CLOUD CONNECTED The FireBoard connects via WiFi to our FireBoard Cloud servers, allowing you to monitor temperature remotely via your phone or the web. ALERTS Set up alarms to notify you via SMS, Email or Push notification when your target temperatures are reached. DRIVE CONTROL Control your wood or charcoal BBQ with the optional Drive fan control system. Easily power any 12v fan to maintain a steady temperature. Also features lid-open detection! |

ACCURACY
We wanted to make sure our design provided accurate and reliable temperature readings. This requires two things: a solid circuit design; and robust and accurate temperature probes. FireBoard has both. WIFI + BLUETOOTH FireBoard is also a Bluetooth thermometer. If you don’t have WiFi, you can still use it conveniently within Bluetooth range. Data is still automatically synchronized to your Cloud account via your mobile data. BATTERY POWERED The FireBoard has a Li-Ion rechargeable battery. It runs over 24 hours, even pushing data over WiFi! No need for extension cables to run your thermometer. 6 CHANNELS Measure multiple temperatures all from one device |
FAQS

WHEN WILL MY ORDER SHIP? wHEN WILL i RECEIVE MY ORDER?
Your order is typically shipped 1-2 business days after placing the order. Delivery time depends on country, but is typically 2-4 business days. We do not ship on holidays or weekends. Delivery to countries outside of the Eurozone may take a few days longer due to the customs process. HOW HOT CAN THE FIREBOARD AND PROBES GET?
The thermistor probes and cables that come with the FireBoard are rated from -18° to 300°C (0°F to 572°F). Learn more about our probes here. The FireBoard unit itself is rated to 60°C (140°F) but in our laboratory testing, we believe the device should withstand temperatures in excess of this rating. Despite those tests, certain components used within the FireBoard are only rated up to 60°C (140°F). cAN I USE the fireboard with my gas, propane, or charcoal grill?
Absolutely! The thermistor temperature probes are rated up to 300°C (572°F), which should be satisfactory for most cooks on a grill. Temperatures inside of some grills may exceed the probe ratings, especially over a direct flame, so please use caution as you approach those higher temperatures. can the fireboard be used without cloud monitoring?
Yes it can! It works just fine over Bluetooth (direct to phone). It can even upload Bluetooth-collected data to your cloud account through your phone's LTE connection if you wish. how long does the device take to charge? Also how long does the battery last?
The FireBoard should take between 5 – 8 hours to charge. The charging and power behavior of the FBX11 is similar to a mobile phone, where the device can be powered from USB and also recharge at the same time. The device will automatically turn on when it is plugged into USB Power. The FireBoard’s Li-Ion rechargeable battery should last approximately 24hours. what type of bluetooth connection does the fireboard utilize?
The FireBoard utilizes a Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy) Profile to communicate between the mobile app and the FireBoard. With a BLE connection, the pairing process where you entered a passcode is not needed anymore. The mobile app should automatically scan and find FireBoard devices via BLE. If you run into issues with discovering devices, in the worst case, you can force close the app, turn your Bluetooth on/off (e.g. airplane mode) and then try to connect again. is the fireboard weather resistant?
The FireBoard unit itself is not weather resistant – while it does perform well in many conditions, if you anticipate rain or heavy moisture we recommend the FireBoard Case. are the probes waterproof?
Yes — Our manufacturer for the probes confirms they are waterproof, and our testing so far supports this claim. Although, we do not recommend submerging the probes for a long period of time. do the ambient probes plug in the same way as the food probes?
Yes, the ambient probes have an identical plug (2.5mm audio plug) on the end, so you can mix and match ambient / food probes however you would like. There are identical sensors inside so they work exactly the same way. what are the dimensions of the temperature probes
Standard Food probe (SF311): length = 12.7cm straight section + 90° bend collar diameter = 10.5mm diameter (probe itself) = 4mm Standard Ambient probe (SANT311): length = 5.7cm diameter (probe itself) = 4mm diameter including strain relief = 6mm Smoker Ambient Probe (SS311): (this fits standard Dial / Gauge thermometers such as this Tel-Tru) length = 5.7cm diameter (probe itself) = 4mm threading = 1/2” NTP fitting (note the threaded section is approx 27/32″ in true diameter) Note: all probe plugs are 7.5mm in diameter at their widest section how long are the probe cables?
They are 1.8m (6ft) long. |
