No, that isn't a typo. Flame Boss has been working on the FB 300 with three meat probes for a while now. How do I know? Last year I was considering buying a controller, and I sent a message to Flame Boss asking them if they might in the future come out with a multi probe unit. I got a reply from Michael Collins with the information that they were working on it, and he invited me to beta test it. So I have been using it since last summer. It is great! I often cook multiple tri tips or chickens or pork loins, and it is nice to be able to monitor all of them at the same time.
The FB 300 will look just like the FB 200, but it uses splitters for the extra probes. The circuitry is different, so it isn't something that can turn a 200 into a 300 with firmware. The display looks the same, but the meat temp reading cycles through the three probes. The graph uses different colors for each probe (not useful if you are colorblind). Other than one software update that wouldn't complete, which Michael fixed very quickly, it has worked perfectly. Mine is a beta so it is still labeled as a 200, and the splitters on mine are inline rather than angled, but I understand that will be changed on the production model.
I had a non-disclosure agreement with Flame Boss, so I have been patiently awaiting the release information so I could tell my forum friends about this. I highly recommend it. I did learn to control my temps on the XL BGE manually, but this makes it even easier, and I can watch the cook and control it from anywhere I have an internet connection. I give it five stars!
I found this video on another site.
