Fireboard users - do you name your channels each cook?

[Pobeque]

I'm too lazy, usually just keep channel 1 as the ambient probe and channel 2 as the internal. Rarely use 3rd channel on my fireboard

I don't own a Fireboard. Is "channel" another way of saying "probe?"

[WI Bubba]

Yes. You can plug up to 6 probes into the base unit, and each one is assigned to a channel based on where you plugged it in. So a probe plugged into port one of the base unit becomes channel 1 and so on.

Just a note that it gets a bit more complex with the new wireless Pulse probes. You can, theoretically, connect 32 Pulse probes to 1 FB base unit. You can name each one as well, which can get a bit fun since there is no physical port involved - you gotta know which meat or where you placed it, particularly if using more than a couple of them. So, naming them really helps!

This kinda of surprises me. I ma one of the few that actually labels the channels and uses the dashboard feature. Maybe, I am doing too much work on my end!

I do, as well. Always name - well, 95% of the time. I also add pictures and notes to my cooks about half the time.

And I run 2 Fireboards, so as many as 12 channels sometimes. On big cooks, or when testing out a new cooker I've built (or bought, lol). Temp mapping under different conditions is helpful to me.

Yep, I like having the info. I have gone back many times when I am calculating time, amount of food etc. It is nice to be able to go back and check the notes. It really gives you a nice piece of mind that you are not flying totally blind.
