What’s the best wireless Bluetooth thermometer for my smoker?

Although I love my Masterbuilt Gravity charcoal smoker, the app sucks. I bought a TempSpike Bluetooth one but that won’t reach from the inside of the smoker to the inside of my house. What’s a good quality long range thermometer that can penetrate the metal of my smoker and house walls, if that even exists?

I have a Meater, I think it's the 2.0 version. It's fine if you keep your phone close. I think the readings are a bit off because I check with my Thermapen One and they differ. I trust the Pen much more, but the Meater gives you a good idea where you are.
I don't think the bluetooth/wireless tech is there yet. Others may have had better success and YMMV.

I had some not great luck with wireless ones with apps so I got a Thermoworks Smoke - has a little digital wireless receiver instead of a phone app. Accurate and dependable like you would expect from Thermoworks.

I’ve liked the Meater 2. First one sucked.

They typically run great sales all the time.
ThermoWorks currently has a sale on the 4 channel smoke x long range in Black or pink for $139.00.
If you really want to get a signal everywhere you can step up to the ThermoWorks signals that runs off of wi-fi. They have a Memorial Day sale currently running (18% off).
The Classic Thermoworks Thermopen 1 in gray is also on sale for $59 if anyone is interested.

I setup my TempSpike this weekend. I placed the base unit about 3 feet from the smoker and my phone displayed the reading while I was in the house.

My Meatr is garbage, my back patio is about 15ft from my grill and it loses connection so often that I've quit using it as much.

Get anything from Thermoworks

I had a ThermoPro and didn't like it. Would constantly lose connection and the battery life was not good.
I junked it and got a Meater Plus, which works fine. Leave the base unit near the grill and no problem getting a read from inside the house. Battery life and connectivity are no problem.
Only downside with the Meater is that it was continually beeping at me to inform me of things I didn't need to know. With the volume turned way down, though, it works great.

I like my Meater.
I keep it connected to my iPad which usually sits on a table which is the closest to where my grill is on the back patio (20-25ft away) and it never has issues with the connection. From there, I just use the phone app and I can check the temp anywhere. Home, work, if I run to the store. It is great.
