No, but I had a lot more trouble controlling mine without my controller set up. It took a while to obtain the adapter I needed after getting my smoker. I used the temp sensor without the fan. Found myself having to adjust it a bit more than I'd liked (mainly b/c it was pretty far away). The temp controller helped make it a near zero-effort situation beyond set up & cleaning
