Poochie Posted January 30, 2022 Report Posted January 30, 2022 I have the original Fireboard and a BBQ Guru fan. I'm selling it to get a Fireboard 2 and the Fireboard fan. Does anyone here have both the Fireboard 2 and the Fireboard fan? If you do, did you need to buy anything extra to make the fan fit the KK? I know it has a rectangular opening on the fan, but it says it includes adapters.
BOC Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 I did not end up buying since I just used the guru fan with my FireBoard, so I’m not 100%. When I was researching this before I was expecting to have to buy the ball valve adapter or nozzle adapter to make it work. It was one of the factors for why I just ended up getting a guru fan to operate with my FireBoard.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Poochie Posted January 31, 2022 Author Report Posted January 31, 2022 I agree. I did more research and you do need the nozzle adapter that's $30. The fan/blower is $60. So I can spend $90 or use a Guru fan that I already have. A brand new Guru fan is $50 and they last a long time.
C6Bill Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I wonder if the fan from my FlameBoss 300 would work with one. I already have that and their adaptor. The FlameBoss adaptor is nice and only costs $10. Edited January 31, 2022 by C6Bill
Poochie Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Posted February 1, 2022 It doesn't look like it'll fit the Fireboard blower. I'm sure each company that makes these controllers make sure the other guy's stuff doesn't fit. The main unit of the Fireboard 2 Drive and Pro have a place to plug in a 12volt fan no matter where it's from.
Cheesehead_Griller Posted February 2, 2022 Report Posted February 2, 2022 Keep your Guru blower and just upgrade the controller s the others have said.
C6Bill Posted May 26, 2022 Report Posted May 26, 2022 Bringing this back from the dead, i just got the Fireboard Pro and can confirm that their ball valve adaptor does not fit the KK. It sure is close but it wont work unless you grind off the threads. i'll be sending back their fan and will keep using the one from my flame boss 300 with the adaptor that I know fits. If anything happens to that I'll just buy the BBQ Guru fan. Really looking forward to trying the fireboard, i charged it up today and did some configuration. 1

C6Bill Posted May 26, 2022 Report Posted May 26, 2022 Yes it does, but i am no longer using the flame boss.

I have used it several times with great success. I have the BBQ Guru fan which fits nicely. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the Fireboard 2 Pro. One tip, I'd suggest buying a grate clip that fits between the grate rather than the alligator clip it comes with. I had troubles with the alligator clip not fitting around the thick stainless grates. (I love the heavy duty grates by the way.) Best of luck!
C6Bill Posted May 27, 2022 Report Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Thanks, I ordered the BBQ Guru fan last night and got an RMA number from Fireboard so I can send send their fan back today. It’s too bad they don’t have a BBQ Guru port adaptor. Edited May 27, 2022 by C6Bill

I had troubles with the alligator clip not fitting around the thick stainless grates. I just make a holder for the grate clip out of an old wine cork. Cut notches out of the end so it fits snuggly in between the grate rods. I put either a nail or screw in the top end to clip the alligator clip to. This insulates the probe from the hot grate and you get a true measure of the air temperature around the meat. 3
