Is there anyone from a prior drop that can post a review? I'm particularly interested in anyone using it with their smoker. I'm after the dual probe version so I can keep track of smoker temp and meat temp.

HeeftyAnd also, why is this posted in tech instead of cooking since it's a cooking accessory? I suppose that should be the first clue as to the quality of the product. My observation of listings on Massdrop has been that things that are too awful to survive the scrutiny of a particular community but have bluetooth or wifi capability end up in Tech. Is that the case here?

HeeftyI used it a couple of times when I got mine from the last drop. Accuracy is off by maybe 5 degrees.
I had no issue connecting it to my phone(Pixel) HOWEVER, one of the sensors completely stopped working the first day. Managing the cables and stuff during grilling is also a pain.

HeeftyI got the L a year or so ago. TLDR, don't buy.
Bluetooth range was about 4' (had to leave my phone right next to a window next to the grill.)
Software (Android) didn't have a 'done' button. Basically could only snooze the temp reached alarm as well as out of range alarms (which you would get if you turned off the thermometer.) Also no way to exit the app other than force close.
Difficult to shut the thermometer off. Required pressing and holding the button, hard for several seconds. Did not time out and go to sleep if you didn't shut it off, and the battery life (not rechargeable,) was probably about a week if left on.
Mine died after 9 months or so. I may have left it out in the rain for a little bit the last time it worked, but it wasn't pouring out.
Never tried to measure accuracy. It was plenty accurate enough for me to get more consistent results with chicken and steak than just using a timer.
