EGG Genius

This device is awesome. It very accurately predicts the temperature several minutes ahead of time and adjusts its fan speed accordingly. The online custom URL is by far a better interface than their phone app. I use IOS, and I have to say the app is super lame and presents as an early 2000's app. Changes do not stick. There is no graphing, etc. If you were hoping for anything close to Meater's online food probe app, you will be severely disappointed.

BUT, if you take advantage of their custom URL for your cook, that experience is awesome! It allows you to track your cook far more effectively than the somewhat lame phone app.

Summary:
Buy this! Especially if you are a new greenegg user. The control of the egg is amazing! (Hint: start early so all the ceramics heat. up).
BAD: the IOS app is super lame and glitchy. A pain to use.
GOOD: The Web based graphing function is AWESOME.

So, just plan to use your laptop, and not your phone, and you will be good to go!

Wow, this thing is great! It brings my Q to a whole new level. Works VERY well, no issues at all. The app (for iphone) is easy to install and connects well. This device is well worth every penny.

I bought the Genius to replace the cyber Q. The cyber Q is complete junk btw. This is a great piece of gear. Easy to install. Effortless to use. I live being able to share my cooks with my son in law in Texas.

The Egg Genius is fantastic. Keeps constant temperatures even in the middle of winter. A 16 hour low and slow cook is now easy. No need to adjust the vents every 30 minutes or so. If you do low and slow this is a must have. Totally worth it.

Although the previous reviews were good, I was still steptical. Bought my genius on July 3rd and have used it twice.......one comment on this device; GAME CHANGING. Maintains temp better than my oven. Really impressive. The app also makes it easy to monitor, although there isn’t a need to. Amazing. Worth EVERY dime, if you’re into low and slow cooking. Lastly, the technical support is incredible.

Down load the update software program before you try to use this. I was ready to return it as it was useless and I was very irritated that I had just wasted $ 229. I ran into the description on line and after watching twice I realized what they were telling me. 15 minutes later I realized I had almost made a big error. This thing works great.

I had a DigiQ II and it worked really good but I decided to pick up an Egg Genius for the wireless connection and I made the right decision. The ease of setting up makes me use it all the time, not just for low and slows. It keeps the temperature exactly where I want with zero hassle.

I have had it for a week now and first cook went pretty well. Down loaded the the latest firmware update 3/30/19 and smoked a brisket. It preformed flawless. Update fixed a couple of hiccups experienced during first cook. Thanks for update. FYI It also works great on my iPad. Love the Genius

My wife gave me this xmas after owning a Large Egg for a year and this works amazing. A must have \! I smoked a Brisket overnight for 16 hours and the EGG Genius kept the temperature at 250 all the times. The temperature swing from 248 to 252 over the 16 hours cook. The app works great as well and it even know when you open the EGG so it put the EGG Genius on hold until you close the EGG again.

I just purchased the Egg Genius to cook a prime rib and smoked turkey over the holidays. I did a trial run to set up WiFi Alexa and see the temperature controls in action. Set up was easy to be honest. The grill reached my target 250 and I reset to 240 using Alexa. Worked very well. After about 3-4 hours was at 240 then spiked a little but reverted to 240. The app sent a message to the phone.

I used this for the first time to smoke a brisket. Outside temperature was 19 with a windchill of 0. The genius performed flawlessly. There was ice on it when I took it off the grill. It never missed a beat. I don’t miss the $200+ I paid for it.

Mine arrived this morning. Down loaded the ap, instant connection, could not have been easier. Put on a angus chuck roast. Perfect, effortless. Why slow cook without it.
