Chad's Crappy Corner and another gadget for his theme for May, backyard & bbq gadgets.

Chad's theme for May (as voted on by our loving Patreons) is Grill/BBQ, and his gadgets for this week's show is the Igrill Ambient Probe Thermometer

Here are the features as listed on Amazon: High Heat Resistance: This probe can withstand temperatures as high as 620°F for extreme grilling and smoking. - Wind It Up: The unique design of the probe wrap means less time untangling and makes for more organized storage. -Simple Storage: With a magnetic backing, the probe wrap conveniently stacks with your iGrill2 or iGrillmini. -Take It Hot or Cold: Measures temperatures between -22 and 572 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature readings can be changed to Celsius within the app. -Color Coded: Easily identify multiple tracked temperatures within the app using the four colored probe indicators.

 And Chad's take?

Chad got faked out with this item. As you can see by the description above from Amazon its hard to know that this gadget does NOTHING by itself. It must be plugged into an iGrill2 or iGrill-mini device to work. So unless you have one of those iDevices already, certainly DO NOT buy this gadget. All you'll get is disappointment and severe annoyance as Chad did which you'll see when you watch this episode.
