Congrats, new barbecue aficionado: You’ve quickly mastered the art of the grill. You’ve equipped your patio with a top-of-the-line BBQ, and you’ve got all the necessary BBQ accessories. And yet, you feel as though you’re stuck behind the grill whenever you host a cookout. Sounds like you need a wireless thermometer.
Wireless thermometers like the ThermoPro TempSpike offer an unparalleled level of convenience to pitmasters everywhere. With a wireless setup, BBQ connoisseurs are able to monitor their cooks from a distance of up to 500 feet. This gives you the freedom to do just about anything you want as your food continues to grill on its own.
What else can you be doing with a wireless thermometer?
Start multi-tasking with your BBQ by choosing any of the following activities:
1. Cook Other Food
As we can all agree, grilled meat is great, but it’s not the only food served at a cookout. To ensure that your guests are adequately served, you’ll need to prepare all the fixings: coleslaw, potato salad, bean salad, and the works. And with a wireless thermometer, you’ll have the freedom to do all of this while keeping a watchful eye on your BBQ.
Feel free to step away from the patio to do a little prep work in the kitchen, or to grab a few more things from the fridge. Sizzle a few hot dogs to offer a little something to tide your guests over until the main course is ready. Steam and grill corn and veggies as you keep tabs on your meat.
2. Mingle and Socialize
As the host of your own cookout, it’s up to you to take care of your guests. With a wireless thermometer, you’ll be able to take on host duties while also donning the chef’s hat.
Meet and greet new arrivals while monitoring cooking temperatures. Have a beer and kick back with your friends without the need to constantly get up and attend to the grill. Have a chance to actually enjoy the party that you are throwing with the help of wireless technology.
3. Play Games/Sports
By equipping your grill with a wireless thermometer, you’re free to do all sorts of things. Want to take a dip in the pool? Can do. Feel free to join a pick-up game of football in the backyard, or maybe a round of cornhole. Whatever it is, you’ll be able to escape from behind the grill and get active by using a wireless thermometer.
4. Watch Movie/Play Video Games
Binging on the latest Netflix show is a guilty pleasure, and it’s one that can safely happen with a wireless thermometer. As you settle down for an episode (or more), use the receiver of the wireless thermometer to keep an eye on cooking temperatures. Or, if the thermometer is controlled by an app like the TempSpike, use your phone to achieve the same goal.
Video games are another pastime in which time seems to melt away. But you won’t ever have the problem of overcooking your meat by watching its progress with a wireless thermometer. Play another round with the confidence of knowing the cooking progress of your BBQ.
5. Do Chores/Housework/Fix Car
Wireless thermometers offer a degree of freedom that extends beyond the backyard. With some models offering a range of up to 500 feet, wireless thermometers let you monitor from just about anywhere in your home*. This means that you’ll be able to multitask and perform chores throughout your home while watching temperature changes on your BBQ.
As you grill or smoke your meat, feel free to vacuum or do the laundry. Head out to the garage to perform maintenance on your car. With a wireless thermometer, you can stay productive and busy at the same time as you prepare your family’s next meal.
*Results may vary. Some users may experience difficulties receiving transmissions through walls.
6. Take the Dog for a Walk
Walking the dog while monitoring BBQ temperatures may seem like hyperbole, but that’s far from the truth. With the maximum range of some thermometer models reaching 500 feet, this means you’re able to receive transmissions from a distance of 2 city blocks. And although some dogs may need longer walks, this distance is more than enough to stretch the legs of the average family pet.
7. Spend Time with the Family
There’s never enough time during the week to spend quality time with your family members. To help ensure you use your time wisely, a wireless thermometer lets you cook while spending time with your kids. This way, you can prepare a delicious, healthy meal while also giving your kids the attention they need.
8. Read/Study/Do Hobbies
Make every moment count with a wireless thermometer. Use your time wisely as you grill or smoke to catch up on your reading or studies. Or, be able to spend a little more on your favorite hobby while simultaneously having something on your smoker. It’s all possible with the help of a wireless thermometer.
9. Eat & Relax
One thing about being responsible for providing the food at a cookout is that everyone is depending on you. Even if you receive some help, it’s up to you as the host to feed your guests, a duty that transcends your own hunger needs.
A wireless thermometer takes the worry out of BBQs with a system that ensures your ingredients are cooking the way you want. With a wireless thermometer, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy eating your own food.
10. Sleep/Nap
If weekends were made for one thing, that would be for having a barbecue. If this were extended to include two things, then that would include taking a nap. With a wireless thermometer, you can accomplish both at the same time! Just set the receiver next to the sofa or bed, preset the alarm for your target temperature, and let sleep overtake you.
To be safe, it’s best that someone in your household remain awake to watch for any problems with your lit BBQ. All the same, the cooking temperature remains monitored by the device that notifies you once the preset is reached.
