Know before you buy
While the 6,562-foot range is measured in a line-of-sight setting, the 915MHz radio frequency is specifically chosen for its ability to penetrate walls and obstacles better than standard Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. You can expect reliable connectivity throughout your home and yard, though dense building materials may slightly reduce the maximum distance.
Yes, the Smoke X is fully compatible with the entire line of ThermoWorks Pro-Series probes. If you already own probes from a previous ThermoWorks device, they will work seamlessly with this unit.
The Smoke X features an IP66 rating, meaning it is splash-proof and can handle rain or accidental spills. While it is durable enough for outdoor cooking, it is best practice to keep the base unit protected from heavy, direct downpours to ensure long-term longevity.
The Smoke X has a dedicated port to connect the Billows fan, allowing the thermometer to act as a controller. It automatically adjusts the fan speed to maintain your target pit temperature, providing a 'set it and forget it' experience for long smoking sessions.
The Smoke X receiver is designed for portability and runs on batteries, allowing you to carry it with you anywhere on your property. The base unit can also be powered via USB-C if you prefer using an AC adapter for extended cooks.
The Smoke X uses a dedicated radio frequency, which eliminates the need for a home Wi-Fi network or a smartphone app. This makes it more reliable in areas with poor internet coverage and ensures you don't have to worry about app updates or connectivity drops during a cook.
