Weber iGrill 3 Grill Thermometer User Manual

1. Introduction

The Weber iGrill 3 is an app-connected thermometer designed to enhance your grilling experience by allowing you to monitor the doneness of up to four cuts of meat directly from your smart device. This device is specifically designed to mount directly into compatible Weber Genesis II or Spirit II gas grills that feature an “iGrill 3 Ready” plate on the side table.

With a battery life of approximately 250 hours, the iGrill 3 comes equipped with two color-coded, professional-grade meat probes and supports a maximum capacity of four probes. Its seamless pairing with the Weber iGrill app ensures you receive immediate alerts when your food reaches its ideal temperature, eliminating the need to frequently open your grill or smoker lid during the cooking process.
