How It Works 

Because your smoker is Wi-Fi enabled, you can send and receive 

information to or from it anywhere you have an internet connection.   

Basically this is how it works: 

1.  Your smart device sends information through the cloud to your 

smoker.  

2.  Your smoker sends information back through the cloud to your 

smart device so you can see your cooking status/progress from 

anywhere.

Char-Broil’s SmartChef products use the DADO™ platform to 

connect your grill/smoker to the internet.
