For some barbecuing is an art, for others, a science. For that latter camp, tech company Combustion Inc has developed two high-tech products. Their Pitmaster Bundle consists of a large, easy-to-read temperature gauge with a digital readout, and a manual dial that drives their Combustion Engine, a wireless, rechargeable blower that you attach to your grill or smoker's exterior, near a vent or air intake.

The dial in particular makes me think of classic Braun products.

The gauge links to the included wireless thermometer, and can provide readouts of both the grill/smoker and whatever piece of meat you've got the thermometer stuck into. You can order extra thermometers and monitor up to four pieces of meat, in addition to the grill/smoker itself.

These are new products that won't launch until later this summer. Buy-in isn't cheap: The bundle goes for about $500, though they're currently taking pre-orders for $467.
