Can the Sparkfun ESP8266 Thing be connected to an Arduino Uno? If so how?

Goal: I am trying to create a wireless meat thermometer for my grill/smoker. I am using an Arduino Uno and the Sparkfun MAX31855K Thermocouple with a Type-K connector. I have the thermometer working with a serial LCD display, however, my ultimate goal is to make it send the data to Blynk.

Thanks!

Why do you want to connect the ESP8266 with Arduino? This microcontroller can operate autonomously. If you want to use it together a good option would be to do it through I2C.

You can also use Arduino UNO to program an ESP01(https://programarfacil.com/podcast/como … i-esp8266/) but I tell you that it is best that it works autonomously.
