Hi guys,
I have no MCS, I can quit anytime I want . I just sold my Thermoworks Smoke + gateway, got tired of it. I'm sticking to my trusty Fireboard. I love it.
Now, I'm an old school guy, so I have never used a PID controller to control temps. Ever. BUT, I do have the Fireboard, and it can run a fan via its 12V output. So, I figured, why not get a Pit Viper fan? Mind you, this is not MCS, I really need it.
Either way, all I need to purchase is the so called Drive cable, it seems. Easy enough. But how do you mount the Viper fan to the kettle, for example? Is there some kind of adapter? I don't mind drilling holes or anything. I just want an easy way to plug/stick the fan to the kettle.
Also, bonus question: I'm looking for an adapter for the BGE also. Where's the best way to buy aftermarket parts/adapters like this? Any recommendations from Pit Viper users?
This all started with me watching a Harry Soo video, and I thought: it's actually kinda neat, not having to tend to the fire all the time. My kettle with the SnS is rock solid for hours at a time, so is the BGE, but I'm also an engineer, and having some device work for me is really attractive
