Betjeningsvejledning

The Egg Genius provides automated temperature control and monitoring for your Big Green Egg.

1. Starting the Cook:
   • Ignite your charcoal in the Big Green Egg as usual.
   • Allow the grill to reach approximately 75% of your target temperature before engaging the Egg Genius. This allows the charcoal to establish a stable burn.
   • Once the grill is approaching the target temperature, activate the Egg Genius via the app. The variable speed blower will adjust to bring the grill to the precise set temperature.
2. Temperaturovervågning:
   • The app displays real-time temperatures for both the grill (pit probe) and your food (meat probe).
   • View graphs of your cook progress within the application.
3. Advarsler:
   • Receive notifications on your smartphone or tablet when your food reaches its target temperature.
   • Get alerts if the grill temperature deviates significantly from your set point (too high or too low).
4. Automatiske justeringer:
   • The blower automatically adjusts its speed to maintain the set temperature.
   • When the dome is opened, the unit detects the sudden temperature drop and temporarily turns off the fan to prevent over-stoking the fire.
5. Hold varm funktion: Upon completion of the cook, the Egg Genius can automatically lower the pit temperature to keep your food warm until serving.
6. Power Outage Gendannelse: I tilfælde af en magt outage, the unit is designed to resume operation at the last saved set temperature and automatically reconnect to the WiFi network once power is restored.
