Good news. The gateway will work with your Smoke. From ThermoWorks / Smoke / More Info:
6. When Smoke Gateway (Wi-Fi Bridge) comes out will it work with my existing Smoke or do I need to buy a new Smoke base unit?
Smoke Gateway will work with your existing Smoke when it becomes available. You will not need to buy a new Smoke. Smoke Gateway simply retrieves the wireless transmission from Smoke and pushes it to your Smartphone.
JPGators17 I'm sorry to say that unless they already built the WiFi radio into the unit (which they may have if they knew it was coming soon but I wouldnt bet of it) you will have to get the next generation of Smoke to get the WiFi and app capability.
Oh Im a bit slow the gateway is an add on device!! I figured it was just a feature the new ones would have built in. Ok so as usual I'm wrong! (happens all the time lol) very kool deal.

JPGators17 - Hahahahahahaha. Wait until you feel like you have a fever. I'll bet she puts that Smoke thermometer to good use. And you think her response time is slow now?
In case it isn't common knowledge, I just noticed that the Smoke thermometer features list says "COMING 2017 - Smoke Gateway (Wi-Fi) & Smartphone App" at the bottom.
Coincidentally, I am currently at work and having to get temp updates on the chuck roast I'm smoking from my wife, who's at home, via text message right now. She's not exactly thrilled about the temp checking requests, and I'm not thrilled with her slow response time, so this will be a welcome addition with my MCS!
Anyone know if the original units can be adapted, or will Wifi capability only be built in to the next generation of Smoke?
