Perfect Timing for Holiday Cooking Season

As the holidays approach, cooks everywhere juggle turkeys, hams, and side dishes; each with its own timing and temperature. The MeatStick V removes the guesswork, giving hosts peace of mind knowing exactly when the meat is perfectly done without slicing too early or risking overcooking.

Why Pitmasters Chose It

Judges and users alike recognized The MeatStick V for combining rugged performance with cutting-edge intelligence:

  • Reliable Connectivity: WiFi capability lets users monitor their cook from anywhere, even while running errands, relaxing at the park, or picking up last-minute groceries, while Bluetooth extends up to 900 ft+ for powerful local performance.
  • Accurate Sensors: Five internal sensors and one ambient sensor with 4-point calibration delivers ±0.2°C/±0.4°F accuracy, ensuring perfect results for any cut of meat.
  • Built for Fire: Rugged, high-temperature design withstands up to 1200°F (650°C), ready for open-flame grilling, searing, and smoking.

“Recognition from pitmasters is the ultimate validation in BBQ,” said Mendel, CEO of The MeatStick. “It proves our technology isn’t just smart; it’s built to thrive over live fire. Grill and smoker manufacturers see this as a platform for integration, just as consumers see it as a trusted cooking companion.”
