Thanks for the review my man. This is one of the few options we have for a reasonably priced temp controller in the UK, I'll be ordering one now I've seen yours in action. Cheers!

[@bigguy1403]

Great video about time someone did a full cook video on it...very informative and nicely narrated i could easily understand every word..

[@5StarGarage]

Thank you! First cooking vid.

[@bricegraham6635]

Just ordered one today…. Super excited to use on my Akorn Kamado!!!! Great video!

[@5StarGarage]

You'll love it. On the top vent just open it a crack. It will maintain temp easy.

[@DonBartal]

Great video! You show the real thing, the way we cook, we use gadgets, not like ones in the ads. I am just getting my device and you helped me decide which one to go for. Thanks. Ps.: a nice house is getting ready! ;)

[@5StarGarage]

Glad it could help!

[@toosas]

a good point about the lid open thing, they either need to do a software update - should be possible to code something like "if temp drops so fast over such a period of time, then it is not a stall, it is the lid open" or just give us a manual override button to stop device from panicking

[@TinoushGTR]

Just got mine. I haven't used it yet but testing it yesterday I found out that if you hold the button it shows pause. I think that's how you can open the lid.

[@raskm45]

Nice job, thanks!

[@I_am-that_guy]

Favorite word in video…commando. You may be rollin’ commando but it’s a Ka-mo-do 🤣 great video, the sky reflecting was difficult to see the screen but could see enough at times. Thx!

[@5StarGarage]

Haha thanks!

[@foraddress7975]

Great review

[@5StarGarage]

Thank you!

[@winstonernst9611]

Nice vid. Also nice Kamado I have the exact same one except I have a woven metal seal between the lid. For troubleshooting if you can't get the device's fan to turn on from the main page make sure you have not selected the control time on in the temperature set up window.

[@toosas]

I think you want alert 10 or so degrees above your target temp so you know the fire is running away, there is no point to alert that it is keeping the right temp :) I have some experience wiht inkbird and the most annoying thing about it is those stupid alerts stacking on top of each other the point where the phone is unusable sometimes. fewer alerts = better. I have ordered this for my kamado as keeping it in the low 190s is tricky for low and slow long cooks, I can maintain ~250F no probs but thats a bit too fast for a low and slow brisket overnight etc. Should be coming tomorrow. Good video all in all!

[@andyw3152]

All sorted. If you hold down the wifi button it will search for a new wifi zone. Also, I have found, if your WIFI supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz, and you have the option, make sure the "Synchronise 2.4GHz and 5GHz Settings" are not enabled.

[@UnitBeerMonsta]

Wicked video! I am designing a case for them now will keep you updated if interested!

[@andyw3152]

Mine turned up. It seems the best thing to do before opening the lid is, turn the fan to manual and turn off while the temps fluctuate.

[@andyw3152]

Great review. You almost want a pause option, so you can spritz the meat, or maybe just wrap with the blower going 100%.

[@5StarGarage]

Thank you!

[@swimadamswim]

Hi there. Can I ask is it easy to remove the plate? I've just realised I'll need access to to the grate on the Kamado Jo Junior to get to the spent ash? I'm guessing you can remove it or does it need.ti be fixed permanently

[@ogdenguy]

Can you please post a close up of how the hose adapter is installed in the bottom tray of the vision please ?

[@5StarGarage]

Message me on Instagram @5stargarage I'll send you some photos.

[@dank9288639]

you find a way to turn off the constant beeping?

[@Flip5ide]

Hey, did you manage to get the beeping to stop?

[@OrionsAnvil]

Looks pretty cool. I know this is a year old but does it have the OK Joe bronco settings?

[@5StarGarage]

It doesn't but you can retro fit it to anything really. Just put the max pit size on the app. It just controls air flow on the coals.

[@OrionsAnvil]

@@5StarGarage hey thanks for the quick reply! I was looking into the pit boss table top pellet smoker for an intro into the "set it and forget it" side of things. But I think something like this suits me better. Thanks again

[@5StarGarage]

Both are good options I think. But with a stick burner you can get more into serious bbq/smoking

[@ashcosmo3854]

Hey man after long time using it how is it ? Mine has just arrived. I'm just seeing if it overshoots the temperature or is quite smart in the way it behaves as it gets close to target temps ?

[@5StarGarage]

It's really good. You just need to let your vents bearly open. If you have too much air, it will overshoot. Once you figure out the vents, it will stay in the range you set it.

[@BK33REVIEWS]

After you got it to temp did you leave your top dial vent open or close I used mine for the first time in my 18 in WSM last week and I couldn't get my temp steady it stayed around 230 to 249 unless I opened the door to get it to 275

[@5StarGarage]

I've noticed I leave my just a hair open. Leaving it open too much and the inkbird over shoots cause too much air. I just did another cook last night 14hr. Started at 10pm and let it do it's thing all night. I didn't get woken up at all. Inkbird kept it steady throughout the night. Very impressed. Lmk if you have any other questions.

[@BK33REVIEWS]

@@5StarGarage thank you so much for the tip I have used it twice before with temps every where but today I have my very first brisket ever on and it's been on for about 5 hours now after doing what you said it has been amazing so far set it and forget it the temps have been almost perfect thank you so much

[@5StarGarage]

@@BK33REVIEWS no problem. It definitely been a game changer for us!

[@rhettpetersen7335]

Reckon it would be powerful enough to supply a offset smoker

[@5StarGarage]

I'm sure it will. It just blows air in the smoke box to raise the heat. I haven't seen anyone fit it on a offset smoker yet but you just need a hole by the wood.

[@ferrugenfish]

Just last week I picked up my neighbor's trashed, rusty but refirbishable offset (U.S.-made somewhere between 1995 and 2004) coal smoker. I'm watching this video looking for a way to modernize it because I live on the 2nd floor and the smoker is on the ground level... would like more autaunomy.

[@chad7956ify]

To stop the fan kicking in just use the pause button on the controller.

[@5StarGarage]

Yeah I found this out later. Been cooking with it every weekend and it's been a champ!

[@blondeguy08]

How do you do this?

[@toosas]

top tip right there, just ordered mine so this will be VERY useful to stop the device from going into panic mode when the lid is up

[@keanuende]

Have you found a way to have it not beep al the time?

[@5StarGarage]

Yeah just raise your max temperature. When it hits that temp it will beep and notify you on your phone the temp has got to high and you need the attend the pit.

[@alenaorlova8395]

Any idea if this will work with the okc bronco

[@5StarGarage]

It could work on anything but you might have to modify the pit. You need access to the coals so you can have the device blow air to get the temperature you want.

[@gallien]

This vid shows a modification on the OKJ Bronco kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXe0nHqle8p3raM

[@BK33REVIEWS]

Will it fit a wsm

[@5StarGarage]

It's kinda universal on some weber pits you need to drill a hole where the firebox is. they sell covers you can install the covers the hole when not using the inkbird.

[@JohnGreyman]

Recipe please?

[@jeffburns1481]

how ya finding this now 10-11 months later- still happy with it?

[@5StarGarage]

Man I use these all the time on long cooks. Brisket I put it on at midnight. Let it roll while I sleep and take over in the morning. Love this thing! No issues yet

[@Joe-kt8nt]

@@5StarGarage did you manage to turn off the beeping? I have one coming for the weekend. I would like to cook through the night without the beep..

[@5StarGarage]

So the beeping is set on your max temperature. So you set your bbq temp, let's say 250° you want to set your "highest temperature" where you want it to beep and notify you it's getting too hot. Like 260° I want it to tell me to adjust. If you are using a Egg style pit the top breather just needs to be a thin small crack opening, anything bigger the machine will most likely over shoot cause it has too much air. Congrats on the purchase. I am putting on a brisket right now. I'll shoot a quick vid in the morning on a update.

[@Joe-kt8nt]

@@5StarGarage thanks for the update

[@drkrueger]

Good quality hardware and nicely designed software but they don't work together well, e.g. with a full basket of charcoal, temp never got to 350 and the fan was at 19 (out of 100). The pit temp and fan kept going down. Another case, target temp was hit but fan was at 100 and pit temp kept going up passed 30 degrees before I shut it off. Buyer beware.

[@andyw3152]

Does anyone know how this connects to the internet, my only guess is, the device must be send data to the Inkbird site which you are connected to via the app.

[@5StarGarage]

Connects through wifi. I'm sure it goes through inkbird server to send you the information

[@andyw3152]

@@5StarGarage I'm sure it does, and that would explain internet access, but none of this was detailed in the instructions. A very useful tool, so much better than using BT.

[@farva75089]

WHAT IS THIS TFL????

[@sizzlewithrhizzle3193]

I am trying to use for the first time. Got it in BBQ mode. Set grilll at 329. Grill dropped the 314 but fan never turned back on. Am I doing something wrong?

[@5StarGarage]

Hmm make sure it's in auto. There is also a manual mode where you turn on your fan at your own speed. You could try manual just to confirm fan works. But in auto if it drops even 2° the fan should kick on.

[@sizzlewithrhizzle3193]

@@5StarGarage so it’s brand new. The fan was working in auto mode. I unplugged the two temp probes to switch them cause I had them reversed in the wrong ports for grill clip (ambient) and meat probe. As soon as I unplugged the temp prob the fan stopped. And hasn’t turned back on. It had gotten into manual mode. Still couldn’t get the fan on. But I also got it back in BBQ mode (auto) and still no fan. It had fallen to 264 while fiddling on a 325 setting and no fan. Even pressing the controller actually knob button and setting the fan up still no fan. No fan at all.

[@5StarGarage]

Try unplugging it and have it start back up with the probes in the right place and see if it resets and works.

[@sizzlewithrhizzle3193]

@@5StarGarage I did that earlier. But only a few seconds. I may try and give it 5 minutes off. And then plug it back in

[@5StarGarage]

@Sizzle with Rhizzle sorry it's giving you problems. Once it's figured out it's a great tool!

[@blondeguy08]

Mine overshoots by 20+*F every time. Also every time you open it the fan goes 100*. Kinda annoying

[@5StarGarage]

Yes if you open the fan goes 100. You can pause it but that turns off the temp screen. I usually unplug the hose before I open and let the temp equalize before connecting again. It's a flaw but I think the pros out way the cons. If you have trouble with Temps close your vent more. I just have mine open a hair. Hope this helps!

[@djraymo]

Dude ur dont use that thing to heat up ur kamado ceramics needs slow temperature increasement if u do throw hot coles in them ur ceramic can break wtf

[@ashcosmo3854]

LOL you think this small fan will break the ceramic inside a Komado ? You realize cracking the bottom vent will increase temps faster than this thing ever would

[@updatename6637]

And all ashes blown on meat 😂😂😂

[@5StarGarage]

I did notice that one time. But it was because I didn't clean out the ashe trey in a while. I also use it to get the coals hot for a sear. I put the tube right on top where the fire is at gets it hot quick. Kinda like a dragons breath attachment.

[@markrottjakob2670]

That screen jumping around is annoying.

[@Scythe1337]

Looks like a BBQube Tempmaster clone . . . Or its just a generic piece of Chinese manufacturing that anyone can buy and brand in bulk.

[@christophermoore831]

I read that BBQube sold this version to Inkbird. They are nearly identical minus the wifi on the BBQube. BBQube includes cable/probe storage spools.

Things I can’t stand in KZbin videos a person that is well spoken, this guy is ok, and people that don’t really know the product, I don’t want to hear the phrase “I think” the second time he said I think I stopped watching.
