Whether slow smoking a rack of ribs or grilling up some perfectly cooked steaks, the Weber iGrill app connects via Bluetooth to your iGrill Thermometer letting you know exactly what’s going on with your meats at all times. The app features an extensive temperature preset library for popular cuts of meat and fish and gives you the ability to set multiple timers at once.
