My girl got me a Fireboard 2 for our anniversary. I am stoked. She didn't know to get the Drive version but I ordered the cable I need to drive my Pit Viper fan an it'll be here Tuesday. I considered buying the Fireboard fan too but held off for now. I do want to have 2 active controllers with fans eventually.
Can anyone explain the adapters required for my setup? I have a Primo XL and Weber kettles. What's required to fit the Fireboard fan to my grills?
I still after a summer of using them, love my fireboards the probes standup far better then my experience with other brands. I still want to get a third fb2 and another pit viper, if you do decide, the pit viper adapter for a kettle is the ticket!
Thanks Richard - I'm still just three cooks in to my SnS kettle, after not having used a kettle or charcoal for a couple of decades, so it remains to be seen whether it even needs automation. Behavior has been rock-steady in my first three runs; clearly more data are needed, and I'm just the dweeb for the job.

Interesting. I wish the apapters we're less expensive (and the shipping). I need a couple more adapters for kettles. Maybe I won't pick up the Fireboard fan.
I forgot to mention she also got me the "extreme probe pack" and the magnetic holder. I can't wait to smoke the chuck roast defrosting right now after I receive my drive cable tomorrow.
I'm doing my first cook driving the fan. I'm sitting in my client's parking lot waiting for the meeting and I'm happy to be able to check in on the chuck roast I have smoking away at home. Until today I used a web cam to check in on my old controller. To be fair that worked very well, but this is definitely a nice step up.
The icing on the cake is that my car made it here. On the way here yesterday, my check engine light started flashing. I had to turn back and reschedule for today. I was able to fix the issue myself but was still nervous about taking her out on a longer drive than my test drives yesterday.

I'm not even going to look into this. I've heard you guys talk about Fireboards and fans and such for years, and this is the one temptation I've resisted because I haven't allowed myself to even read about what this thing does. I am standing at my Thermopylae, and the Persians shall not pass.
Right. Just go ahead and get it over with lol. I have a maverick xr 50 and one of the probes failed. I haven't replaced it because I am trying to justify buying a fireboard lol
