What can I do to get a better Bluetooth signal?

Line of sight (LOS) is always important.	The fewer obstacles between the Predictive Thermometer and the Display (or mobile device), the better. The same is true for when the Combustion Display is acting as a repeater: try to get the clearest possible LOS between the display and your mobile device.
Kickstand position for the display is best.	By keeping the display vertical, you maximize the functional length of the internal antenna. Especially when sitting on a stainless-steel counter (those can partially block the signal).
Thermometer handle facing out	You can improve signal strength by keeping the thermometer on the side of the food closest to the oven door when practical. That way the signal doesn’t need to travel through the food (another bag of water).
Escape hatch	In situations where direct LOS is not possible - like an enclosed smoker - the signal can get out through openings such as large-ish vent holes. A rule of thumb is, if light can get out (or in), the signal can too. (The exception being mesh screens on microwaves or trivection ovens - those are impervious). With the vents on your grill closed tight, the signal is just going to bounce around inside.
Keep clear from metal	Keep the handle of the thermometer to be as far away from metal as practical. The handle touching metal will reduce the signal. Ideally, try to keep the handle clear of any metal surface by an inch or two. Same goes for foil.
Don’t stand between the antennas	It usually won’t make a difference but if you already have a compromised signal, keep your body out of the line of sight. Humans are mostly big bags of water, and water absorbs the energy from radio waves.
