INKBIRD ISC-027BW Bluetooth 5.1 and WIFI 2.4GHz BBQ Temperature Controller, Automatic Smoker Fan Controller, Grill Thermometer with 4 Probes Compatible with Kamado,Big Green Egg,Joe, Primo, Grill

I bought this as I was having trouble maintaining temperature on my aldi mini kamado with just the vents. It comes well packaged and with a good quality carry case. I was worried about the adapters fitting my kamado due to its size. I used the smaller one with the matching tab on to fit the vent opening. It was a little too tight so I had to prize one edge of the vent slider wider so the tab would fit in. This worked well for me so may work for other mini kamados too. The unit itself is pretty basic and all functions are controlled by the app which is very easy to use. I noticed that the fan kicks in slowly and increases speed as the temperature drops which stops the temperature increasing rapidly. After setting up, I had a small brisket on the kamado and wanted to keep the temperature at 135°c for smoking. The cook took around 4 hours. The temperature stayed between 130°c -143°c throughout the entire cook. I'm very impressed with that as the temperatures in a mini kamado can fluctuate rapidly. I really can't fault this temperature controller, it just works and its very efficient at what it does the app is very good I am very happy with my purchase, and I wish I had got one of these sooner as I've just made the best brisket I've ever had. For the price, it's worth every penny.

Been after something like this for a while, Inkbird was a decent price so took a chance. Works brilliantly, connects to my WiFi extender by my Kamado Joe which is running 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands and despite some reviews suggesting temperamental WiFi or only connecting to just 2.4GHz, I've had no issues and it's connected automatically without fail. Done a couple of slow and low cooks so far and it's kept the internal temp rock solid for all cooks. App is really to use and great temp tracking graphs of all four probs over long cooks. Only one thing I'd say is missing in the app is some form of "ETA" of the meat reaching temperature but other than that, very happy with it so far! Would recommend!

I have done a couple of cooks now and cannot fault it. The unit comes in a really smart soft case with foam cut-out spaces and sleeves to store the unit, probes and vent adaptors safely. The trickiest part (for me) was fitting the adaptor to my Louisiana Kamado. For those who have this Kamado, use the big adaptor vertical and slide it in from the left. (It is tight) I also bent the slider tab to 90 degrees to ensure I have a good seal with miniscule gap. If you've used other inkbird products you'll find the app pretty straight forward but I would recommend you play around with the unit plugged in and having a play first. I had no issues connecting the unit to my wifi and the connection remains solid and I have not had any drop of connection. (I use a Netgear mesh system to have wifi across my whole garden) The fan kicks in when you drop below your set temp and will start slowly gradually increasing to boost the airflow over the coals and will shut down when the set temp is reached again. I have not had the fan go over 50% and that was at the end of a 12 hour pulled pork cook and the charcoal was getting a bit less but worked great! Great product that I have happily recommended to friends and I am very happy with my purchase.

Little messing around to get it connected to wifi, I found slow flash worked first time but repeatedly trying the recommended fast flash just kept failing. Once connected its happily staying connected to my wifi whilst its outside. I used this with a kamado bono grande ceramic bbq. I did use one of the shims to just trap the adaptor a little tighter to the bbq but it all fit OK. I smoked some pork on an 8 hour cook at 135C. It held the temperature within 2 degrees the entire time, very impressive. Some others mentioned having problems when opening the lid. You need to hold the knob down a couple of seconds when you are opening to stop it going mad as the temp drops, not really the fault of the device, it doesnt know the lid is open. Once you close it, give it a minute or so and turn it back on. Had no issues with this personally. Would definitely recommend if you want to do some long cooking on the bbq, not sure I’ll use it as much if I just want to smash some burgers, but for joints of meats, low temps held to 2 degrees, genuinely surprised how good it is.

Once you get this set up it's great, however depending on your network tech skills it can be a bit of a pain to set up and connect to your wifi network. It works on a 2.4ghz wifi network and will not connect if you have a dual band 2.4/5ghz network. You will have to disable your 5ghz option and then enable it again after, easy enough on some routers but some can be a pain on others. Great product, will give it a more in depth review once I have given it a proper use, I have only fired it up for an hour to test it out. Awesome packaging, well padded case with spaces for everything and easy to fit back in again after use. Different fitting options for various BBQs. Few downsides: Only two meat probes (plus air probe) so if you're doing a large cook it's not ideal. It's mains powered, maybe not great for damp British summers, I got myself a AA powered 12v battery pack but not to sure how long the batteries will last. The app is great and has a range of standard size BBQs but if yours isn't on the list it might have to work a bit harder to maintain the temperatures.

Lätt att installera och använda. Den var mycket bra på att hålla den inställda temperaturen. Det negativa var väl att kolen brann närmast fläkten. Så man får lägga mer där i framöver.

Ich habe mir das Gerät für meinen Monolith Classic Pro 2.0 besorgt. Zugegeben, der Grill läuft auch so ziemlich konstant aber bei richtigen Long-Jobs muss man doch hin und wieder nachjustieren um die Temperatur zu korrigieren. Mit dem Smoke Controler kann man sich beruhigt schlafen legen und den Grill laufen lassen. Die Installation erfolgt einfach über den Schieber der Luftzufuhr unten am Grill. Hier werden 2 verschieden große Adapter geliefert, welche alle Grillgrößen abdecken. Das Gerät verfügt über 4 Steckplätze für Temperaturfühler. Einer für Garraum und 3 für das Grillgut. Angetrieben wird der Smoke Controler über einen USB-C Anschluss. Das passende Kabel und Stecker sind im Lieferumfang enthalten. Ich nutze für die Stromversorgung eine 10000 ma/h Powerbank, da ich in meinem Garten keinen Stromanschluss habe. Im letzten Test habe ich in 20 Stunden Betrieb gerade mal 1/3 der Powerbank verbraucht. Die Steuerung erfolgt über App und WIFI. Das Einrichten der App und die Verknüpfung mit dem Gerät funktioniert relativ leicht. Auch wenn die Bedienungsanleitung nur auf englisch ist, ist sie doch leicht verständlich und mit Bildern hinterlegt. Von der App aus kann man dann die Temperatur einstellen und von überall als steuern. Sinkt die Temperatur unter die voreingestellte Temperatur, so fängt der Controler langsam an Luft in den Grill zu pusten und sorgt somit für mehr Sauerstoff, was wiederum dafür sorgt, dass die Temperatur wieder ansteigt. So hatte ich über 20 Stunden eine Temperatur von 106°-110° im Grill. Der Ventilator ist dabei kaum zu hören. Einziges Manko: wasserfest ist das Gerät leider nicht.

Werkt perfect! De ingestelde temperatuur blijft perfect behouden. App is heel overzichtelijk. Heb het gebruikt op een Kamado Joe, wel de ventilatiekap bijna helemaal dicht zetten.

Deze pit-controller, is compact, spatwaterdicht en doet zijn werk perfect. Ik heb wel de adapterplaat moeten aanpassen om hem soepel te kunnen plaatsen en verwijderen uit de luchtinlaat van de kamado. Omdat hij via het Wi-Fi netwerk is te raadplegen en aan te sturen heb je bij lange kooksessies constant controle over het kookproces en ben niet gebonden aan de BBQ. Je kan gerust boodschappen gaan doen, ergens op bezoek gaan of gewoon ‘s nachts in bed liggen. In vergelijk met andere pit-controllers is hij het geld meer dan waard. Top!

Using it was very easy. One thing that surprised me was that the fan is not regulated in rpm speed but in on/off time - but it's doing it's job.
