What’s the wireless range, really? How are you getting 1000ft?Updated 8 months ago

In wide-open space with unobstructed line-of-sight Combustion’s Bluetooth signals will travel 330 feet (100m) or more. Per hop!

Each Combustion tool works as a repeater node in our proprietary self-organizing MeatNet™ mesh network.

Each time it repeats, that signal strength is renewed.

In theory, MeatNet supports up to 16 hops! That’s literally one mile of signal strength. 

What’s the catch?

In real-world cooking, you’re almost always going to be dealing with some obstructions.

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

This is a huge problem for our main competitor, and we worked very hard to avoid the same foibles. 

Predictive Thermometer users routinely can get 60 feet away (20m) in real conditions with no drops, and that’s without a range-extender. 

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

We’re the only wireless thermometer with this kind of mesh network and it makes a huge difference in actual cooking conditions. Especially smoking and grilling. 

BTW, just to be safe, the Predictive Thermometer logs and stores all the data from a live cook.

If you wander out of range (or have solar flares or something) you get all the data as soon as you wander back.

No interruptions. No fussy re-connection.

It’s like you never left.
