Extremely worthwhile controller!
As a newbie when it comes to smoking meat, it has been very helpful having the Smartfire controller on the smoker. After some initial struggles to get it to connect to wifi, I got the app updated and it has worked like a dream ever since and has made smoking meat the easiest thing ever. Totally worth the money.
Love this!
Love this app/product! I’m always impressed at how flat it can keep the temps on my Kamado, even in the winter when snowing! Love that I can use the WiFi and go anywhere in my house and not worry about it disconnecting, and I can use the wireless probes! The app just had a UI update which took me a minute to figure out , but it looks great and is pretty intuitive after playing around a bit.
App is terrible
Phone did the update to the new app. Won’t connect to the old smartfire. Guess I’ll buy a BBQ Genius instead of the “upgrade”.
Doesn’t work anymore
The device used to log on to WiFi with much fiddling, but will not anymore. The unit is pretty much bricked, since there are no physical controls on the device.
Why all the great reviews?
Zero success on this thing so far. Connected initially. Disconnected mid-smoke even with Bluetooth in near proximity. Had to reinstall the app and login again. Disconnected again and can’t login anymore. Just hangs. So many expectations for this thing and complete failure. Quality must have gone in the tank reading all these reviews and also online grilling groups.
Time settings and Apple Watch integration
Would be nice to have option of 24hr time selections. While still a very useful app, I would also like to see an Apple Watch app added. The ability to manipulate controller settings of the cook from the watch would be nice. At a minimum, the ability to see temps from watch is needed.
Minor bug fix release - pit temp status
