What’s the wireless range?Updated 8 months ago

It depends. 

All wireless products list “unobstructed range” so that’s what we tested – and that’s what we list on the site. 

In a wide-open space with no obstructions and clear line-of-sight, our Bluetooth signals will travel 330ft (100m) or more.

When the thermometer is locked inside a smoker, or if you live in a solid concrete building, the signals don’t go as far. 

In practice, we consistently get at least 60 feet away (20m) with no issues.  

The Range-Extending tools (Combustion Display or Booster) were designed to help out by listening to nearby thermometers and then repeating their signal.

So you add their range to the thermometer’s range, minus the radio obstacles, and there you have it.* 

Best of all, these tools can also be used with each other to repeat the same signal for even more signal strength (read about MeatNet™ below).

Every Combustion tool works with every other Combustion tool. 

TLDR: if you’re concerned about radio obstacles or range, add a Range-Extending Booster or Display.

All Combustion tools use the newest Bluetooth technology: BLE 5.4 (and are compatible with Coded PHY/Bluetooth Long Range, if and when a phone supports it).  

BTW, the thermometer automatically logs all the data in its onboard memory (yes, there’s a tiny computer in there).

So even if you occasionally lose signal, you don’t ever lose track of where you are in the cook!
