Which MeatStick do I have?

Not sure which one you've got? Start here — it points you to the right setup guide.

Is it a V Series?

The current generation is the V Series. Tell-tale signs: a ceramic handle (dark charcoal or smooth blue-gray), a USB-C base or charger, and pairing through the MeatStick App with no separate WiFi Bridge box.

Your set has…	You have a…	Set it up
One Stick + a single-Stick base with a button (no screen)	V Prime Set	Set up your V Prime
One Stick + a slim stackable charger (no screen, no buttons)	V Core Set	Set up your V Core
Two Sticks + a base with an LCD screen	V Duo Set	Set up your V Duo
A Stick + a hub plus a separate wired probe on a cable	V Forge Set	Set up your V Forge

Telling the two V Series Sticks apart: the V Prime Stick has a dark, faceted charcoal handle; the V Core Stick has a smooth blue-gray handle. The V Prime also reads cook-environment (ambient) temperature on its own; the V Core focuses on internal temperature.

Is it a legacy MeatStick?

If your thermometer came with a separate WiFi Bridge box, uses replaceable batteries in the charger, or is a few years old, it's a legacy product. They're still supported in the app — head to the section that matches yours:

• MeatStick 4 / Chef (the generation before V Series) → MeatStick 4 and Chef

• MeatStick / Mini (the original wireless Sticks) → MeatStick and Mini

• The MeatStick (2018) (the first-generation Stick) → The MeatStick 2018

• WiFi Bridge (the add-on box that gave older Sticks cloud range) → WiFi Bridge
