I am not tech savvy either. You should be able to run the smoker without using the app.  If you get in touch with Steve, ask him to post the wi-fi smoker instructions on the site.
Thanks Sarge!
I'm seasoning it right now, did the 6 step configuration @ 250*, 4 hrs step 1, steps 2-6 at 0 time, 0 temp. (Up to 189* in ~10 min, and smelling soooooo good with 3 chunks Steve sent!)
19 pages total for the new instructions: 7 for WiFi, 12 for the Big Red controller.
I'm gonna send Steve an email instead of calling--it's after hours, and tomorrow is Father's Day, and it's no biggie for the WiFi. I have a strong signal. I'll keep trying to connect; will try my iPad too. May even bring the smoker into the computer room tomorrow morning (or tonight if it cools down enough) to make sure it's trying to connect to my signal, and not one of the neighbors.

I actually replaced my router with a new firewall and separate WiFi access point and redid the connection from phone to smoker without issue.  The smoker can only connect on a 2.4Ghz network and can not even try to connect on 5Ghz.  As long as your wifi network signal is the strongest seen by the smoker it should connect.


Your not so far away I couldn't take a ride up and help you sync them up either.  I work as a systems architect so technology is kind of my thing.

Thanks for the offer! I'm seasoning it now, but the blue light is still flashing! (Trying to connect) I'll keep trying, see message to old sarge above.
I'm going to email Steve and see if he has any suggestions, but really, it's not a 'must-have'. (Would be nice to take lazy-q to the next level though ;D)

That light will probably keep on flashing as long as there is no connection unless you turn off the wifi function.

Sarge:
Any thoughts on how to turn off the WiFi function?

No idea whatsoever. I received the big red a few weeks ago and mounted it on my smoker but work and travel have kept me from really digging into it and getting some Q going. Wish I could help.

Sarge:
No problem! Gonna try lugging the beast inside in a bit and see if that makes the difference in getting connected. iPad didn't work either, btw.
Smoked 3 chicken breasts last evening, SPOG, hickory 'leftovers' from seasoning and 2oz cherry chips. Set up, went inside to avoid the mosquitos. 
Best ever!! Moist, tender, delicious.
Happy Father's Day!

Thanks sarge!
Found out how to reset the device to get a fast blinking blue light (after reading the instructions for the umpteenth time  ::) ). "On the device, hold both the SET key and the Back/Timer key for 3 seconds until the blue LED start blinking fast (4 Hz)"
Did that, now I'm WiFi enabled woohoo!
Almost want to leave it inside away from the heat,humidity, and mosquitos. Almost.
Thanks to you and Jason for the help. Guess a follow-up email to Steve is next.
