Fireboard 2 Maiden Voyage

[Dewesq55]

With all the focus on yesterday's cook being the first on my Smokey Joe and the first on my new deck, I neglected to mention that it was also the first cook for my new Fireboard 2*. I mainly used it to monitor the cooker temp, plus my now ubiquitous Channel 6 probe to monitor the outside temperature. It performed admirably, as expected/anticipated. I absolutely LOVE the mode where you get a huge temp display of one channel. Propped up on a block of pecan on the front table of my offset, I could easily read the temp from inside the house/garage. I also really like the rapid boot up and shut down. Late in the cook when, due to all the issues with the temperature, I had no idea how much longer they needed to cook, I stuck one of my new competition needle probes into the biggest rib to monitor the IT. Worked great. I was able to move it around within the meat of that single rib with no problem keeping it away from the bone. That's exactly why I wanted them. I can hardly wait to try it out running my blower and stoking my fire (with the Drive cable since I didn't buy the Drive model.)

*I DID use t to monitor the temp of my shut off oven with the light on while proofing my Sicilian pizza dough on Thursday, but that hardly counts 😁.

Glad to hear the good report. Try to be kinder to this Fireboard than you were to the last one. The word was probably out at the Fireboard factory and all the units were drawing straws to see which one drew the short straw and had to be shipped to you.

Those skinny competition probes are the bomb. I never cook ribs, fish, wings, etc. without them.
