Setting up the MyFlameBoss account and pairing the device with my WiFi was pretty simple and worked the first time. Flame Boss uses the usual set up and configuration process of joining the wifi network of the device from your phone during its initial setup. I previously used a DigiQ DX3 which was an excellent control device but offered no connectivity. Additionally, I was pleased to see that the Flame Boss fan runs at a variable speed which is an improvement on the DX3 which just pulses the fan on and off. Setting up the adaptor on my Big Green Egg Minimax was also very easy. There were three adaptors in the box for different sizes of Green Egg. When I get a larger egg in the future or even a different brand, I'll still be able to use the Flame Boss 400. After starting my Egg's fire and placing the place-setter, I set the app to bring the egg to 225F for a low and slow smoke of some meaty St Louis ribs. It was terrific to see the egg's temperature come up gradually and stay in a tightly controlled zone. As you play with this device, you may want to experiment with where you place the pit probe. I like to control my temperature by putting the probe on the dome roof, rather than the pit. However, I've done it both ways and there is a bunch of chatter about this topic on the egghead forum. I experimented with changing temperature in the app and saw the temperature gently in a few minutes. The principal reason for this purchase was the wifi and internet connectivity. It was terrific to be able to visualize the pit temperature and fan usage percentage on my iPhone, iPad and a browser on my mac. To keep a close eye on the situation, I did an AirPlay from my mac to my large screen TV. Everything worked intuitively, and without issues. It was also helpful that the unit's design is simple. I don't need something with indicators and buttons or separate additional boxes if I can see and control everything I need in an app. In my opinion, the Flame Boss app is way more intuitive than their previous devices with their buttons and LCDs. If you BBQ for a living, you might feel differently. :-) If you've ever used a weber igrill for Bluetooth temperature monitoring, you'll appreciate the ease and convenience of viewing your pit temps on your phone/tablet. However, Bluetooth is quite limited in range and does not provide the Flame Boss useful internet connectivity. After several hours, with everything working correctly, I went out for a long walk, feeling comfortable that all was safely proceeding. 45 minutes into my stroll, I was both surprised and delighted to receive a text message warning me that I had a low-temperature condition in the green egg. Getting home quickly, I saw that the charcoal had burned entirely and that I needed to add fuel. That can be a common issue on small green eggs. It was terrific to get the warning and in a position to take action before losing the cook. On further investigation, I realized that the Flame Boss made it easy to see the emerging fuel condition at least an hour before it became a problem. Earlier, I mentioned that you can watch temperature and fan utilization over time. In the case of running out of fuel, the temperature stayed at a 225 steady, but the fan utilization slowly increased to a constant 100% during an hour. Now to be clear, you don't need to watch the screen or app constantly, but if you look every so often, you'll get a sense of impending trouble. All in all, I'm delighted. Given the newness and lack of reviews, the Flame Boss 400 Wifi might have been a shot in the dark. However, I was glad that it was a very solid out of box experience and first cook. I've included a pic of both the cook graph and my delicious smoky ribs. In the pic, you can see the fuel running out at 4pm, the fan going crazy to sustain the temperature in the hour before, the temperature drop, refueling, and the subsequent temperature recovery. Note that Big Green Egg created a branded version of this device that is only available through their retail dealer network. I am not sure if there are differences between the Flame Boss and Green Egg branded versions. That said, I'm happy with the Flame Boss version purchased and reviewed here. I'll update further if my experience changes. So far, So Good! Review: Great for Kamodo Joe - Just to start off. I am a seasoned Kamodo Bbqer. I have been making food on my large Kamodo smoker for years. For the most part I have no issues with temp control. Where this thing shines for me is overnight cooks. No more BBQ nightmares Aw here the smoker is at 450 with a brisket inside. Or 100 degrees becuase the fire went out while I was sleeping. This thing is incredible. It keeps the smoker within 5 degrees of what ever I set it at. But the best part is the kamodo runs really really efficient and I seem to get many many more hours out of a basket of coal. Issues. Probe registered at 207 in boiling water. Not a huge deal but at the same time how accurate are these probes going to be after several cooks? My done thermometer should give me a good baseline so not an issue Buy it. Worth every penny ## Features - Say goodbye to complicated setups.

I have been making food on my large Kamodo smoker for years. For the most part I have no issues with temp control. Where this thing shines for me is overnight cooks. No more BBQ nightmares Aw here the smoker is at 450 with a brisket inside. Or 100 degrees becuase the fire went out while I was sleeping. This thing is incredible.

My done thermometer should give me a good baseline so not an issue Buy it. Worth every penny ### ⭐ A piece of junk *by G***K on January 31, 2024* While the promise of this product is great, and the design of the app is also excellent, the product itself is completely unreliable. It simply does not connect to your phone. You continually get the β€œunable to connect” error, which I’ve attached a picture of. While this was going on, I was literally within 2 feet of the device, and the device and my phone were literally within 10 feet of an Orbi satellite, which usually provides about 500 MBPS of connectivity. So I know it was not my Internet connection. That was the problem. I spent a half hour on the phone with a tech from the company, and he gave me a dozen different ways to try to connect, most of which I had already tried, and none of which worked. and then to top it off, the phone call dropped, and he never called me back. Meanwhile, I had two racks of ribs on the grill. This is the second product I’ve had from this company and they both have the same problem. Connectivity. The last resort is you have the option of connecting β€œdirectβ€œ but that means your phone connects to this device as your Internet connection, and it disconnects you from your home Wi-Fi. So if you are doing a cook that lasts five or 10 hours, for that entire time, your phone will be unable to connect to the Internet. If you manually change your phones connection and then try to switch back to the app, you have to start from scratch and go completely through the whole process of resetting the device and trying to connect, which will usually end up with you having to connect direct and give up your Wi-Fi access. I am a technology nerd and have been CEO of several mobile technology companies and I have never experienced a product this bad. Unfortunately , I was able to return my second purchase to Amazon, but I would never again buy a product from this company and I would recommend that you steer clear of it unless you want to spend more time trying to connect the app than you would otherwise spend barbecuing whatever it is you’re trying to cook. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smart BBQ Smoker Temperature Controller with Patented Variable Speed Fan, Flame Boss 400 Kamado WiFi with 2 Probes for Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Primo, Grill Dome, Akorn Kamado, Vision Classic - Flame Boss High Temperature Multipurpose Probe - Smart WiFi Thermometer, Flame Boss with 2 Probes for Oven, Stovetop, Gas Grill, Smoker, Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Vision, Weber, Trager, Pellet Grill, Kenmore, GE, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, LG, Bosch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/83305342-smart-bbq-smoker-temperature-controller-with-patented-variable-speed-fan](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/83305342-smart-bbq-smoker-temperature-controller-with-patented-variable-speed-fan) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
