Meats all year round: MEATER+ Smart Wireless Meat Thermometer
Staff FavoriteMEATER+ is a simple smart meat thermometer with a whopping 165-foot range. It has two sensors to measure internal temperatures up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit and external temperatures up to 527 degrees Fahrenheit simultaneously. Equipped with an advanced estimator algorithm, it helps you determine how much longer to cook your food and manage your time better. MEATER+ also walks you through the cooking process for perfect results, and there's Alexa integration.

The latest and greatest: Weber iGrill 3
If you prefer to have the latest version of your gadgets, then iGrill 3 is worth considering. The iGrill 3 from Weber has 250-hour battery life, and the meat probes are resistant up to 716 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that this one only works with the Weber Genesis II, Genesis II LX, and Spirit II gas barbecue gas grills by permanently mounting to the side table. It comes with two meat probes.

A grill that does everything: Lynx Smart 30
If money isn't an issue, the Smart 30 Grill from Lynx is the grandaddy of smart grilling. Just slap your meat down on the grill top, tell the Smart Grill what you're cooking and how you want it cooked, and it takes care of the rest. Through an app, the Lynx grill tells you when to flip foods and when it's done. Preferences are saved for quick access later. The Lynx Smart 30 has LED control knobs, a rotisserie, and stainless steel shelves.

Mmmm, smoky and tasty!: Masterbuilt Bluetooth Smoker with Grill
Smoked meats are always tasty, and this Masterbuilt Bluetooth Smoker is digital and comes with Bluetooth connectivity. With the Bluetooth capability, you're able to connect to your smartphone and control the cooking temperature and time with ease. There is even a built-in meat thermometer probe that helps you get the best results all the time. It has four chrome-coated smoking racks, and a side wood chip loading system to add wood chips without opening the door.

Sous vide to perfection: Breville Joule Sous Vide
Sous vide is the process of cooking food through a controlled-temperature water bath, so the food is perfectly cooked and never under or overdone. The Joule Sous Vide circulator from Breville will heat the water faster than other circulators, is smaller than most, and connects to your smartphone via the app through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. With the Joule, you'll get the perfect rare (or medium-rare) steak before you char it up on your grill. It's foolproof and provides consistent results every time.

Budget sous vide: Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Nano
While the Joule is a favorite among sous vide enthusiasts, the price tag is a bit high. If you want something that's more budget-friendly, the Anova Sous Video Nano is a great option. The Nano option only includes Bluetooth (no Wi-Fi) support, so you can still control it with your smartphone. The Anova app also has plenty of recipes to help you get started with sous vide.
It's smokin'!
These are some of the best smart grilling accessories that we were able to find. If you need some recommendations on must-haves, here are a few of our favorites.
The one that we absolutely would recommend is the MEATER+. This simple tool is not just great for BBQs, but it's fantastic to use year-round! It works with your grill, the oven, the stove, and whatever else you cook meat with. It also has a nice, long-range and is easy to use.
For perfectly done meat, we highly recommend the ChefSteps Joule Sous Vide, since it will always cook your food perfectly, and it can be controlled remotely via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The Traeger Pro Series 575 Pellet Grill is a nice and affordable smart grill, allowing you to throw your meat on the flames, set a custom cook cycle, and walk away. The app lets you know when your food is done so that you can chow down on that perfectly cooked steak or rack of ribs.
