That is the one .... they are selling for £139 including shipping. hence my interest. can you add wireless probes in future or is it wired only.

Digging further into my need for a temperature controller. The ProQ web site only lists the Wireless variant at £250 ...... which is too much for me. However the SmartFire web site lists only Wired versions (not wireless) ..... but the "Super Summer Smartfire Controller kit" is a justifiable spend at £139 Are these the same software (excl wirleless part) ..... same control, same features ? Can wireless probes be added in future if required ? Is this a modulating fan rather than just on/off After comment about discount ... would 10% discount apply to "Super Summer Smartfire Controller kit" ... if so anybody know how I activate/order. I

Thanks Phil ....... I like the modulating fan approach, its correct way to use a fan in this role. I looked at 'Raspberry Pi' model, and think the learning curve to build it a bit too high for this one off. Looking around at what my options are - yes I'd like the SmartFire - but its £249.95 a lot of money, and not sure I can justify that spend for amount I use smoker. I have looked at this for example .... £190 cheaper. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252226109850 Accept it does not monitor meat temp - but I alreday have a ThermoPro twin probe thermometer for that. I also looked at PartyQ - again less than 1/2 price of Smartfire. https://www.bbqguru.com/storenav?CategoryId=1&ProductId=34 If Smartfire were cheaper - I'd not hesitate to buy, but willing to consider other options if anybody has any to suggest.

Thanks for comments .... bit undecided which way to.go .... SmartFire or a simple PID controller. I do prefer a modulating controller approach, just need to get my head around it being 10x the price. On the ‘Lid open’ function, I agree it’s a good feature, it’s just that a 10min delay to restart control does not makes sense ... maybe there should be a simple ‘re-engage’ option on the App. No change to set temp or other options, just a way to tell controller lid is closed - get going again. Are there any other modulating controllers to consider, I did come across a Raspberry Pi variant, but that it quite complex to build.

Couple of Q’s ... did you feedback to ProQ on lack off bayonet fitting ? If so what did they suggest .... must point to the fan being made for something else. Does the fan modulate, or is it just on/off Did you get any response regarding the 10min open lid delay. (Seems poor, and should be adjustable)
