Post by: bigbassnutt on July 28, 2015, 06:13:48 PM

Thinking about getting a tappecue and wondered how many on here have tried it and how they liked it.

I like the idea you can check this from anywhere on the internet and the range is really not an issues. Price is a bit high at $200.00 and it sounds like moisture can be an issue, but they do make a case.

Below is a review.

I recently got one for my birthday.  I have tried iGrill 1, Maverick 735, and the Tappecue.  In short here is my assessment:
- iGrill - best app by far
- Maverick 735 - best quality probes and seemed pretty stable on iPhone
- Tappecue - like the WIFI which is why I got it, but cheap probes and mediocre app

Each of these seem like an amateur electronics house designed them.  None of them have the complete package.  I haven't used the Tappecue that much, but my first time it started raining so I had to rush out to protect it.  If I knew I was going to stay home I would just use the Maverick 735.  It seemed to work well for me.  The iGrill always required pulling the batteries to get it to connect.

I think the Tappecue will be fine if you don't mind the moisture issue and a mediocre app.  I have been leaving the house during my smokes and being able to monitor temp will be quite helpful to me.

Mike,

BenJamn (Ben) did a thread on this awhile back.  Haven't heard much from Ben, for awhile, but he's a good SIer.  He got the Tappecue:
