on Apple/iOS devices only)
4. Once you’ve set up your Cloud account, the list of “linked” CPTs gets synched to any mobile device using that account

Why do I need an account?

See above. We want to save your cook history - for YOU. So you can look at your cooking data and learn; fine-tune that recipe, track your pork butt progress, and all that wonderful stuff. Don’t panic - it’s one and done, with no obligation, no ads, no lists, and none of that nonsense. It’s to put an ID on your data for your own convenience. Kind of like having a library card. 

Set up your WiFi tool(s)

NOTE: the "get started" page has instructions for this that include pictures! FYI.

1. Prerequisite set-up
Before you do Wifi, do this:

• Update or download the Combustion app (iOS)(Android)
• Make sure to update firmware for all WiFi tools
• Make sure all WiFi tools are charged

For WiFi Boosters:

With the Combustion app open, remove the thermometer from the Booster, and turn the Booster on. Make sure your Booster is blinking a single white blink.

For WiFi Displays:

With the Combustion app open, turn on your Display and remove your thermometer from its charger. Make sure the Display is showing the thermometer’s temperature.

2. Open Combustion mobile app settings and navigate to 'WiFi Devices'

3. Select the tool you’d like to join to WiFi, then select Join Network.

4. Select your desired WiFi network and enter your network credentials.

--> If your network is unlisted, select ‘Other...’ from the network list to join it manually.

5. Joining is complete when the device displays its signal strength.

Or use a second mobile device (1st-gen users)

If you don't have a Combustion WiFi tool, you can still use MeatNet Cloud. You can use another mobile device as the bridge-to-the-internet instead.

1. Install/update the app on both devices ("home" and "away").
2. Sign in to your Combustion account on each.
3. Cook with the CPT as you normally would.
4. Leave your “home” mobile device in Bluetooth range AND connected to the internet (via WiFi or 5G or whatever) -- it will stream data to MeatNet Cloud.
5. View that live cook data using your other (away) device!
