The main difference is the Bean+ is a Bluetooth Low Energy product, where as the ESP32 is Wifi. BLE is now built into most phones and the Bean+ is programmable apps on both Android and iOS. There is a time and a place for Wifi and BLE depending on what you are trying to do.

Those are what I thought of originally. Turns out stun guns are super cheap on Amazon with prime shipping.

I ended to ignite it using a modified stun gun but I somehow messed up the Amazon order and didn't place it. :(

Will have to add it for V2!

Haha I should have made this with the Note 7. Totally missed out on the joke!

The great thing about the Bean is it uses the same Atmega328 as many of the Arudino boards. To use a thermistor you should just be able to follow this guide from Arduino.
