Note
Use a soft cloth to clean the iGrill 3. Do not use any chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Probe Use

  • Pro Meat Probes should always be inserted into the thickest, center part of the item being cooked for an accurate temperature reading.
  • When using the Pro Meat Probes that are included with the iGrill 3, be sure to route the probe wire through the slot on the side of the cook box where it will not be exposed to flames or temperatures exceeding 716°F (380°C). Probes should avoid temperatures below – 58°F (-50°C).
  • The Pro Ambient Probe, also sold separately, should be clipped between two grates inside your grill, smoker, or oven. Ensure the tip of the probe does not touch the grates. Also, be sure to route the probe wire where it will not be exposed to flames or temperatures exceeding 716°F (380°C), and avoid temperatures below -58°F (-50°C).
  • The Probe Wraps included with your iGrill 3 allow for convenient storage of your probes when not in use.

Note:

  • The colored probe indicators are for visual identification of the probe(s) within the app and for cosmetic purposes only. They are not designed for heat safety.
  • The probes should be cleaned by wiping them down with a damp towel or sanitary wipe. The probes are not dishwasher safe. Take precautions, making sure to not get the wiring of the probes wet as well as the area where the probes’ wiring meets the probe.
  • The probes are not waterproof and damage may result from water exposure. Never submerge your probes in water.
  • Temperatures below -22°F or above 572°F (-30ºC or above 300ºC) will not display in the Weber iGrill App and will cause the probe to disappear from a connection.

Probe Wrap Use
To wrap your probe(s):

  • Hold the probe wrap so that the clip segment is on the bottom left and the logo is legible in the center of the probe wrap.
  • Snap the probe into the probe wrap’s clip, ensuring that the probe’s body follows the contour of the probe wrap and leaves a ½ inch gap between the probe and the wire channel of the probe wrap. The tip of the probe should be pointed downward.
  • Wrap your probe’s wire clockwise around the probe wrap.
  • When you reach the adapter end of the probe wire, it can be inserted into the probe wrap’s wire channel to secure the wrapping.

The display of the iGrill 3 contains the following:

Bluetooth® LED

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any major functional differences between iGrill 2 and iGrill 3? Is it just what specific grills they're compatible with?

The iGrill 2 and iGrill 3 are virtually the same unit with the exception that the iGrill 2 can act as a standalone accessory whereas the iGrill 3 is only compatible with the Genesis II and Genesis II LX grills. If you do not own a Genesis II/LX grill, we recommend checking out the iGrill 2.

Does it connect with Alexa?

Hello! At this time the iGrill units are not compatible with Alexa, however, we're more than happy to pass this along to our team as a suggestion!

Is the Igrill 3 weather proof while using it?

The iGrill 3 is weatherproof and is meant to live and be used outdoors. Please make sure to protect the probe ports of your iGrill 3 by folding up the cover after use. Of course, we recommend using a grill cover once your cook is complete to protect your grill from the elements.

Does the app take into account the fact that cooking continues after removing food from the grill?

No, the app does not. We recommend removing your food from the grill a few degrees before hitting your desired internal temperature.

The Ambient probe for the igrill 2 works on the igrill 3?

That is correct, our Ambient and Meat probes are compatible with all our iGrill devices as well as the Weber Connect Hub.

Is the probe washable?

The probes should be cleaned by wiping them down with a damp towel or sanitary wipe. The probes are not dishwasher safe. Take precautions, making sure to not get the wiring of the probes wet as well as the area where the probes’ wiring meets the probe.

Does this replace the propane gauge on the summit 670 also like it does on the genesis II can it be installed in that location?

The iGrill 3 only mounts into our Genesis II and Spirit II grills at this time. For the Summit 670, I would look into the iGrill 2 as it possesses many of the same features as the iGrill 3 but is a universal thermometer that can be used with any grill/smoker/cooker without the need to be mounted.

Does this come with the battery?

The batteries are included with the purchase of the iGrill 3.

Will the audible alarms sound after my phone's screen turns off?

Yes, the alarm sounds even if the phone goes into sleep mode.

Dose this replace the gas gauge in the genesis 2?

The iGrill 3 does replace the gas gauge for the Genesis II but the tank reading will be available in the Weber iGrill App after the iGrill 3 is installed.

The probes come wrapped within black plastic. Do you unwrap the probe from the plastic or remove the plastic altogether?

You unwrap the probes from the plastic holder when in use. Once done using the probes you wrap the cord around the holder once again.

Can you use this with a fryer?

Our iGrill probes are not designed for use with fryers. Hot oils can damage the probes.

Are the probe wires braided steel or silicone?

The probe wires are made out of braided steel. The redesigned probes can withstand up to 720 F, have a double crimp with increased water resistance, as well as a stronger pull force to prevent the probe from coming out of the unit.

Is there anything better about he igrill 3 than 2?

The iGrill 2 and iGrill 3 are very similar units, but there is no iGrill with more capabilities than either of those two at this time.
