Billows® BBQ Temperature Control Fan Kit (with Damper)

Precise smoker control, without constant vent tweaking.

SKU:TW-1600-KIT

$89.00
In stock

Billows is an automatic BBQ control fan that keeps your smoker at a steady target temperature — without constant vent adjustments or fire tending. Paired with a compatible ThermoWorks controller (RFX GATEWAY™, Signals™, Smoke X™, and ThermaQ® 2), Billows regulates airflow into your smoker, increasing or reducing oxygen as needed to maintain consistent heat throughout long cooks.

Once connected, Billows takes over the hard part of low-and-slow cooking. It brings your smoker up to temperature quickly, stabilizes heat with minimal overshoot, and helps recover faster after opening the lid. That control translates to fewer flare-ups and more consistent results over long cooks, whether you’re smoking brisket overnight or running a long weekend rib cook.

Includes Billows Damper which lowers Billows air flow by restricting CFM, has 16 adjustment stops to fine-tune your cook to give greater control over Billows functionality

  • Hold Steady Heat Automatically: Maintains consistent smoker temperatures without manual vent adjustments.
  • Faster Heat-Up, Faster Recovery: Quickly reaches your target temp and rebounds after lid openings.
  • Built for Long Cooks: Keeps temperatures stable for hours, even during overnight smokes.
  • Works With Your Controller: Compatible with Signals™, Smoke X™, RFX Gateway™, and ThermaQ® 2.
  • Fits Most Smokers: Adapts easily to common BBQ fan openings with optional mounting kits.
  • Handles Outdoor Conditions:: Weather-resistant housing stands up to long cooks and changing conditions.
  • Precise Airflow Control: Reduces overshoot and temperature swings common with manual venting.
  • Hands-Off Air Flow Control: Delivers true flavor without constant fire babysitting.

Reviews

Works as it should

"Works well and I trust ThermoWorks and their precision. I migrated from an old Flameboss. Setup with the billows was a little non-intuitive as my instructions didn’t specify that you have to plug the fan probe into channel 4. I also find the alarm settings overly aggressive to my liking."

— Michael W. (4/5)

Does what it says and does it well.

"Finally got to try my new Billows on a 6 hour cook. It was flawless. Held temps beautifully, and let me adjust them as needed from my phone or thermoworks cloud. Temps never went greater than +/- 7 degrees and I had a ton of fuel leftover from the efficient burn. Super easy to set up, super easy to run. I'll be using this a ton in the future for sure!"

— Ryan D. (5/5)

This product works very well.

"This product works very well. I like the fact that it connects to my RFX as well. The only reason it doesn't get a five star is because there are so many cords to connect. If you can solve the cord issue on v2 then this would definitely be a five star product."

— Ricky G. (4/5)

"Tried it on my first cook (smoked bologna) and needed to speed up the cook so I got to test it holding at 225, 250, 275, 300. Increasing the temp caused it to push to the new temp in about 8-10 minutes and hold steady there. Works great!"

— Thomas (5/5)

After about a half hr

"After about a half hr to get happy, it did an amazing job holding 225 on my egg."

— tim k. (5/5)

Absolutely Amazing!!!

"I really enjoy this billow for temperature control of my Old Country Gravity Feed, BBQ Smoker however I'm still learning this peace of equipment, and sure there is still more to learn. Thank you for the eye opener."

— Tyrone J. (5/5)

Billows makes smoking easy

"Great control of cooking with the Billows"

— Mary S. (5/5)

It works great! Holds temperature

"It works great! Holds temperature for a long slow cook."

— Scott N. (5/5)

Great Fan!

"Easy to hook up and use. The 1. 5” connect or does not thread properly. Only turns 2x and stops. I tried another adapter and it threaded fine so the angle of the thread must be different or incorrect. Everything works ok but it seems like it is not matched correctly."

— Scott D. (5/5)

Works Great

"Easy to install and setup. It did a great job with controlling the temperature on my kamodo style smoker for about 12 hours while smoking a brisket. Highly recommend."

— Scott G. (5/5)

Q&A

Is this a variable speed blower?
No, Billows does not have a variable-speed control. It does automatically manage a few things, such as pulsing when the temperature being read is close to the set temperature.
Does the pillows BBQ controller work on Pit Barrel smokers
Yes!
I was cleaning my Weber kettle and as I was cleaning supplies and water come out of the Billows attach to my grill. Did I ruined it?
Not likely. Give it a few days to dry out and try it again. Let us know if you need additional assistance.
