For those of you who have Fireboards and post the graphs of the cooks. What are the steps to capture and post the graph? Are the temp axis numbers set before the cook or before posting. In other words, you are cooking at 225 but some graphs show up to 350. Or is this set my where you set an alarm? Thanks for your help. Just learning how to really use this beyond the basics.

If I'm understanding the question, the temp scale on the left hand side shows the ceiling based off the actual measured temp. So if you set it at 225 and you have an actual spike of 250, then the scale will expand to accommodate.-
Thanks. So Lonnie Mac's scale shown here was driven by the spike at the end when he was doing a sear and not during the cook.

I think the spike in Lonnie's graph is because the fan maxed out in power at the beginning of the cook. Usually on the right hand side of the graph it will show a scale of 0-100 for the fan power percentage being used. That scale can get cut off of the graph if you edit the end time of the session. -
I think I know what you are asking, yes, the temp scale (LH side) is shown with the highest temp reading, hence 500 in this case, as that is the highest temp reached in this session. My last cook the highest temp I reached was 250, so the max temp scale showed for the session was 250.

When I do it I just do a screen capture of the graph as it appears on my phone. Then just save it as a .jpeg and post it here.
The scales are auto set to the highest range (or slightly above) where you set your grate temp (usually the highest temp used).

I own an iPhone so no help with screen capture on a Samsung. I'm sure someone out there will know or Google it in.
Here's a recent graph I pulled off my phone. On the computer you actually get more information. You can see I set the cook temp to 250* so the graph topped off at 300* for the upper scale limit on the left side (set automatically). The scale on the right is the percentage of power applied to the control fan (shown in green on the graph). Pretty basic really.

Thanks folks. I think I have it now.Comment

Samsung S8 capture is power button and volume down.
This is the prime rib roast cook on Christmas (forgot to change the ham label). Meat probe shows ambient temp until 10:29 when roast put on. Weber probe drops off before 1:30 when I removed to begin the sear. Ups and down in temps caused by opening to rotate the roast.
Thanks again to all for helping me learn how to do this.

When I post them to the Pitmaster Club, I do a screen shot from my desktop.Comment

I asked FireBoard folks about being able to adjust the scales and select different probes to plot and colors about 9 months ago. So far there doesn’t seem to be any customizaability for graphs in the app. Once it auto scales it stays that way.
You can only really zoom on the time axis.Comment

Looks like ya got it! On my graph ya linked too, you will see the blue line. That is the set point of the whole cook for the fan control. All the green stuff is the fan itself running at a percentage of fan speed.
I too just do a screen capture on my iMac. (CMD+SHIFT+4)
on your computer you can zoom in to the graph, and on your phone also with a pinch zoom. You can also share your whole cook using the website.Comment

I wonder if we have any Fireboard employees who are members of the pit?Comment
