Know the
temperature.
Trust the cook.

Turn your wireless meat probe into a grill thermometer.

Barbican holds a compatible probe at grate level. Track pit temperature in the app you already use—even when the food can’t hold a probe.

For grillers who already own a compatible wireless meat probe.

Know the grill, not just the meat

Good food.
A better read on your grill.

Keep an eye on pit temperature without piercing a premium cut, forcing a probe into small food, or letting a large roast distort the ambient reading.

01 / NO HOLE

Leave the steak intact

Monitor the grill while keeping a premium cut exactly as you planned to serve it.

02 / SMALL FOOD

Measure around wings or kebabs

Use the probe for pit temperature when the food is too small or awkward to hold it.

03 / CLEANER AIR READING

Keep the sensor off the roast

Place the ambient sensor at grate level instead of beside a large cold mass of food.

How it works

Three steps.
Same system.

Barbican gives the probe you already trust a stable place on the grate while leaving its ambient-sensing end exposed to grill air.

  1. Insert the probe

    Seat a compatible wireless probe in Barbican to its safety notch.

  2. Set it on the grate

    Place Barbican where you want to understand the grill’s ambient temperature.

  3. Monitor the same app

    Read pit temperature using the probe and app already in your cooking setup.

Straight answers

Questions before you buy.

Why use Barbican instead of a potato?

MEATER recommends using a potato or apple to protect the probe’s internal sensor when measuring grill temperature. Barbican gives you a purpose-built, reusable holder that stays at grate level cook after cook—without sacrificing food—and keeps your probe clean.

How long will Barbican keep my probe’s internal sensors safe?

In testing at 400°F, Barbican kept a probe’s internal sensors below their manufacturer-specified maximum temperatures for at least three hours; a potato did so for about one hour. For longer cooks, monitor your probe’s internal sensor temperatures in the app and replace Barbican’s water if any sensor approaches the probe manufacturer’s maximum temperature.

How does Barbican avoid the cooling effect from meat?

Cold meat and evaporating moisture cool the air immediately around your food, which can make an ambient reading appear lower. Barbican holds the probe away from the meat at grate level, so it measures the cooking air where you place it instead of the cooler pocket beside the food.

Can I use Barbican in an oven or on its side?

Yes. Barbican works in an oven and can sit upright or lie on its side, so you can place it wherever it fits best while keeping the probe’s ambient sensor exposed.

Does Barbican include a wireless probe?

No. Barbican is the reusable adapter only. It is designed for people who already own a compatible wireless meat probe.

Does it replace my probe’s app?

No. Your existing probe and app provide the temperature reading. Barbican gives that probe a stable ambient-temperature position on the grill.

Which wireless probe ecosystems work with Barbican?

Barbican works with MEATER, Typhur, ThermoPro, ThermoMaven, Weber, Ninja, The MeatStick, Napoleon, GoveeLife, ChefsTemp, Combustion, FireBoard, CHEF iQ, INKBIRD, and more.
