This stopped working after 2 uses. It has 12 month warranty, how do I get a refund?

I highly recommend buying at least one replacement probe as a back up. IMO, there is never a convenient time for a wire probe to fail. You can check your main probe before starting by checking it's reading for the ambient air. If you aren't sure, plug in the back up probe to0 see if it reads differently.

Inkbird sent me a couple different models of these back in june to review for them. That said ill try to provide an honest non biased review of these since thats what inkbird asked of me, good or bad.
I got to use them a few times in july including during a big 4th of july party with multiple meats and probes being used in my electric smoker and "amazn" smoker pellet maze (which is an awesome invention btw for any smoker)
They sent me both the 2 probe model and the 6 probe version and they both work really well with my motorola droid turbo phone.
The things I like about them are,
The long range, they still worked when I was like 40 ft away from my smoker which is not typical on many bluetooth devices I tested.
I like the fact that you can set the alarms for your own custom temps on each probe.
They show you a bar graph of your meat temps which helps to see whats going on and when things stall as far as temps.
The probes are all stainless including the shielding on the cables which is nice, I had a non bluetooth wireless probe setup which had a plastic base and always worried about it melting.
The app is pretty straight forward and easy to use and easily found on the playstore.
A couple things that I didnt care for which are related to each other and could honestly be something I did wrong...
I could not seem to find an easy way to close the app... even when I thought I had closed it the phone still had a bluetooth connection (and since It doesnt pair with the device through the bluetooth manager like most devices with a pairing code it made things confusing because it didnt show up there)
I thought I had disconnected it from my phone and tried to connect my girlfriends samsung phone so she could monitor things while I made a quick run to the store... well Her phone would not connect it seemed no matter what I did.. a bit later the alarm went off on my phone and kept going off and the only way I weas able to stop it was to disable the bluetooth function on my phone. this meant I couldnt use or connect my bluetooth speaker unless I actually turned the ink bird bbq unit off with the switch and then connected to my speaker. GF's samsung s5 phone then connected fine to the inkbird unit.
Hopefully inkbird can add an exit app button or at least point me to what I did wrong if there is such a button?
Ive never used a bluetooth device that did not show up in my android bluetooth manager and I do prefer managing connections from there so I can easily see what is and isn't connected. I did just recently share this with them in hopes they can easily correct it or tell me what I may have done wrong.
That said both units worked great otherwise and I use one with my electric smoker and my summer camp/cabin and the other for my grilling at home. They both work with the same app. I would not hesitate to buy one of these if I didnt already have one. Unlike a lot of the Chinese made goods you can find online Inkbird does genuinely appear to care about providing good products and improving them to meet consumers demands.

Free 1 day shipping?!?! This thing was in my mailbox the next day and I don't have Prime...
Opened it up...tossed in a couple batteries and downloaded the app...BOOM!
The app looks cool...the graph is neat...I was happy when I changed from C to F in app it also changed display on base. No magical combination of buttons to figure out on base...just use your phone
I think you will have a hard time beating this for $28 including shipping....
I have Inkbird controllers on my ferm chamber and keezer and have been very happy....looking forward to same from bbq thermometer
Did a small pork loin for dinner tonight as a trial run. This thing is neat...pork was perfect. Told my Dad about it and now he wants one
Thanks Inkbird!
