2-Year WarrantyBestselling Smart Probe
Take the guesswork out of cooking. The MEATER Plus is the world's bestselling wireless smart meat thermometer: a single probe with dual sensors that monitors both your meat's internal temperature AND the cooker's ambient temperature, broadcasting both to your phone via Bluetooth with a 50-metre range when paired with the included booster charger.
For BBQ Republic customers who have invested in a serious cooker (kamado, pellet grill, offset smoker, gas grill) and premium ingredients (Wagyu brisket, dry-aged steaks, competition pork ribs), MEATER Plus is the $199 insurance policy that ensures every cook hits its target temperature. One ruined brisket from guesswork costs more than this device. The MEATER Plus pays for itself the first time it saves a long cook.
Universal Cooker Compatibility
Works with every cooker you own.
Unlike wired probe thermometers that require specific cooker ports, MEATER Plus is fully wireless and works inside any cooker that operates below 275°C (the ambient temperature limit). MEATER officially supports these cooker types:
Kamado Grill
Pellet Grill
Gas Grill
Offset Smoker
Kettle Grill
Rotisserie
Oven
Induction
Griddle
Steamer
Air Fryer
Sous Vide
50m Bluetooth Range
The included wooden booster charger doubles as a Bluetooth range extender, broadcasting the probe signal up to 50 metres so you can monitor cooks from anywhere in the house.
Dual Sensors in One Probe
Single probe simultaneously monitors meat internal temperature (up to 100°C) AND ambient cooker temperature (up to 275°C). No separate ambient probe needed.
Smartphone App Driven
Free MEATER app (iOS and Android) provides built-in cook guides for every protein, target temperature alerts, estimated time-to-done, and full cook session monitoring from anywhere within range.
Dishwasher Safe
Stainless steel and ceramic probe construction is dishwasher safe (a rarity among smart thermometers). Easy cleanup after every cook with no hand washing required.
Why Smart Thermometry Matters
The single biggest cause of ruined BBQ is guesswork on temperature.
Ask any pitmaster what separates competition-grade BBQ from backyard BBQ, and the answer almost always comes back to temperature control. Brisket cooks for 12-14 hours and needs to hit 95-96°C internal for proper rendering. Steaks reverse-seared in a kamado need to climb to 50°C internal before the sear stage. Pulled pork shoulders are done at 96°C, not 92°C. The cuts BBQ Republic customers cook (Wagyu, dry-aged ribeyes, picanha, full-packer brisket, premium pork) cost hundreds of dollars per cook, and the difference between perfectly cooked and ruined comes down to one number.
For decades, the only options were wired probe thermometers (cable routing problems, port limitations, accuracy issues across long cooks) or instant-read pen thermometers (need to be physically present, constant lid-opening loses heat). MEATER Plus solved both problems with a single wireless probe that lives inside the meat for the entire cook, broadcasting real-time temperature data to a smartphone app via Bluetooth. The probe sits in the meat. The cook is monitored from anywhere within 50 metres. The app sends alerts when target temperatures are approaching or hit. The lid stays closed. The cook stays consistent.
This is why MEATER Plus became the world's bestselling wireless smart thermometer: it solved a real problem for serious home BBQ cooks. For Sydney customers cooking on a Big Green Egg, a Yoder pellet grill, or any other BBQ Republic-stocked cooker, the MEATER Plus is the $199 device that protects every cook from there on.
Getting Started
How MEATER Plus works in three steps.
From unboxing to first cook in approximately 10 minutes:
1
Set Up the App
Download the free MEATER app (iOS or Android), insert the AAA battery in the booster charger, and pair the probe with your phone via Bluetooth. One-time setup, takes 5 minutes.
2
Insert and Cook
Push the probe into the thickest part of the meat until the marker line on the probe is inside the meat (this is where the meat sensor lives). The exposed end measures the cooker's ambient temperature.
3
Monitor From Anywhere
The app sends live temperature updates and alerts you when target temperatures are hit. Walk around the house, watch TV, run errands. The app tells you when to come back.

Frequently asked questions
How does MEATER Plus differ from a wired probe thermometer?
Three major differences. First, MEATER Plus is fully wireless: no cables running through your cooker's lid gap, no port limitations on which cooker you can use it with, no cable damage from regular BBQ wear and tear. Second, MEATER Plus measures BOTH meat internal AND cooker ambient temperatures from a single probe (wired thermometers typically need two separate probes for this). Third, MEATER Plus broadcasts to your smartphone for 50-metre wireless monitoring, while wired thermometers require you to physically read the display unit. The downside of wireless is that the probe holds a charge for 24+ hours per cook (wired probes do not need batteries).
What is the difference between MEATER Plus and MEATER Pro?
MEATER Plus ($199 AUD) and MEATER Pro ($249 AUD) share the same wireless single-probe form factor and the same MEATER app. The Pro adds higher temperature limits (handles higher-heat cooks better than the Plus), faster temperature update rates, and more advanced sensors. For most home BBQ applications (brisket, pork shoulder, ribs, steaks), the Plus is more than sufficient. The Pro is worth the additional $50 for very-high-heat applications (pizza ovens, hot sears) or for cooks who want the most advanced MEATER experience. For multi-probe simultaneous cooking, see the MEATER Block which handles four probes at once.
How far is the 50-metre range realistically?
50 metres is the line-of-sight maximum with the booster charger active and a clear Bluetooth path. In a typical Sydney house with brick walls and standard household interference, expect realistic range of 20-35 metres. This still comfortably covers most backyard-to-kitchen scenarios and most house interiors. For longer-range monitoring (including off-property monitoring), consider the MEATER Block which adds WiFi connectivity for unlimited range via internet.
Can I use MEATER Plus in a kamado, pellet grill or gas grill?
Yes, MEATER Plus works in every common BBQ cooker type. Kamado grills (including Big Green Egg), pellet grills (including Yoder, GMG), gas grills, offset smokers, kettle grills, kamado rotisseries, and standard ovens are all explicitly supported. The probe sits inside the meat for the entire cook and the cooker ambient temperature is monitored via the exposed end of the probe. The only limit is the 275°C ambient temperature ceiling: do not use MEATER Plus in pizza ovens or for very-high-heat searing above 275°C (use the MEATER Pro for those applications).
Is MEATER Plus dishwasher safe?
Yes, the probe itself is fully dishwasher safe (stainless steel and ceramic construction). This is genuinely useful: unlike most smart thermometers which require careful hand washing, MEATER Plus can be put in the dishwasher after every cook for easy cleanup. The booster charger is NOT dishwasher safe (it contains electronics): clean the charger with a damp cloth only.
How long does the probe charge last?
24+ hours of continuous cooking per full charge: more than enough for the longest brisket or pulled pork cooks. The probe charges in the booster charger between cooks. The wooden booster charger itself runs on a single AAA battery that charges the probe up to 100 times before needing replacement. Realistic ongoing operating cost: approximately one AAA battery per year of regular cooking, plus the probe's internal battery has standard rechargeable-battery lifespan.
What is the maximum temperature MEATER Plus can handle?
Two separate temperature limits. The meat internal sensor handles up to 100°C (the meat probe sits inside the meat where internal temperatures rarely exceed 100°C even on very long cooks). The cooker ambient sensor handles up to 275°C, which covers virtually every BBQ low-and-slow application and most grilling applications. For higher-heat sears or pizza-oven cooks above 275°C, use the MEATER Pro instead which has higher ambient temperature limits.
What is included in the box?
The MEATER Plus wireless probe, the wooden booster charger with built-in Bluetooth range extender, an AAA battery to power the charger, and a quick start guide. The MEATER app is a free download from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. Compatible with iOS 13+ and Android 8+ devices. No additional accessories required to get started.
What does the 2-year warranty cover?
MEATER's 2-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This includes electronics failures, probe sensor issues, charger malfunctions, and similar manufacturing defects. The warranty does not cover damage from misuse (exceeding the 275°C ambient temperature limit, dropping the probe, water damage to the charger), normal wear, or accidental damage. Contact BBQ Republic if you need warranty service: we coordinate with MEATER Australia for warranty claims.
Can I pick up from the showroom?
Yes. MEATER Plus is on display and available for immediate pickup from our Wetherill Park showroom: Monday and Wednesday to Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 2pm (closed Tuesday and Sunday). Sydney metro delivery is also available. Call 0434 010 411 to confirm current stock and arrange pickup or delivery. We can also walk you through the initial setup and pair the device with your phone in-store if you would prefer that to setting up at home.
