You can beat the heat with these options

Wireless grill thermometers, especially those linked to an app on your phone or tablet, take it a step further. Wireless grill thermometers can alert you to those important times when you need to return and tend to your meat. They can even virtually cook it for you, offering recipes for all types of grilling opportunities. Here are a few that offer to monitor your meat for you, so you don't flip your lid.

ThermoPro TP20 Wireless Remote Digital Cooking Food Meat Thermometer with Dual Probe for Smoker Grill BBQ Thermometer
Its lithium-ion battery can be recharged up to three times over its life, assuring longevity. | ThermoPro

The ThermoPro offers a nice collection of features. We like the kitchen timer function, which beeps and flashes once a preset temp is reached, facilitating lengthy cooking projects. There are nine preset temperatures that cover all varieties of meat-based on USDA recommendations, but any or all are easy to change for those who prefer their own go-to methods of grilling. This thermometer's range extends 300 feet, or through the rooms and hallways of your house.

It makes sense that one of the most accessorized and brand-loyal grills in the marketplace should have its own wireless thermometer. The iGrill3 comes with its own app and attaches directly to the side table of any Genesis II or Spirit II gas grill out there. There is a large database on the app for cooking meats if you want to be fully automated. And the app will save and catalog your previous cooks – it even records pictures and descriptions – so you can easily reference and even improve your grills in the future.
