The Primo Plus/Smartfire App

There are two Apps, the Primo Plus App and the Smartfire App. They are extremely similar, so we'll just show you some of the important screens/functions from the Primo Plus App.

The Home Screen:
The following screen is what we'll call the "Home" screen for the App. This is the screen that appears when you first start up the App. The screen is rather busy and has a number of things that display depending on the current state of things. We have dissected a representative version of the screen for you:

Graphing Options:
As we showed you above on the Home screen, there is an area of the display dedicated to graphs. You have six options for graphs: Hidden, Active probes, All probes slider, Pit & Fan slider, Pit & Fan stacked, and Combined graph. To select the graph option, tap on the circle that has four vertical bars in it. Here are the options:

1. To select a graph option, tap on the circled icon with four vertical bars. You will get a small dropdown that allows you to select an option.	2. This is the "Hidden" option. As you can see, there is no graph displayed in the graph portion of the display.	3. With the "Active probes" option, you get a small graph of temperature versus time displayed with each active probe.	4. This is the "All probes slider" option. The graph area will automatically scroll through all the active probes as well as the fan.

5. With the "Pit & Fan stacked" option, the graphs for the pit probe and fan are "stacked" one above the other.	6. This is the "Pit & Fan slider" option. With this option, the graph area scrolls through just the pit probe and the fan.	7. Finally, this is the "Combined graph" option. All the graphs are combined into one graph.

When displaying a graph, you can tap on the various plots and a small bubble will pop up giving you the value being graphed at that point. In the following two images, we have turned our phone sideways and tapped on the pit temperature line and the blower line:

Pit Setup Screen:
If you need to configure your pit probe and/or cooker settings, you need to go to the Pit Setup screen:

1. To access the Pit Setup Screen, tap on the entry for the pit probe.	2. Here you can turn the fan control on or off (green fan icon or button at bottom), set the target termperature, set low and high alarms, give your controller a nickname, configure the type of cooker you have, and set the alarm sound. Click on the little flask icon to go to the advanced settings.	3. On the Advanced settings screen, you can configure the Smart Air option and the Open Lid Mode setting.

Food Probe Setup Screens:
If you want to configure the settings for your food probes, you need to go to Food Setup Screens:

1. To set up a food probe, tap on the entry for that probe on the "Home" screen.	2. Here you can select the type of meat (Beef), the cut, doneness, give the probe a nickname and view cooking recommendations.	3. The food probe setup screen for Chicken.	4. The food probe setup screen for Lamb.

5. The food probe setup screen for Pork.	6. The food probe setup screen for Fish.	7. The food probe setup screen for Other.

The following table lists all the choices you have for cuts and doneness for each type of meat. Each selection will provide a suggested cooking temperature which you can adjust if necessary:

Type of Meat	Cut of Meat	Doneness
Beef	Brisket	Slow & Rest 1hr Hot & Fast
	Pastrami	Wet cured Slow & Rest 1hr Hot & Fast
	Ribs	Rest 1hr Hot & Fast

	Pulled Pork	Low & Slow Hot & Fast
	Ribs	Rest 1hr Hot & Fast
	Roast	Ready
Fish	Salmon	Rest till ∼145F
	Whole	Ready
Other	Food	Super Low Low Medium High
	Secondary Pit	Low Medium High Danger

Other Miscellaneous Screens:
There are two other screens that you will probably encounter while using the Primo Plus/Smartfire, the Recent Cooks screen and the Preferences Screen:

1. Tap on the red circle with three black dots.	2. Tap on the "Recent cooks" icon.	3. Recent Cooks: Here you will see a list of recent cooks. Tap on any entry to see the cook.	4. You will be presented with all the relevant data for that particular cook. Tap on the "Edit" icon to edit the cook.

5. Edit Cook: On this screen you can change the title of the cook and give it a rating.	6. If you tap on the "Preferences" icon, you will be taken to a screen where you can set some options.	7. Preferences: Here you can select the temperature units, whether or not to auto-sort the probes on the "Home" screen, and the text size.	8. Get Support, Wireless Probes, Device Info: Finally, this "Welcome" screen gives you access to screens where you can get support, configure wireless probes, and view device into.

Access To Raw Data

Some users find it useful to access the raw temperature and blower data so they can graph it themselves and possibly do some sort of analysis on it. At present, access is not provided to the raw data.

Amazon Echo/Alexa Support

The Primo Plus/Smartfire controller does not support Amazon Echo/Alexa or Google Assistant.
