Predictive Thermometer + Display + Booster
This is to let you know what’s working well, what’s not (and what we’re doing about it), and what’s up next for Combustion tools.
We're always looking for ways to improve our products, and that doesn't stop when you get it.
Firmware updates (to the onboard software) are how we can make our products better and better over the life of the tool.
The Predictive Thermometer already is the most advanced cooking thermometer ever built (not exaggerating), and we’re not even done yet. Stick with us, you’ll see.
If you run into a snag, please check the help center.
If you don’t find the answer you need, email us.
Firmware
The most important functions of the Predictive Thermometer are software-controlled — there's a remarkable amount of computing power stuffed in there. It makes all kinds of important calculations, including predictions.
The more cooking data we feed into our algorithm ( Predictive Engine), the better it gets. Our new Predictive Engine is better than the one from a month ago (and the next one will be even better).
It also means we can add new features like advanced cooking predictions, without having to rebuild anything. New firmware is like getting a free upgrade to your hardware.

How to update firmware (CPT, Display, and Booster)
You'll need the "Combustion Inc." app to apply firmware updates. Links to each are in the footer of this site.
Please update your tools one at a time (e.g. do the Predictive Thermometer first, then the Display).
First of all, you’ll probably see an “update” banner (or two) on the main screen. Tap it! Then let it happen. That’s all.
Otherwise, follow the usual steps:
- Open the Combustion Inc app
- Tap the Combustion logo (or "..." for settings)
- Tap 'update devices'
- Tap the tool you want to update
- Wait for the update to finish
- Repeat 1-5 for any other Combustion tools
- Recharge your device(s)
NOTE: A Booster will not update if it's currently holding a Thermometer (that turns its radio off).
Troubles?
If the update does not complete, close the app and re-open it.

Added USDA Food Safe (major feature) - enter protein and serving time, the CPT will automatically notify you (via the app) when your food reaches the USDA recommendations for food safety according to user-selected “simplified” (temp) or “integrated” (time at temps) standards.
(previously)
Changed "standby" behavior to support moisture-rich cooking scenarios like sous vide.
Thermometer will no longer immediately enter standby if placed in an unpowered charger.
Thermometer will immediately enter charging-mode/standby if placed in a powered charger or Booster.
Prior to this update, a thermometer would enter standby if the charging post (on the butt of thermometer) was shorted to the tube.
This could happen by accident if a conductive material (like water or meat juice) formed a bridge.

Hardware
We pushed the limits of what is possible, and some of those limits pushed back. Real-world testing revealed some limitations in the physical product - stuff we didn’t discover until we had more people cooking with different appliances in a wider variety of different ways.
Some of these issues can be fixed, but some are bumping up against the laws of physics and thermodynamics and we just need to work around them.

Standby-mode Predictive Thermometer battery life
Newest models (Summer 2023 or newer): 40-50 days standby
Other models (Before Summer 2023): 30 days standby
Early models (Dec 2022): 17 days standby
Any Predictive Thermometer in a Booster: up to 6 months standby
With early models, we discovered a power leak during standby mode, which cuts standby time down to two weeks (from four). It’s a small but significant leak.
The best answer for this problem is the Combustion Booster, released in Summer 2023. The Booster has its own battery (a strong one) that can maintain a thermometer in standby mode for up to 6 months. With a Booster, you know your thermometer is always ready to cook!
Without a Booster, charging up the thermometer after it’s been in the drawer a couple weeks is probably a good rule of thumb.
(Personally, I got in the habit of topping mine off with a 5 minute zap on any day I’m going to use it. Not ideal, but you probably won’t ever notice if you’re using it regularly. Edit - and now I have a Booster, so I don't even think about it.)
With software and hardware improvements, the next iteration of the Predictive Thermometer saw a significant increase in standby life.
The newest version of the Predictive Thermometer includes a new type of battery. It required a minor hardware adjustment, but made the battery last significantly longer in standby and during active cooking. Progress!
Signal strength and heavy metal grills
Rec-tec defeated us. Sort of.
(If you didn’t know, they’re a brand that builds grills that weigh about the same as a battleship.)
The thicker the metal, the more it blocks radio. Even a strong transmitter (like the one inside the Predictive Thermometer) inside a bomb-proof 10-gauge plate-metal enclosure is going to have signal issues.
A Predictive Thermometer inside one of these monster grills can get a weakened signal through – though reception depends on the proximity and orientation of the display.
We plan to release a set of universal rabbit ears that will mount to any smoker or grill (just kidding --- unless??).
For now, we sussed out a different way to make the most of mostly-blocked signals.
Thankfully, the Predictive Thermometer is doing the heavy calculations, so an intermittent connection is enough to keep your Display up-to-date.
And even though this ties your display closely to the grill, you'll be able to use it as a range-booster and track your progress on the app from much farther away.
Or you can use the Booster near that monster grill and place your Display where you normally would!
Either repeater gets you another 100m (330ft) of potential signal. So unless your bomb-proof grill is also in a bunker, you should be freed up a bit.
More about RF and Bluetooth and MeatNet on the main FAQ ("All about wireless").
Apps
Even if you don’t plan to cook using an app, you’ll need it in order to update your firmware (it’s bone-simple to do so, we promise).
The app shows you temperatures in and around your food, and let you know when your food will be done.
The apps also unlock an important feature of the Combustion Display (or Booster): the Range Extender. When using the display or booster + app, total BLE strength is best-in-class.
In non-ideal conditions, it's plenty strong for almost any set-up.
If that's not enough, you can use MeatNet™ Cloud to extend your range as far as the internet reaches.
You'll need to create an account in the app, in order to connect remotely and label your cook data (for later use by you!).
With this cloud sync service, you'll need either:
- A Combustion accessory with onboard Wifi (WiFi Booster, WiFi Display, or Giant Grill Gauge)
- 2 "instances" of the app running - one to bridge data from the BlueTooth network to the cloud, and the other to view it.
More details here.
We intentionally kept the app very streamlined. It won’t push ads or recipes or other content at you.
No fluff.

Android v1.0.1
The Predictive Thermometer companion app lets you see the temperatures (core, surface, ambient) and predictions from your Predictive Thermometer, as well as set target temps, even from another room.
As long as your Combustion Display is within range, your app will function as a receiver and secondary display, extending the functional signal range - up to 300ft (90m). This is fabulous for those of us who live in old houses or decommissioned missile silos.
Another practical use is when you’re cooking inside some radio-resistant metal enclosure like a heavy-walled grill or smoker. No problem! Place the Display near the cook to relay the signal and keep tabs with the app from a goodly distance.
App Features:
- Use with Predictive Thermometer and/or Combustion Display (timer)
- Use with Combustion Display to boost signal up to 300ft (90m)
- Set target “cook to” temperatures and view “ready in” cook-time predictions
- Tells you when your food is ready
- See key temps: including core, surface, ambient temperature
- Update firmware: better performance and new features for the Predictive Thermometer and Display
- No accounts or sign-ins required
App-related questions
Q: When will the app be available?
A: Now!
Q: Where?
A: In the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). Links are in the footer.
Q: What’s it called?
A: The app name is “Combustion Inc.”
Q: Does it work on tablets as well?
A: Yes, indeed.
