SIMPLE. SMART. CLOUD CONNECTED
The FBX2 series features three FireBoard models that provide exciting innovations in smart thermometer technology. We’ve retained some favorite features from the first generation FireBoard and added outstanding new capabilities.
The FBX2 models are easy to set-up and use through the FireBoard App. Temperature data is stored on the device as well as your FireBoard cloud account. Data is synchronized, so you can view historical and current sessions. Connecting via Bluetooth and WiFi, you can receive alerts from just about anywhere.
THE FIREBOARD 2
The FBX2 boasts a large, multi-view graphing LCD screen capable of showing data from up to six probes at once. The side buttons let you toggle displays to see graphs of single or multiple channels. The auxiliary port allows Drive function with the Drive Fan Cable, and the USB Type-C power connector supports higher power voltage for fan operation. With a built-in, weather-resistant case and approximately 30 hours of battery life, the FireBoard 2 will keep your temperature monitoring going strong.
THE FIREBOARD 2 DRIVE
The FBX2D includes all the features of the FireBoard 2 with the addition of an integrated Drive technology to maintain precise temperature control via a 12v fan. The fan plugs directly into the 2.5mm power jack built into the FireBoard.
THE FIREBOARD 2 PRO
The FBX2K is the first of our products to include thermocouple capabilities, supporting up to three thermocouple probes. Add to that the large, multi-view screen, integrated Drive support and auxiliary port, the powerful USB-C power connector, and built-in weather resistant case and you’ve got a smart thermometer that’s ready for some serious applications.
FAQS
No the FireBoard 2 Drive & Pro have built in Drive technology, so they can power a fan directly via the 2.5mm port.
Yes! Every FireBoard (all models) has a built in aux port and the Drive Cable can be used to power a fan.
Not at the moment, but this might be a feature developed in the future via an OTA firmware update.
Yes, the USB-C port is PD (Power Delivery) enabled which means it can shift into a 12V power input, providing plenty of power to run the fan at 100% and also keep the FireBoard 2 running and charged for longer cooks.
The Pro model will be using Type K Thermocouple probes, which provide several key advantages. Type K probes are robust and heavy duty, perfect for rugged use. The connector is also very strong, providing a stable pathway for reading temperature from the probe. Thermocouples can read high temperatures, far higher than thermistors, which is ideal for pizza ovens, wood stoves, or general cooking at higher temperatures. Since Type K Thermocouples are standardized, any Type K probe can work with FireBoard 2 Pro.
No, however we are planning on selling a Base which will have built in magnets. Coming Summer 2020!

- Alerts can be set remotely via the cloud
TECHNICAL SPECS
WHY WIRED TEMPERATURE PROBES?
We decided to use wired probes because they are time tested and robust. Since the probes are such an important element, we didn’t want them breaking down in extreme heat. Cooking, grilling and smoking can expose the probes to harsh conditions, and we wanted our solution to work well over the long run.
The FireBoard supports multiple probe types — both Thermistors and RTDs! Read more about the differences and pros/cons between the probe types here.
