INKBIRD BBQ Temperature Controller Compatible with Kamado,Big Green Egg Joe | Automatic Smoker Fan Controller, Grill Thermometer, Compatible with Kamado,Big Green Egg,Joe, Primo, Grill ISC-027BW

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.

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.

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!

The feature set appears good, and it comes with a set of three meat probes and a pit probe. It has wifi connectivity via a cloud based app, with failover to Bluetooth for local (non-cloud) control. It was easy to set up the phone connection (Android), and there is an iPhone version of the app available. Unfortunately the weather has been terribly wet and stormy so I have been unable to give it a full test start to finish, but everything so far looks good. I bought this to replace an iKamand which went out of support and stopped working entirely. This device appears more stable and holds solid connectivity at the same location in the garden where the iKamand was a bit intermittent. It is not a Kamado Joe product, therefore does not quite fit the Kamado Joe Classic III out of the box. I've had to MacGuyver an inlet adapter which wasn't too big a job, but it may fit other models in the range.

I bought this as it will run from a power bank and as I live in a top floor flat I have no power in my garden where my BBQ is. The controller comes with it's own carry case that also contains the probes, vent attachments etc. The controller is very easy to use and is controlled via the Inkbird app. on your phone. It was great to be able to just set it and forget it, I was able to chill with friends whilst the unit controlled the temperature on my Kamado. All I had to do was occasionally check my phone to see what was going on. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone 😀

My two criticisms of this are as follows: 1: the instructions are crap. It took a bit of guesswork getting it setup on the egg itself. 2: the 2.4hz is outdated. Update it to include 5G which most networks are nowadays otherwise it is a real faff to set it up on wifi. Other than that, the fan and app are great. The temperature reading is about more accurate than the dome air reading you get from the egg and I love that I can link it to food I’m cooking. I have used it to cook chicken, ribeye, chateaubriand, brisket and short ribs all to perfection over various hours of cooking. I’m currently using it with a power bank until I get a power feed to my kitchen and it’s great with that, barely reducing the battery even over a number of hours of use. The open grill alert is a bit wonky, which causes the fan to turn off sometimes, so be aware of that and just flick the fan back on after you’ve dismissed the alert.

One thing I didn't read was this needs a power supply at all times which isn't great. Wish I'd got one with a battery installed.

I used the INKBIRD blower for the first time recently when cooking some beef ribs on my Kamado Joe BBQ. Installation was simple. It just slid into the bottom air vent gap with the spaces provided. The app was also easy to install and I had no issues connecting it to my WiFi. The first cook was going to take 6 or 7 hours and I had to go out for a couple of hours so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to use the INKBIRD to control the temperature. After lighting the BBQ I set a target temperature of 215f and left it to stabilise . After 30 mins the temperature was spot on and it stayed like that for the duration of the cook. I used the grill temperature probe and 2 food probes on this cook and using the app I was able to check the temperatures on all 3 probes when I was away from home (3 miles away). All in it did a great job.

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.

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.

Ich setze das Inkbird ISC-027BW seit 2023 an meinem Nette Lette 16" Long Offset-Smoker ein. Vorher hatte ich immer wieder mit unsauberer Rauchentwicklung und schwankenden Temperaturen zu kämpfen. Mit dem Grillventilator brennt das Feuerholz deutlich präziser ab: weniger Rauch, eine stabile Temperatur und ein sauberes, gleichmäßiges Glutbild. Im Lieferumfang sind vier Sonden enthalten – ein Garraumfühler und drei Einsteckfühler – dazu diverses Anschlussmaterial für gängige Longjob-Grills wie Smoker und Keramikgrills. Der eingebaute Lüfter passt seine Drehzahl automatisch an und hält die Zieltemperatur sehr konstant. Praktisch für den Smoker-Einsatz: Das Gerät läuft über USB-C, sodass man es bei Bedarf auch problemlos an einer Powerbank betreiben kann, wenn keine Steckdose in Reichweite ist. Die Steuerung über die App (Bluetooth und WLAN) funktioniert hervorragend, ist schnell eingerichtet und intuitiv zu bedienen. Die Sondengenauigkeit liegt bei ±0,5 °C, und es gibt einen Hoch- und Niedrigtemperaturalarm. Der Alarm erinnert rechtzeitig ans Nachlegen von Holz, sodass ich deutlich weniger kontrollieren muss. Für mich ein echter Gamechanger, der das Smoken noch entspannter macht, als es ohnehin schon ist. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt: Die Kabellänge der Fühler kommt öfter an ihre Grenzen. Da aber Standardstecker verbaut sind, lassen sich problemlos alternative bzw. längere Temperaturfühler anschließen – damit ist das gut in den Griff zu bekommen. Kleiner Tipp: Wenn der Garraumfühler nicht eingesteckt ist, läuft der Ventilator nicht. Das ist kein Fehler, sondern so konstruiert, da der Fühler für die grundlegende Steuerung erforderlich ist. Fazit: Präzise Temperaturregelung, durchdachte App und eine ehrliche Arbeitserleichterung am Smoker. Klare Empfehlung.

Voor mijn luie kamado-held, nou hoeft hij het nog minder in de gaten te houden.

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.
