This is a meat thermometer with Bluetooth. It neither breaks your grill if it ever stops being supported nor does it talk directly to the internet (although the app might of course. but Bluetooth typically can be reverse engineered)

Ahh, this definitely is a missing part—"Weber iGrill" does not conjure to mind a meat thermometer unless I put my marketing glasses on!

Oh, if it's bluetooth only that's not terrible, but why then their app registers http://* intent?
