Best temp controller via fan.

[BlueRidgeBBQGuy]

What's the best fan-type controller for the KK?

I use a Fireboard 2 Pro with thermocouple probes and a BBQ Guru Pit Viper fan. It has worked well for me. I like the large display that can be read from a distance. The the BBQ Guru fans are the only ones that fit the KK's fan port, as far as I am aware. My main gripe is that the on-unit control buttons are both hard to see and feel.

I have the same setup and dont like the buttons either so once i turn it on i just do everything from the app  And now they have the wireless probes, I have one on order, cant wait to try that out !!!!!

I like the FireBoard, and I have their stock fan but I modified their mount to incorporate a ThermoWorks Universal Mount

I have a flame boss 500, but i also use the guru fan. The temperature control is solid, and the app has no glitches.

I’m in the ThermoWorks ecosystem for probes so I use Signals and the Billows fan. Have had no problems with it. I have a set of the wireless probes on order, which integrate in the ThermoWorks app with Signals and Billows fan control.

I also have a Fireboard 2 Pro and a Pit Viper Fan. Works flawless. Once I get the new Fireboard Pulse, it will be almost wire free except for the Fan to the Fireboard 2 Pro. I HATE wires.

I use the BBQ GURU DigiQ, wired probes and fan. This has been my setup for years. It has proven to be dependable.

I have trouble leaving well enough alone, so I stole some doll eyes from my wife's craft supplies and glued them to the buttons. The clear silicone adhesive I tried first failed, but the light grey construction adhesive seems to be holding up ok. It makes the button more visible, too.

Looks good to me
