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.
One Stick + a single-Stick base with a button (no screen)

Got a fan that mounts on your charcoal cooker's air intake? That's MeatStick Blow, which works with the V Forge Set. See Set up your Blow.
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
Still not sure? Fill out a ticket in the app with a photo and we'll identify it for you.
