Simple app with potential
I have the pellet grill/22” griddle combo #2022. Setup was easy and updating the smoker’s firmware was smooth. The app works, but man are they missing some easy win opportunities here. Integrate recipes that can set time/temp variables, have a chart that plots temp over time (we track the stall, ya’ll!), alerts could be better, and I’d love to be able to see the same info in a web browser on my desktop while I’m working from home. It’s been 5 months since an update, Blackstone! Chop, chop!

What Happened?
When I first downloaded this app it was pretty bad, basically useless. I could get an accurate temperature reading but only after rebooting the app. Then it got better, the temperature alerts were very helpful. With the last update it’s gone back to how it first was for me, basically useless. Not receiving alerts on reaching temp for the smoker or the probe, have to force close and reopen it to get it to work. I think I’ll move on to a third party temperature monitoring setup.

Okay app
Works to set and actively monitor temps. Would be nice if you could set alerts if temp falls below a threshold for long sessions.
Not trustworthy
This app is constantly disconnecting from the grill and making you have to change from Wi-Fi to a different connection. You cannot trust the temperature that it’s cooking at and honestly, you guys need to update it to make sure it’s more trustworthy.
Have to initiate a new WiFi connection every time I plug in the smoker.
😠 Have to initiate a new WiFi connection every time I plug in the smoker. Would also like to have the app work with the Apple Watch. Once I connect it works just as it is supposed to.
