- Inkbird IBT-6XS Bluetooth Meat Thermometer
Important: Using these probes with other thermometer models may lead to inaccurate temperature readings and potential damage to the probes or the thermometer.
5. Setup
- Identify Probe Type: The red, yellow, and green probes are for internal meat temperature. The blue probe is for ambient temperature (e.g., inside a smoker or oven).
- Connect Probes: Insert the colored jack of each probe firmly into the corresponding port on your Inkbird IBT-4XS or IBT-6XS thermometer unit. Ensure a secure connection.
- Placement:
- For meat probes: Insert the probe tip into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone or gristle.
- For ambient probe: Use the included clip to attach the ambient probe to the grill grate, ensuring it is not directly touching the food or the heat source.
- Monitor: Once connected, your Inkbird thermometer unit and its associated app (if used) will display the temperature readings from each probe.

6. Operating Instructions
The probes function by transmitting temperature data to your compatible Inkbird thermometer. The color-coded design allows for easy identification of which probe is monitoring which food item or ambient temperature.
- Meat Temperature Monitoring: Insert the desired colored meat probe into the center of the thickest part of the food. The thermometer will display the internal temperature.
- Ambient Temperature Monitoring: Position the blue ambient probe within your smoker or oven using the grate clip to measure the surrounding air temperature.
- App Integration: For IBT-4XS/IBT-6XS models, utilize the Inkbird app on your smartphone to set target temperatures, receive alerts, and view temperature graphs remotely.
7. Temperature Range and Accuracy
- Short-time Measurement: 32°F ~ 572°F (0°C ~ 300°C)
- Continuous Monitoring: 32°F ~ 482°F (0°C ~ 250°C)
- Accuracy: ±2°F / ±1°C
The probes are designed for ultra-accurate and fast temperature readings to ensure your food is cooked perfectly.
8. Maintenance and Care
