Features & Capabilities

EGG Genius is a remote control app for Big Green Egg owners, enabling you to monitor and manage temperature remotely via smartphone, tablet, or computer. It works with the EGG Genius WiFi Temperature Controller to display real-time temps, view cook graphs, and receive alerts when the cook finishes or temps are outside range.

Key capabilities include auto-adjusting the blower to reach and maintain the target temperature, keeping food warm after cooking completes, handling dome openings to avoid overshoot, power outage resilience, and support for up to 3 meat probes (additional via Y-cable).

User Reviews

Users report Egg Genius used to be reliable, delivering hands-off cooking via a solid app and hardware. Recently, widespread connectivity, stability, and data-retention issues dominate reviews. Frequent disconnections, crashes, and broken features after updates, plus a forced minimum temperature of 140°F, frustrate users, with many losing cook history and struggling to troubleshoot. Overall, software reliability has significantly degraded from earlier versions.

Pros

Historically reliable and easy to use—the system worked well for years
Enables hands-off cooking with remote monitoring/control
Sturdy hardware build and perceived good value

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues: the device frequently disconnects and requires resets/re-adding
Updates cause major instability and bugs, breaking features and connections
App crashes frequently and is unreliable; requires restarts
Forced minimum temperature of 140°F, preventing low-temp cooking
Loss of cook history/data after updates and poor data retention

This Egg Genius is a POS - it is a hassle every time I use it since the beginning. Constantly having to add it back to the app and never works. Do not depend on this if you plan on smoking.

I’ve had it since 2018, and for some stretches it worked great - but now there’s always an issue. The alerts aren’t reliable, the fan is impatiently trying to raise or lower the temperature too quickly. It’ll eventually blow out my coals if I don’t catch it. I have a medium egg and sometimes it feels like it’s trying to oxygenate an XL running full blast - then all of a sudden it’ll stave the flame until it’s out, then flood it again with full fan to try and recover eventually blowing it out. There was a time when I could use it almost like an oven, now I feel like I’m probably better off going old school and just using the vents. The egg can be pretty consistent over a long cook with just the vents, but the egg genius - not a chance anymore. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it now. Maybe there should be a setting for different sizes? They need to get it going again, that’s all I do know.
