As a Dad, nothing beats a weekend of grilling, family time, and perfectly smoked ribs. But let’s be honest—grilling is an art, and like any good artist, I rely on my tools. Thanks to Dobson Fiber’s fast and reliable fiber internet, my backyard BBQ setup has gone high-tech, making it easier than ever to grill like a pro. From precise temperature control to real-time monitoring, here are four WiFi-enabled grilling tools on my wish list that would take my BBQ game to the next level.

Dad’s BBQ Wish List:

  1. MEATER Block Smart Meat Thermometer
    No more standing over the grill poking at meat to guess if it’s done. The MEATER Block is a completely wireless smart meat thermometer that connects to my phone via WiFi, giving me real-time temperature updates. With Dobson Fiber’s fast speeds, I could monitor my brisket from anywhere in the house, whether I’m watching the game or chasing the kids around the yard. https://www.meater.com

  2. Traeger Ironwood 885 WiFi Pellet Grill
    This isn’t just a grill; it’s a high-tech BBQ dream machine. With WiFIRE technology, I could control temperature, set timers, and adjust smoke levels right from my phone. Paired with fiber internet, I’d never have to worry about lag when making adjustments—every setting change would happen instantly, giving me perfect results every time. https://www.traeger.com

  3. Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub
    Even my classic Weber grill could go digital. The Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub turns any grill into a smart grill, offering step-by-step cooking instructions, real-time temperature monitoring, and alerts to flip or remove meat. With reliable internet, there would be no delay in getting alerts, so I could multitask without overcooking a thing. https://www.weber.com

  4. Flame Boss 500 WiFi Smoker Controller
    Low and slow smoking requires patience, but with the Flame Boss 500, I wouldn’t have to babysit my smoker all day. This WiFi-enabled controller automatically regulates airflow and temperature for perfect, consistent smoking. Thanks to my fiber internet, I could check my smoker’s status remotely, whether I’m running errands or just kicking back with a cold drink. https://www.flameboss.com

With the power of Dobson Fiber’s fast and reliable connection, I could focus on what really matters—spending time with family, enjoying great food, and perfecting my BBQ game. Because let’s face it, being a dad means mastering the grill, and with the right tech, I’d always be in control of the flame.
