best little piece of kit
Trick for new player, when you clean it, make sure it is gleaming, polished clean on the head. If there is even a stain on it, it won't charge. Temperamental little thing like that.

Yes, best advice can give. I've been caught by this a couple of times. Annoying as fuck.
Cooked a 2kg pork loin roast for 10 people on Sunday. Recommended time to cook was 2 hours 30 mins, using Meater it took just under 1 hour 30 mins & the pork was juicy, soft and absolutely fantastic.
Word game changer is used too often, but the Meater 100% genuinely is.

Wait a minute, the meater won't make your meat cook faster right?

No. It makes you cook things the right time.

Do you need another meater probe to monitor the pit temperature? I use an inkbird. Cheap but accurate, they have 4 electrode slots so I can measure.pit temp and 3 different cuts

Not sure we are on same wavelength. Above reads you are looking at a professional setup, whereas the Meater is for home cook hacks.
Shove the Meater in the thickest part of what you are cooking. Set up what you are cooking. Take it out and rest it when it tells you to. Eat it when it tells you to.
Done.

Meater gives you ambient temp as.well as meat temp
Brisket I did with it was perfect

A plug here for Thermapen. Fast, reliable temp readings for meat, beer, baking, etc. Good temperature probes change the game for cooking
A quick read thermometer and a multiprobe thermometer for BBQ are really important. They are gamechangers

Another vote here for Inkbird, I have the IBT-6XS and it works an absolute treat. Can take up to 6 probes, I have 3 plus the pit temp probe.
Previously I have used the iGrill and a Smartfire. The Inkbird was cheaper than both and works better than the iGrill.
If you have or are buying a Kamado Joe, then I would be looking at the Smartfire. It has a blower/fan with attachment for the KJ as well as the standard probes, control unit plus app. The blower/fan slides over the lower air intake part of the KJ
The cool thing about this is, that when it detects your temp getting low, it starts the blower fan and helps you maintain pit temp without having to get up off the couch or out of bed to adjust the vent. Makes the KJ almost completely set and forget.

I was thinking about the masterbuilt for my next BBQ (although my akorn is far too well built for my liking). But I'm not sold on the mechanised aspect, and the potential problems that go with it. I use a tip top temp on my akorn, but if I upgraded to another kamado I think I'd consider smartfire
-
the longest cook i ever did on the Joe was 10 hours and once i had the temp right at the start, i didn't adjust the vents again the whole time. it just sat at the right heat all fucking day

actually the hardest thing is NOT playing with the vents, just to tutu and feel like you're doing something...
