Fireboard 2

[JamesB]

When I plugged my RTD in and set that port for RTD, it was reading 30° off the Ambient Probe at room temp...
I had to go into the APP and adjust it +30 to read the same, then THAT PORT stays +30 for ever and can only be used for my RTD so I just stayed with my ambients for now, I never take my grill into the 400s anyway, I use my gasser for that.

Anyone else had to adjust their RTD to match real temp?? Did I just get a bad one, then again has anyone even checked?

RTD and STD(meaning 100K Thermistor) hanging side by side indoors or out, or both clipped next to each other in the grill... obviously they should both read the exact same

I just got my FB2 Friday, and have been poking around in the app, just learning how to use it.
When I read that you set a particular channel to read RTD, I started searching for how to do that. I didn’t get a RTD probe with mine ( don’t really see the need, because I also use my gasser for anything over 400).
I was just wondering if the RTD probe came with instructions to go into “advanced settings” and make that change. Those advanced settings are kinda buried...lol

They do mention changing the probe type in port settings, it was pretty self explanatory.

I'll give it a try again in a different port... if I get the same results then I'll call

I compared a comp probe and RTD before cooking last night, on the bench they read within 1 degree of each other, so something is off with yours.

I checked all of mine ( room temp and boiling water). All within a few tenths of a degree.
BTW, my wife and I were looking at your live feed this morning, and saw the probe temp drop to 52 in real time. I knew you were wrapping.
Wish I had the money back for all the Accu Rites I bought over the years.

Ya, the live feed is fun!

It's 202F right now, almost time for a good rest!

I'm happy with the bark!

Yeah, it looks great....I see that you have your probe in the flat. IMO, that’s the best place...

I just noticed that when I rename my FB channels, that they default back to channel 1, channel 2, etc.
What am I doing wrong?

Were you connected to the unit when re-labeling? I believe you need to hit the save button and it's stored on the unit.

Yeah, I’m cooking right now. I’m renaming the channels in the app, from the dashboard. Don’t see any save button...I was looking for that though.. lol

I just went out and checked the FB, it renamed them there, but they revert back to default in the app

Just tested, right, no save button. I went to details, re-labeled, then exited back, the FireBoard screen then immediately updated to the new name. It sticks for me.

Once I named all mine they are the same months later...

It sticks on the FB itself, but not in the app. From the dashboard, I tap detail, then tap channel 1 (left side), that takes me to “channel info” screen. I rename label, tap “back”, and it changes back to default in 2 or 3 seconds

Force close the app and re-open, that's odd for sure, especially if the fireboard is correctly labeled.

Force closing didn’t do it.
