You first! Here we'll post news, gear reviews, videos, and recipes that are freshly published on the public site before getting advertised there! To see all our NEW Recipes & Gear Reviews, visit the Sneak Preview channel here: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...ew-for-members

FireBoard 2 Drive FBX2D, by Bill McGrath

Fireboard 2 Drive FBX2D

https://amazingribs.com/thermometers/fireboard-2-drive-fbx2d

FireBoard Drive 2 is an updated version of a well-received product that sets the standard for performance and functionality in the wireless food thermometer/thermostatic controller class.

The FireBoard 2 Drive, an evolution of the original Fireboard with an enhanced LCD display, is a six-channel Bluetooth/Wi-Fi thermometer with an integrated thermostatic controller that sets the standard for this product class. It hits all the high notes: well-thought out, solid construction, full feature set, an intuitive app, and clear, well-written instructions - in five languages, no less.

Lighting your smoker, grill, or fire pit has never looked so cool! It also couldn't be much simpler thanks to the GrillBlazer GrillGun propane torch. The device looks like a pistol and a flamethrower had a child, providing plenty of firepower for getting charcoal or wood going in a matter of minutes.

* - Weber 26.75" OTG
* - Weber 22.5" Premium cloaked in Crimson
* - Slow 'N Sear
* - Smoke E-Z - 26.75" (The Grain Silo)
* - Lodge Sportsman Grill
* - Weber Rapid Fire Chimney Starter
* - Thermoworks ThermoPop
* - Thermoworks Mk4
* - Thermoworks Dot
* - iGrill2 - 4 probes
* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun

I saw the FBX2D in the recent posts section and immediately thought it was about a new Harley.

I bought the Su-V Gun from GrillBlazer (https://grillblazer.com/) as I do a ton of Sous-vide cooking. Love it.

One VERY important lesson... this sucker will melt your standard cooling/baking racks. I usually take the food outside and shoot it on the grill. The one time I shot steaks in the house (steaks on a baking rack over cast iron skillet) it melted a few of the rack's wires. Now I have a 2" sinkhole in one of my Nordicware baking racks. Not a big issue, but beware of the BTU's this thing throws!

Again, this thing sears wonderfully.
