Everything from the first email to customer services to delivery was fantastic. The cable does exactly what it is supposed to do - worked perfectly with my FireBoard 2.0 and the fan!
I love my new fireboard 2. I was current user of the flame boss and guru controllers and in my opinion there probes can not come close to fireboards. I am stoked to use it at my next bbq competition out here in the Pacific North West. Thanks for a great product fireboard!
Ive used the Fireboard 2 Drive for several years now. The probes do not last much more than a year when used about 5-10 times a year. I’ve purchased the competition probes as well with the same result. The ambient probe is also prone to failure. For about the past year I’ve been using Thermoworks and Chef IQ. These probes do not seem to fail like Fireboards do. I think someone needs to go back to the drawing board. Probes are way too expensive to fail this rapidly.
The fireboard works great after I got the cable that was needed for the masterbuilt gravity feed 800. It would have been great f there would be verbiage that states that the blower won't mount on the MB. Ater a few emails and found out it won't work then I had to wait another week to get the cable.
I’ve been looking for a hand held meat thermometer for a long time and my search is finally over. This thing is a Beast! So many possibilities for my cooks now. I also own fireboard 2 pro and love there compatibility. Good job!
I purchased a used Kamado Joe classic 2 in 2018 and the person had an original fireboard with the small lcd screen that I purchased also and it has been serving me well for 6 years. I liked mine it so much that my dad bought a fireboard 2 pro and he is now a convert to fireboard. I had contemplated buying the fireboard 2 pro also but had numerous probes that I use with the fireboard 1 and decided to buy the fireboard 2 drive as it didn’t need the drive cable and was able to use my original temperature probes.
I still use my fireboard1, but had to buy a new drive fan with an acquisition of a used Komado Joe Big Joe that didn’t like the flapper door on the old version of the fan, it needed to oriented in a position that left the flapper door open and temperature spikes were a problem. The new slide damper solved the temperature spikes. I love the larger readout’s on the fireboard 2 and my friends enjoy being able to watch my comments and the cook live that I send them from the app.( especially if they are invited to the feast later).
Ordered additional Ambient probes to monitor my LSG. Purchasing was easy, quick and my order was delivered quickly. FireBoard is an amazing group of folks to deal with. Recommend FireBoard to anyone and everyone!!
This did not fit my Char-Griller smoker. I sent it back to be replaced. There should be easy to understand documentation on size. The description used (1/2" NPT) is not a well known standard. The size of the bolt is about 3/4" wide. I wish the cord sleeve was more substantial. Probes are always getting kinked and tied together.
I was referred by a friend that was using the FireBoard but after my first two cooks I am hooked and a huge fan. The accuracy of the probes and the user friendliness of the unit is superior to anything else I have tried. The app and synchronization with the unit and phone was super simple. I am looking forward to the new wireless probe.
I have a Slow N Sear Kettle and rotisserie attachment, which requires the adapter. I put the SlowNSear charcoal holder opposite the blower and put the drip tray in between. You could probably set it up to blow right into the charcoal.
I almost always use the FireBoard Blower for all of my cooks. I’m 6 years into a stick burner smoker and making awesome BBQ but newer to charcoal grilling and the primary goal of temp control is easy with the blower. The control module gets the grill up to temp fast without overshooting. It has helped me learn the combination of bottom vent and top vent settings to maintain 350, 375, 400, etc. I would 100% buy the blower again.
I haven't had the chance to use my new fireboard bundle. I will be using it next weekend at the https://www.discovernwbbq.com/events/get-fired-up-for-the-7th-annual-hudson-bay-heritage-days-bbq-cookoff-in-dupont-wa-listing-115-7886.aspx. I hope to do a video and share it with the fireboard staff and community. Thanks!
Enjoying the new upgrade. My only critique is directions are a little light. Maybe a instructional video of a normal cook, walking through how to properly set up and operate the controller. I’m still very happy with support and very happy with my purchase.
Bought the pro 2 to controll my new gravity series smoker. I have used it on multiple cooks and it has worked flawless. This is my 3rd Fireboard.
I needed to build a simple mount it install into my MB800. Have had two perfect and easy cooks
The system worked well. Maintained a stable temperature which could be monitored by the app. Ready for a real cook tomorrow.
I purchased a new garage refrigerator for large items like brisket and turkey. The Beacon transmits thru the fridge wall and a brick wall. My other sensors wouldn't do that. It monitors the temperature and gives me peace of mind. Unexpectantly, I also know how the fridge cycles, what cold colder and coldest means, and have a log of when my beers were pilfered (I'm not proud of that). A great product.
I love the fireboard so much I now have 2, my only complaint is the new one I just bought came with a defective charger, the power block does not work. That being said I have not tried to get it replaced because I’m using a spare block I had. Other than that it’s great.
Took a bit to hook up to my MB800 and had to fabricate my own mount to install the Fireboard fan. But seems well worth it. Maintains temp well.
