Quick answer
Worth it only if you already own an iGrill or a Weber Connect and need a new probe: it is the genuine spare (model 7211), rated 4.6 out of 5 across 4,660 reviews. Without the thermometer it is useless, and the listing does not say whether it is a meat or an ambient probe. Check your model before ordering.
Genuine Weber spare probe for iGrill and Weber Connect devices. It is a thermometer part, not a kamado part, and measures nothing without the device.
The Weber 7211 is a spare probe for Weber thermometers, and it is worth saying up front: it is a part for a thermometer, not for the kamado. On its own it measures nothing, because it plugs into a compatible device. The listing presents it as "Weber original", for iGrill devices and the Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub, and the details table names Weber-Stephen (Europe) as manufacturer and the USA as country of origin. It is stainless steel on the outside, water resistant, with cable-wrap storage and four colour codes, and the box holds the probe and a holder. The listing gives 6.58 x 1.27 x 12.7 cm and 43.09 g without making clear which part of the set that measurement describes.
Here the listing contradicts itself, and it is not for this review to fix it on its behalf. The title speaks of an internal-temperature probe for monitoring meat or fish, up to 300 °C; the components table says "meat temperature probe"; yet one of the highlighted points announces "ambient temperature monitoring". Two of the three point to a meat probe, so the prudent course is to treat it as one and not buy it to measure the kamado chamber without confirming first. The guide to thermometers and probes explains the difference, and internal temperature is exactly what a meat probe reads.
On a kamado the probe goes into the meat and the cable has to leave the chamber somewhere. That somewhere is usually the join between dome and base, and there the cable crushes the gasket: the lid no longer seals fully and air gets in, which on a long low-temperature cook such as smoked brisket can cost you stability. That is why the cable is the most exposed part of any kamado probe: it sits between hot ceramic and the lid. The listing does not publish the cable length, and the run from the meat to the rim is longer on a 61 cm XL than on a 46 cm Large or a 33 cm MiniMax. Nor does it say whether the 300 °C in the title applies to the tip, the cable or both.
Other drawbacks read in the listing. It does not list the models it supports one by one: it says "iGrill" and "Weber Connect" but does not tell iGrill Mini, 2 or 3 apart, so check yours before paying. The table mentions a lithium-ion battery as required, a detail that looks copied from the device rather than a probe. And the rating, 4.6 out of 5 across 4,660 reviews on Amazon, is good, but from the listing alone you cannot tell whether those reviews are about meat or ambient use.
Verdict: it is the genuine spare for anyone who already has a Weber Connect or an iGrill and has broken a probe, well rated and fairly priced for what it is. Not tested in hand: the score comes from reading the listing, not from using it, and the meat-or-ambient doubt is a reason to confirm before ordering.
A sensible genuine spare if you already own an iGrill or Weber Connect. Useless without the device, and the listing does not say if it is a meat or ambient probe.
Editorial rating from spec sheet, measurements and kamado fit · not a hands-on test
Pros
- Genuine Weber spare (7211), compatible with iGrill and Weber Connect per the listing
- 4.6 out of 5 across 4,660 Amazon reviews: solid backing for a small part
- Stainless steel exterior, water resistant, with cable-wrap storage
- Colour-coded indicators (four codes) to tell probes apart
Cons
- Listing does not say if it is a meat or ambient probe: title, bullet and table disagree
- No cable length published, nor which exact iGrill models it supports
- A thermometer part, not a kamado part: useless without iGrill or Weber Connect
Who it's for
For anyone already running an iGrill or a Weber Connect on the kamado who needs to replace a damaged probe with a genuine one.
Not for
If you have no compatible device: on its own it measures nothing. And if you want a guaranteed ambient probe, the listing is not clear.

Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub 3202: WiFi and Bluetooth thermometer
This is the device the probe connects to according to the listing: a Weber WiFi and Bluetooth thermometer. If your original probe has failed, the spare saves you replacing the whole kit; if you have no device yet, start with the hub rather than the loose probe. Check that your version fits the spare's listing.

BBQ Future wire mesh fiberglass gasket kit universal kamado
If you route the probe cable through the lid, the gasket gets squashed and loses its seal, as this listing's FAQ explains. A spare fibreglass mesh gasket lets you renew it once you notice air leaking. Measure your kamado before buying one.

ThermoPro TP19H: instant-read thermometer, folding probe, up to 300 °C
With a new probe it is worth checking that the reading is correct. A separate instant-read thermometer serves as a reference to cross-check the temperature it shows. The iGrill devices remain the family this probe is named for, but this thermometer does not depend on them.

FAQ
Will it work with my iGrill or Weber Connect?
The listing says it is compatible with iGrill devices and the Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub, but it does not list each iGrill model (Mini, 2, 3) or describe the connector. Being from that family does not guarantee a fit, and the listing does not go into detail. Compare the model printed on your unit with the compatibility information on the Amazon listing before paying, and keep the receipt in case you need to return it.
Is it a meat probe or an ambient probe?
The listing cannot make up its mind. The title describes an internal-temperature probe for meat or fish; the table calls it a meat temperature probe; and one highlighted point speaks of ambient temperature monitoring. With two references to meat against one to ambient, treat it as a meat probe. If you need to measure the kamado chamber, look for a probe that says so unambiguously, or confirm with the seller before ordering.
Can I run the cable through the kamado gasket?
You can, but it crushes the gasket. Any cable trapped between dome and base stops the gasket sealing fully, and the lid lets air in at exactly that point. The listing says nothing about this use. If you do it, use a single probe and watch that the chamber temperature stays steady; if you notice leaks or the temperature runs away, the gasket is the first suspect.
Will it stand up to kamado temperatures?
The title says up to 300 °C and the listing adds "heat resistant", but it does not make clear whether that limit applies to the tip, the cable or both. For smoking and long cooks, with the chamber well below that figure, there is headroom. For a hot sear, with the chamber above 300 °C, the cable is exposed to the heat, so pull the probe out, wearing gloves, before that step.
