In the best tradition of bbq I just use a cheap inkbird. But a WiFi capable one would be cool
This one is bluetooth, but if you leave whatever device its connected to (I use an old smartphone without a SIM) also connected to your home WiFi, it can then broadcast the cook to any other device with the Meater app via the cloud. So I can check the temperatures even when away from the house on my main phone. It's pretty handy.
I haven't yet got to the nerd apex of buying one of the robotic arm things that moves the bottom vent automatically to keep temperature...
I know someone who has internet connectivity and can adjust temperature. Almost unfair
That's not barbecuing, that's science.

Yeah. I have a thermostat on my bbq in the form of a biometal coil, so still feels analogue

What's that black diode looking thing on the uncooked seasoned photo? I've just been told I am doing Beef Rib for Fathers day (Father-in-law)
They wanted brisket but your photo and comment reminded me how much I prefer rib
Its a "smart" bluetooth temperature probe called Meater, one of these: www.meater.com
The app produces the time series of internal and ambient temperature I posted. Really good piece of kit, albeit fairly expensive for what it is.
I was wondering if that was a meater temp probe. They are hugely successful after taking a while to get off the ground.

So, the wife found a Slow Cooker in TK Maxx for 20 quid, so giving that a debut today. Picked up a 1.3kg of Brisket on Saturday morning and applied an extremely generous spice rub on it then in the fridge for 24 hours. Yesterday, we decided to go out for a Sunday roast, so it got a solid 48 hours instead.
Anyway, just put it in, fried it off lightly first to get some colour & then placed it on some onion halves & poured in about 500ml of beef stock (previously used when I steamed a brisket in the oven for 4 hours). Lid is on. Coleslaw ingredients & brioche buns all ready for later. Will look at some spicy BBQ sauces to serve with it whilst working today. Fingers crossed!

@MajorRage post coital photos please
And this is why proper punctuation is important.

Well I can see why there is a huge culture around pit masters, bbq etc in the states. It was pretty damn good, and surprisingly little work really.
However, you can taste there are so many ways to pick it up to the next level. And, at the end of it, one if the best beef stocks known to man! Served in homemade bbq sauce with some coleslaw on a brioche.
Next time I think I’ll Asian it up a bit. Some star anise In the cool as well as a bit more spice (perhaps Thai chili) will be a winner.
7/10 with so much upside on that 3.

Ingredients
Good bacon
Soft white baps

Method
fry bacon, until crunchy on the edges but maintaining meatiness in the rasher and a good amount of fat is rendered
remove cooked bacon, place sliced bap face down in bacon fat to pan fry and absorb all the fat, this will leave a nice crispy layer

@mariner4life jesus that's some radar you have that you can "spot" baps 1 second after I had posted, very impressive.

Son got me "Tom Kerridge Best Recipes" book for my birthday. Got a whole heap to things to try out over the coming cooler months.
Wife was asking me what it was about the big man that I like. And I had to think about it for a while - his recipes look nice, but are nothing ground breaking. So I think it comes down to the having a pint rule. I watch lots of programmes and try a few chef's recipes. But with the exception of the late great Gary Rhodes, I can't think of anybody I would like to actually have a pint with.
But then Tom Kerridge, absolutely would.
