    Anyone use Pit Bull fan with Fireboard?

    Thanks for the great explanation! The Pit Viper worked great, no problems. I only got the Pit Bull because I couldn't hold a higher temp without my inlet being about 1/8" open. https://www.allseasonsfeeders.com/collections/bbq-pits/products/24-x-20-bbq-pit-w-firebox

    Anyone use Pit Bull fan with Fireboard?

    I switched from a Pit Viper fan to a Pit Bull. On my first cook the fan shut down after about an hour (I have to disclose the Fireboard was only a little over 1/2 charge). I plugged the Fireboard external power pack into the Fireboard and got another 40 minutes out of the fan. Pit Viper...

    Temp controller for offset smoker?

    Works great. The Fireboard has six probes. I can view temps and control fan via my phone. Did a six hour rib cook a couple of weeks ago and didn't leave the couch until it was time to bring them in.

    Temp controller for offset smoker?

    I run a Fireboard with BBQ Guru Pit Bull fan and bulkhead adapter. Have not had a problem with ash being blwn around.

    Boneless Ribeye Roast - Hints, Tips, Suggestions

    Thanks Bear! I couldn't maintain 220, so I smoked around 235 for a little under 4 hours using oak and pecan. Pulled at 135, rested 15 minutes, then double foiled, wrapped in 2 towels and into the ice chest. Rave reviews from everyone.

    Boneless Ribeye Roast - Hints, Tips, Suggestions

    I am going with your "New Best Ever" recipe. I am using an offset smoker. Any reason for smoking on the rack in foil pan other than keeping your smoker clean?

    Injecting Venison Backstrap

    I have been eating and cooking venison all my life, but have never used anything more than salt, pepper and garlic. I have a couple of axis backstraps that I am going to smoke and have decided to try something different. Any suggestions as far as an injection or rub?

    Can't keep temperature down!

    I figured that. Just thinking that less air space in the firebox would lead to less air for the coals.

    Can't keep temperature down!

    Do you think this would help reduce excess air flow? https://www.allseasonsfeeders.com/collections/grill-accessories/products/heat-transfer-plate

    Can't keep temperature down!

    I have an ASF offset smoker and have a really hard time keeping my temps under 240-250. I completely close the vents and have to close the stack down. Both cook chamber and firebox are sealed with Lavalock and I see no smoke escaping. There is maybe a 1/16" gap around the door where the vents...

    Grill vs Ambient Temps

    I am thinking about buying a Fireboard and see that they offer a threaded ambient temperature probe. I have always used my probe on the grill grate. Using the threaded one would be much easier, but isn't using a probe on the grate better. My pit has a threaded hole just above the nameplate.

    Signals or Fireboard?

    I currently use a Smoke w/Gateway and really really like it. But I am now interested in the new Signals because it has more channels. I was just about to pull the trigger when I heard (on this forum) about the Fireboard. From what I understand the connectivity, ease of setup & range is better...
