I Know, the purists will say “You don’t need gadgets” but I LIKE gadgets. I’ve been a Fireboard user for a few years and I’m over all the wires. The S1 base unit replaces the thermometer in the lid and takes grill temp from there. It connects wirelessly to a temp control fan and uses wireless probes for meat temp. First cook with it tomorrow

I just ordered the thermometer for my grill. Update us on how it goes
I got the fan and S1. Used it the first time to make beef ribs at 275 and it kept it pretty spot on the whole time. I absolutely love the setup. It makes me want to do a brisket again just because I can rely on it to keep a constant temperature.
The fan is still wired right? so close 🙂
It appears the left side of the upper ring support rod/post is out of the sleeve of the lower support ring (2nd picture). I noticed this because my Kamado was assembled and delivered with two of the upper ring supports not seated in the sleeve causing it to be uneven. Careful inserting it into the sleeve, I almost tipped mine over when I pushed them in causing the kamado to abruptly drop onto the lower support ring.
Are you grilling indoors?
Something concerning to me is that I see no mention of water resistance on any of the product web pages. Can this be used in the rain? Does the thermometer/hub need to be removed between cooks to keep out of the weather?
I love mine!
