Yeah. I am going to write to them and ask them if I could use one to control a generic pellet grill and if so how. I promise I WILL post the results of that communication. Who knows? There may be others here who would be interested in this as well. Because I REALLY liked what I saw in those videos

Depends on what you call a "sear". Me? I am not interested in nor do I care about black lines on things. Nor am I interested in the sport of incinerating steaks. Rather, I like a nice overall crust. And quite honestly I am happy with that performance on both my pellet grills.

When I vacuum out my cookers I simply take out the so called "cookie sheet" a quick scrape with a putty knife. Nothing more rigorous that than. I don't see the issue. And sometimes I do some VERY long, and greasy cooks. And sometimes I crank them up to 450-500 deg and have no issues with bad...

Well the weird thing is I looked up the Fireboard. And their own literature indicated it could only control a fan on a gravity feed smoker. So my "guess?" is LSG contracts them to make something special or LSG somehow makes a custom companion for the Fireboard to control all the parameters...

THIS is good to know and GOOD NEWS! I think this issue was the biggest shortcoming to the SmokeFire. Of course it could be easily overcome by using a drip pan. But then Weber made so much press by giving the drip tray in a regular pellet grill such a bad reputation and how it wasn't needed or...

My parents moved us from the city (Belmont Craigin neighborhood) there just before high school. I never forgave them for it.

Mike, I honestly have never seen that much value in the "crafted" accessories. Honestly kind of over priced for things that can be done by much more generic products that may actually be of better quality. But, Like I indicated if you have any aspirations of doing more than just grilling steaks...

I would so love one of those. Maybe one day.................when I've grown up :D

The Fireboard really could not control a pellet grill as there are multi functions needed if you see them in operation. They have to turn on or off the auger motor, and turn on/off the igniter rod. And that is on the simpler ones. On some, they use DC motors and then they'd need to control not...

I will do my best to get some. Might be during the week. I have a VERY VERY full weekend. I won't bother with photos using the pressurized filter baskets. I'll use the non pressurized with the standard spouted holder and then the naked bottomless one. But I am impressed enough I will get one for...

I will get a shot of it this weekend. Already have someone on the line to buy the old VERY heavy Craftsman. No mistake it's still a heavy piece and awkward but 45lbs is a helluva lot easier to handle than 90lbs

A lot will depend on what you want to do with the grill. If you want true all around versatility like you currently have (good to excellent high heat, excellent indirect, excellent rotisserie) go Napoleon with the IR rear burner and sear burner (though I honestly never understood incinerating my...

No worries. Many "in the know" may not see your post. Only reason I let you know. These threads here are for technical help with the site's software and such

Hat to ask. How is the smell? Like Kingsford? Which to me smell like the oil refineries down by Joliet and in Indiana. I have that little 18" Jumbo Joe and was considering trying some when I saw them. But, not if they smell like Kingsford ones

Yeah it's all intact even the glass is good
