Remote control for your Big Green Egg! Remotely manage and monitor cooking temperatures, monitor the temperature of your food, view graphs of your cooks and receive alerts when your cook is finished or when the EGG temperature is too high or low. The EGG Genius app works with an EGG Genius WiFi Temperature Controller to: • Control the device through your smartphone, tablet or computer to remotely manage and monitor the internal temperature of the EGG • Monitor the temperature of your food; view graphs of your cooks • Receive alerts when your cook is finished or when the EGG temperature is too high or low • Quickly reach your desired cooking temperature as the blower ramps up to fan the lighted charcoal; once the desired temp is reached, the variable speed blower automatically adjusts the blower speed to optimize the set temperature. • Automatically lowers the pit temperature to keep your food warm when the cook is complete. • Detects the sudden temperature drop from opening the dome and turns the fan off temporarily to avoid over-stoking the fire. • In the case of a power outage, the unit continues running at the saved set temperature and reconnects to the WiFi network automatically when power returns. • Use up to 3 meat probes at once – additional meat probes with Y-cable can be purchased separately. • Powered by Flame Boss® Big Green Egg® and EGG® are Registered Trademarks of Big Green Egg Inc.
