    Fireboard Fan for 22" Kettle??

    I've got a new Fireboard fan waiting to be installed and I'm hesitating. I'm going to control it with my Fireboard 2. I'm nervous going ahead with this solution because it seems everyone is running someone else's fan. Any folks out there with Fireboard fan experience? I'd like to stay with one vendor in hopes the support is better.

    I have a neighbor that runs the FireBoard fan, he loves it, I run a pit viper fans with my FB and I love them, you’ll have no issues.

    Enjoy your cook and have fun!

      I have a pit viper fan to run with my Fireboard 2.

      I never use it. Fireboard didn't make fans when I bought mine. I think either way is fine

        I run pit vipers on my E6, 22 and 26. Been doing that for years with zero issues.

          I’ve read that there was a problem with fan speeds but that turned out to be firmware related and was corrected. Have you heard or experienced something else? I do have a Fireboard 2 and a Fireboard fan but have only used it a few times.

            I haven't heard anything negative about the Fireboard fan. Just noticed it's not on the product reviews here and it's not discussed much. A lot of Pit Viper discussion. Was wondering if there was something I was missing. Based on feedback so far, I will unbox this fan and install it.

          I have FireBoard Pro with their fan and it has worked great. In fact I’m using it today making up some ribs

            Fireboard is now up to 3 different fans. The first was not made by them.

            The second was a 20 CFM fan. It is the original Fireboard branded fan. Very long. I sought out this one because I liked what I could see from the picture. However I now see it has a leaky design. Not a super big deal because 20 CFM is a lot. However it means that you probably have to remove it and shut the vent to extinguish the fire in a kamado depite the fact it has a damper.

            I will probably wrap it in kapton (high temp) tape.

            The third is currently in production and is a short fan. It appears to be better sealed.
