# 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)    | **V Prime Set** | [Set up your V Prime](/v-prime-set/v-prime/set-up.md) |
| One Stick + a slim stackable charger (no screen, no buttons) | **V Core Set**  | [Set up your V Core](/v-core-set/v-core/set-up.md)    |
| Two Sticks + a base with an **LCD screen**                   | **V Duo Set**   | [Set up your V Duo](/v-duo-set/v-duo/set-up.md)       |
| A Stick + a hub **plus a separate wired probe on a cable**   | **V Forge Set** | [Set up your V Forge](/v-forge-set/v-forge/set-up.md) |

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](/legacy-products/legacy/meatstick-4-and-chef.md)
* **MeatStick / Mini** (the original wireless Sticks) → [MeatStick and Mini](/legacy-products/legacy/meatstick-and-mini.md)
* **The MeatStick (2018)** (the first-generation Stick) → [The MeatStick 2018](/legacy-products/legacy/meatstick-2018.md)
* **WiFi Bridge** (the add-on box that gave older Sticks cloud range) → [WiFi Bridge](/legacy-products/legacy/wifi-bridge.md)
