Advertisements

Possible Causes

Disabled Bluetooth on control board, Interference from other devices, Failed wireless module, Outdated app or firmware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Wireless troubleshooting does not require opening the smoker; keep it unplugged if not heating.

  • Verify app and device: Ensure your phone/tablet Bluetooth is on and the Char‑Broil app is updated.
  • Reset pairing: Follow the manual to clear existing pairings on the smoker (often by holding a specific button combination) and re‑pair from the app.
  • Reduce interference: Move the smoker and phone closer together and away from other wireless devices.
  • Module replacement: If the smoker never appears in the app and other devices work fine, the internal wireless module or control board may be faulty and require replacement.
