Yeah the Smoke has a remote unit using wireless (not bluetooth, so it actually has some reach) that comes with it. You can also add a gateway that connects to the wifi and an app where you can monitor temps of however many probes you're running. App isn't beautiful but it works. Handy when I'm doing a long cook and need to go run an errand or walk the dog or something. Someone is always there watching it in case something catches on fire, but usually less than reliable about temp monitoring and management ;-) It's not a cheap package, but it works beautifully and the probes last a long time and there's a million different options. I've run through Mavericks and others and this is the only one that's lasted.
