    Fireboard w/Fan control - first impressions

    Already had the Smoke w/ Gateway but wanted a fan so I got a Fireboard with fan control cable and fan. Controlling the temp via app with the combined graphs adds a lot of fun to the cook process. Once I got some stuff figured out - the temps held very steady. Had a little trouble at the end with my charcoal grates in the slow-n-sear getting clogged but that's on the cook not the cooker. Still have a lot to learn (new to fans) but this appears to be a good path.

    Had some issues getting the Fireboard and my Turbo2 Phone talking via Bluetooth. Fireboard Customer service gets an A+. They worked with me like it mattered and we got it working. FYI - Turn the Location slider on.

        I love mine too! The new fan system is slick and works great. I love being able to see, on the graph, how hard the fan is working. Then I can make adjustments to get things really dialed in. It is nice!

          I just got the Fireboard fan cable too and used it with my Pit Viper fan. it's great! So simple and the variable fan speed worked really well.

            So what's the deal on the fans? Fireboard doesn't make their own, right? I know nothing about 3rd party fans.

              They sell a fan they don’t make. It also works with the Pit Viper fan sold by BBQ Guru. That’s the one I’ve ordered since I’m gonna use it in a kettle and wanted easy mounting options.

            Here's the Fireboard fan and my adapter that slips over my Weber Performer one touch burner tube. Just unclip the gas line and slide it on. Plan to post setup when I get the grill presentable.
