Loki - The Smart WiFi Meat Thermometer

We have used this meat thermometer quite a few times on the smoker and in the oven. One of the hardest things to cook, in my opinion, are chicken breasts. I marinated with teriyaki sauce and let Loki monitor the temp. They turned out juicy and tasty in about 40 minutes. I will definitely do that again.I like the features of the Loki app that is on my smart phone. The interface is easy to use and intuitive. It keeps track of your cooking temperature of the food and also the temperature inside the grill or oven (the ambient temp). The ambient temp was super helpful because the ambient temp started to drop and I realized my smoker was out of pellets.I have tried cooking with two probes on two different meats and it worked great! One meat finished quicker than the other and I took it off, and if I didn't have Loki I probably would have cooked the two meats the same amount of time, and overcooked my beef!I like that you receive alerts regularly throughout the cook, whether it is a long (10 hour) smoke or a short 45 minute cook, it keeps track of everything, no problem. Also, I can look back at past cooks, which is nice. And it came with a nice case to keep everything together!One of my favorite things is that I can leave my house and know that I can still monitor my meat with the app. It still works as long as I have cell service, so I can look at temp graphs and see how the meat is doing. Friends usually say "wow" when they ask what I'm looking at on my phone (at work or out and about) and I show them the progress graphs my meat is making at home in the smoker on a long smoke. It's pretty cool. I've used it several times and now I love smoking meats on the grill even more knowing I can see what is going on and not ruining an expensive meal.

I purchased this product over a month ago and have used it to smoke two briskets and four chickens. I have only had positive experiences with the product. The ability to monitor the temperature of the smoker and meat while out on the go is a huge bonus! I can be out on the Harley or shopping, making appointments all while cooking!Note, you must make sure you have the probes plugged in all the way to the LOKI or you’ll have the same issue as the guy with the bad review, but it is a great product. I have since bought 3 more probes and smoked 3 meats at once with no issue

I spent hours trying to get the loki thermometer to connect to the app, sometimes it would but most of the time it wouldn't. When it did connect the software was so buggy it wouldn't update with current temp or any other information. It would sometimes crash and then not connect again. I tried to call loki to see if i could get some tech help and there is no number on the site, only an email address. I was in the middle of a smoke so the auto reply of "we'll get back to you within 24 hours" was disheartening to say the least. They finally got back to me with a response 4 hours later that says to basically check my wifi connection ... I'm below the age of 70 so that response is not helpful. I told them i checked it and asked if i could speak to a human and their reply stated that they only correspond via email. .. what??? thats insane ... for $160 i should get a person to speak to. Then i go to return it and found out that it can't be returned because of special shipping. My advise, run away from this device. The idea sounds great but it simply doesn't work and in my opinion borderlines on fraud.The photo is the wheel of death that constantly displays as it searches for the lost loki ....run away unless you want to waist one of your weekends trying to get this thing to work while watching $160 go up in smoke.
