• The only advantage it seems to have is 6 probes over 4 (although it only seems to come with 2 meat probes, a grill probe and an ambient probe), are you ever going to be cooking more than 3 of anything? The signals doesn't show the graph on the the unit but it does in the app.

    I've never seen the other one so can't tell you if there's something special about the build quality I can only give you my opinion of the Thermoworks, which has been excellent. Bang on temperature every time, using it with a kamado you do all fine control with the lid vent, when using the fan its extremely sensitive and fast to increase/decrease temp (which is definitely not the case without). I'd get the thermoworks and buy a thermapen as well ( you'll still have saved money vs the FireBoard)

  • Probably just one big thing at a time, so no issue with 4 probes. It's to go on a Weber kettle, so there isn't loads of room for multiple items.

    One thing I noticed with BBQ Guru and FireBoard is they sell a shaped piece to aim the air downward. I can't see anything similar from Thermoworks, so I'm trying to work out if I need/could make something to suit.

    Already got the Thermapen, although it lives in the kitchen where it's used every day. Super handy!

    No idea I'm afraid, that looks to be something specifically for kettle conversions because of where you have to drill your hole?

    I just typed 'cube brackets' in Google and this came straight up so I don't think it would be hard to fashion something.

  • When I looked at the Thermoworks one for a weber kettle I'm pretty sure it involved modding it or the barbecue in some way to attach it.
