威焙烤炉推出Wi-Fi模式

Web-connected pellet grills* are having a moment, and rightfully so. They allow you to control and monitor your grill from afar, which is very convenient, especially you’re smoking a piece of meat for eight hours or more.

Several companies have already jumped on the bandwagon, with Traeger, Green Mountain Grills and others all offering models with built-in connectivity. And recently, Weber has also introduced its grills enabled with Wi-Fi.

The SmokeFire grills require an app to help you control things, and it’s called “Weber Connect.” The app also guides you through the grilling process, and it’s powered by June OS. That’s the cooking software from June, a company that makes connected smart ovens. The app walks you through things like setup and preparation, in addition to sending food doneness alerts and calculating an estimated finishing time. That feature predicts a time based on food temperature readings from meat probes and “integrated grill measurement systems.”

Weber has done the app-assisted cooking thing before with its iGrill devices, but those are via Bluetooth, and they basically just monitor temperature/doneness. The SmokeFire grills also allow you to use up to four food probes at once. (SD-Agencies)
