CONNECTING TO THE SMOKE IT® APP
Follow these instructions on how to connect your grill to the Smoke iT® app with your Android™ or iOS® device. The app will allow
you to control and monitor your grill and meat probe temperatures from your mobile device. Enjoy the benefits that Smoke IT®
mobile connectivity has to offer!
1. Download the Smoke iT® app. Open the app and allow Bluetooth® to be enabled for setup. New users will need to create
an account and follow the prompts to login.
2. If you are within Bluetooth® range (9 m / 30 ft), the Smoke iT® app will automatically detect your grill. Select your grill
model. If you do not see your grill on the screen, ensure your unit is connected to a power source and is turned on.
3. Name your grill model (ie. My Smoker) in the app and select "Connect" at the bottom of the screen. This will save your
grill model in the devices menu.
4. From the devices menu, click the grill model to connect. This will show you the control board screen.
5. Click the settings option (gear) in the top-right corner, enter your Wi-Fi credentials, then click the check mark at the
bottom of the screen to connect. Now both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi (cloud) icons will show on the devices menu, showing
that the grill is connected.
While using the app, the screen will shine bright when the grill is active and connected. If the app screen or grill goes
dark on the devices menu, check your wireless connection or power source.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBES
• GRILL PROBE
Located inside the pellet side of the grill, on the left side wall. It is a small, vertical piece of stainless steel. The temperature
probe measures the internal temperature of the grill. The temperature that we get from this probe is displayed as ACT on
the LCD screen.
IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly affected by ambient outdoor weather, quality of pellets used,
flavor of pellets, and the quantity of food being cooked.
• MEAT PROBE
The meat probe measures the internal temperature of your meat in the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Plug-in the meat
probe adapter to the meat probe connection port on the Control Board and insert the stainless-steel meat probe into the
thickest portion of your meat and the temperature will be displayed on the control board. The temperatures that we received
from this probe is displayed as Probe (#). To ensure the meat probe is connected properly to the connection port, feel
and hear it snap into place.
NOTE: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid direct
contact with flame or excess heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run the excess wire out the hole
located on the left side of the main grill or the top of the main grill (near the grill lid hinge). When not in use,
disconnect from the meat probe connection port and place aside to keep protected and clean.
