Setting up the BBQube TempMaster Pro takes about 30 minutes from box to a steady 225°F (107°C): mount the grill-specific adapter and fan on your grill's lower intake, clip the pit probe at grate level, light a small load of charcoal, pair the app, and enter your target temperature. Once the lid closes, the variable-speed fan meters airflow for you and holds the pit within a few degrees of your set point for hours — no more vent babysitting.
The whole process, at a glance:
- Mount the adapter and fan on the lower intake vent
- Clip the pit probe at grate level, near the meat
- Load unlit charcoal and add 10–15 lit briquettes
- Insert the food probes and close the lid
- Power on, pair the app, and set 225°F
- Give it 20–40 minutes to climb and settle
What's in the TempMaster Pro box?
Exact contents depend on the kit you ordered, but every TempMaster Pro setup revolves around the same core pieces:
- The controller unit — the multi-probe thermometer "brain" with the display
- A variable-speed fan (blower) with its power supply
- A grill-specific adapter plate matched to your cooker
- A pit (grill air) probe with a grate clip
- One or more food probes
- A quick-start guide
One check before you do anything else: confirm the adapter in the box matches your grill. The adapter is what makes the seal between fan and firebox, and it's ordered specifically for a Weber Kettle, Weber Smokey Mountain, Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Akorn Kamado, or whichever close-lid charcoal grill you run.
How do you mount the fan and adapter on your grill?
Work with a completely cool grill, and clear out old ash first — a choked firebox starves the fan no matter how smart the controller is. Then:
- Weber Kettle: the adapter secures over the bottom intake vent area so the fan becomes the fire's air supply.
- Weber Smokey Mountain
