Matador Meat Thermometers for Australian Barbecues

The Matador Bluetooth Smart Thermometer MAT15 is the most versatile option for monitoring meat remotely. The MAT14 suits quick spot checks, while the M207 reads cooking surfaces rather than food interiors.

Brand overview

A Matador meat thermometer can cover remote barbecue monitoring, fast food checks or contact-free surface readings, depending on the model. The Matador smart meat thermometer works with the Matador BBQ App and two wired probes; the folding MAT14 is the simpler choice for direct readings, while the M207 infrared model is designed for hotplates and other cooking surfaces.

Models at a glance

Best for app-based remote monitoring

Matador MAT15 Bluetooth Smart Thermometer

Its probes remain wired to the transmitter, and Matador states a maximum operating range rather than an obstacle-tested range.

Best for direct checks at the grill

Matador MAT14 Flip Tip Weatherproof Thermometer

It cannot track a cook remotely and must be inserted for each food reading.

Best for checking cooking-surface temperature

Matador M207 Infrared Thermometer

Infrared readings show surface temperature, so this model does not replace a probe for checking meat internally.
