Quick answer
Yes, the MEATER+ is among the best thermometers to gift someone who loves to cook. It is a fully wireless probe: no cables to burn, no connectors to get wet, because the probe sits inside the meat and the base picks up the signal and relays it to your phone over WiFi up to 50 m. Polished design and app, premium in every sense. It is for anyone who values the total freedom of no cables on the kamado. If you run 14-hour briskets with a full chamber, you will need more probes, such as an Inkbird IBT-4XS.
The 100% cable-free probe that changed the game. No cables to burn, no plugs to soak — the probe goes inside the meat, the base picks up the signal and forwards it to your phone over WiFi. Premium across the board.
MEATER+ pairs a wireless probe (two sensors: internal meat + external chamber) with a base that acts as a WiFi repeater. The app computes cook and rest times, adapts the algorithm to weight and pings you when to pull. Rated up to 275°C in the chamber.
If you are gifting a thermometer to someone who loves cooking, this is the gift.

Kamado Joe Classic III 18"
MEATER+ pairs especially well with the Classic III: the SloRoller keeps a stable chamber and the predictive algorithm is more accurate.

Big Green Egg Large
On a BGE Large one probe is enough — the chamber is small and zone temperature stays close. MEATER+ is the minimalist choice.

FAQ
Does the wireless probe survive inside the meat for the whole smoke?
Yes. The internal end handles up to 100°C in meat (way past any cut), the chamber-exposed end up to 275°C. What kills MEATER probes is the dishwasher and leaving them in the sun. In a 110-120°C kamado it does not flinch.
Is the predictive cook-time algorithm accurate?
For regular cuts (tenderloin, loin, breast) yes: final estimate usually falls within 10 minutes. For stalling cuts (brisket, pork shoulder) the algorithm goes wild and you should ignore it past hour 4. The useful part of the app is not prediction, it is the target-temperature alarm. That part is flawless.
Does the WiFi base have to stay indoors or can it stay outside?
Indoors is better. The base is not rain-rated and the OLED screen does not love full sun. Keep it in the kitchen by a window with the kamado 10 m outside and the probe → base Bluetooth range is plenty. The base → phone WiFi side goes through your home router.
Is it enough for a whole brisket with two pieces?
Strictly no — MEATER+ ships with a single probe. To watch point and flat separately you need MEATER Block (4 probes) or an Inkbird IBT-4XS. MEATER+ is perfect for one big piece or several pieces cooked to the same doneness (several tenderloins at once, for example).
