FireBoard 2 probe question

[ChiKing]

Hey all, I finally k off off the bbq guru as I was tired of it failing. Excited to try the FireBoard 2.

 

Quick q: since the k probes don’t fit through the holes meant for feeding wires outside the smoker, do you just let them sit on the rim and close it? Is there another way?

 

Thanks

Yep there is. Thread the part that plugs into the Fireboard unit from the inside of the grill. So you can put the probe in the meat while waiting for the KK to come to temperature. Then set the meat on the grill and push the "plug in" part through the hole. Then put a rubber grommet (included in your goodie bag) and you're good to go.

Not sure I understand. Do you mean this end with the yellow? It does not fit through the whole as I see it.

The other end has a clip so it won’t fit in either. I

Just take the clip off the probe, feed it through the hole then put the clip back on.

the stock alligator clip on the fireboard ambient probe don't fit through the probe hole. but like @C6Bill said, just take the clip off..

i switched to the thermoworks ones and the alligator clips are small enough to fit through without removing the clip.

I didn't realize it was the Pro model when you posed the question. I have the Fireboard Drive which uses the same probes as the Fireboard 2 (non Drive).  But as you read, taking the alligator clip off the probe should let it go through without a problem.  Or put the yellow end through if...like you said...it's small enough to go through the hole.
