Thanks! I somehow missed that info!

The stock WiFi is not good. I bought this to address the dropped WiFi and it now works perfectly.

The smoker will shutdown and reset when installing updates, which I have accidentally done mid cook which is annoying but user error. It shouldn't shut down otherwise unless there is a flare up and temps go over 800.

And yes, rigging the MB to run off the FB is easy enough.

Polarbear777 just talked about it at end of this topic: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...tes-and-charts

Sounds promising for you. Though might want to verify the FB probes you have can handle the heat. The three different types each have a different max.

My stock controller keeps losing wifi connection and at times shuts the smoker down. This happens even when running the current software updates.

Have any of you used a Fireboard 2 Drive instead of the stock controller? I'm hoping that if I went this route, that I could then monitor the grill while being away from the pit.
