[SOUNDCLOUD][/SOUNDCLOUD]All I can say is wow. I’ve had my KJ for 1.5 years and when I got it decided that I was not going to get any kind of fan/controller until I’d figured out how to control temperature without it (I’m a crotchety young person—I plan to be 100, so 50 is young—and hate being dependent on technology).
I reached the point that I was comfortable enough to start my fan/controller shopping and after much research (including a lot of reading here) decided on the Fireboard Drive and Pit Viper combo. I was expecting great things from a temperature control perspective, which it delivers completely, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well the precise control decreases my charcoal usage. I smoked some St. Louis ribs (and hot smoked a little salmon at the front end), ran for about 6.5 hours at 225 and think I burned through less than 1/4 basket and I stayed solidly at 225 the whole way through.
St Louis Ribs https://share.fireboard.io/DEBF94 data from that cook if anyone is interested.
I’d love if there was a wireless probe I could use with the Fireboard so I could use with my rotisserie, so I guess I’ll start bugging them to do that ​
