    Fire board vs Smart Grill

    Does anyone have experience with a Smart Grill IFIC thermometer? My son got me a 6 channel setup for Christmas, but I haven't used it yet. After reading the review on Fireboard (before Christmas), I was planning on buying one.
    I don't want to diss my son, but I don't want to find out the Smart Grill is a POS, and unable to return it, after using it.
    I'm new here, and appreciate any help available, thanks!!

    We get a lot of these kinds of requests here. Does the so-and-so thermo device work as well as the Fireboard? I own a whole draw full of thermo devices all of which work fairly well for what they are. But I can say without any doubt in my mind that the Fireboard is THE most versatile and complete package you would ever want in a thermo device AND controller. Coupled with a fan, you can turn any grill, kettle or even a large stick burner into a true thermo controlled device akin to the set and forget pellet grills.

    For my money I'd return the gift and buy a Fireboard. Get the kid a 6 pack of beer to easy the pain !!!

      First, welcome to the Pit. I will leave it to others to discuss the Smart Grill with you since I only have experience with the Fireboard. Using one right now to watch pork butts in my Yoder. You are correct though in your evaluation of the Fireboard as a great remote thermometer.

          I don't use anything like those, but the battle tested fibreboard has stood the test of time.

              Hmmm. Considering I can not locate a thermometer by that name in a couple minutes or googling and checking amazon doesn’t bode well for it.

              All my stuff is thermoworks, but if I were starting fresh. I would keep my Thermopen, and buy a Fireboard for leave-in readings.
