the app won’t find my grill during bluetooth setup, the light just keeps blinking blue.

— asked by Taylor

Quick answer: The grill's Bluetooth module is in pairing mode, but the phone cannot discover it due to distance, interference, or a software state issue.

Diagnosis

The grill's Bluetooth module is in pairing mode, but the phone cannot discover it due to distance, interference, or a software state issue.

How to Fix It

Follow this sequence precisely. On the grill controller, press the Menu button. Navigate to Settings > Bluetooth. Ensure it is set to ON. On your phone, go to Bluetooth settings and forget any previous "Camp Chef" device. Force close the Camp Chef Connect app. Reopen the app and start the "Add Grill" process. Hold your phone within 3 feet of the grill controller.

If That Didn't Work

Perform a controller reset. Power the grill off. Unplug it from the wall. Wait 60 seconds. Plug it back in and power on. The Bluetooth module will reinitialize. Repeat the pairing steps.

Heads Up

The grill's Bluetooth has a very short range, typically less than 30 feet in ideal conditions. Walls or other electronics can reduce this significantly. Use the app primarily for monitoring, not long-range control.
