MAGNETIC FireBoard 2 Drive Base!!
Check out the Fireboard 2 Drive Base HG-3D ICT 3-D printed up for me. I use this on my Char-Griller 980, Weber Smoky Mountain, and Weber Performer BBQ. I love that I can move it around and not worry about dropping it! You could use this on everything from an Indirect smoker to griddle. Use it on your garage fridge to monitor temperature! Amazing Smart Control for cooking. Thermoworks Signals, billows, Flame Boss, DigiQ, 3-D printing,

First, huge thanks to Flat Top King for the help and assistance in my selection process. Their channel is classy, informative and amazing. This video is why I chose the 36" Weber over the 28" Weber - and the info I couldn't find online. I chose it over the Traeger Flatrock and Halo Elite griddle. It had nothing to do with the price. For me it was all about cooking space and temperature control....

Char-Griller gravity fed 980 with a a full post oak split. Love the 980 as a smoker - controlled by the Fireboard 2 Drive. I've been wanting to try smoking meat with a full split.

Wood in the Chargriller 980? I love this wood in the Char-Griller 980 Gravity Fed smoker hopper. It's easier to control than wood chunks and provides consistent smoke throughout the cook. I'm sure it would work just as well in the Masterbuilt Gravity Series. Provides smoke from the minute you light the hopper. I try to leave the rear damper fully open for max smoke, but have to close it down so...

Previously I installed a single Thermoworks Billows fan on the Char-griller 980 gravity fed charcoal grill. I control it with the Thermoworks signals. It was good up to about 300 degrees, but not quite enough air to hold higher temps. After talking it over with Thermoworks customer service, they recommended a second fan.

I like my Fireboard because it detects when the lid is off automatically and doesn’t start back for a certain set time.
Agreed. That's a handy feature.
You get a diffuser plate for the bbq? Same thing that’s welded onto the bottom of the griddle. Works way better!!
No. I'll have to look in to that.
Sorry but your audio is terrible!!!
I watched the full video after reading your comment... Ya know what? You're right. If I make another vid, I'll have to pay more attention to consistent volume. Cheers!
I'll watch my grill and put that $200 towards some fine ribeye steaks.
That'd be some good eating!
Thanks for posting this, really good info.
Awesome - hope it helped!
just showng us the bumps alone is very cool of you .thx.
I hope it helped. For what it's worth, I've been cooking on it for over a year now. I don't even notice them. No issues with seasoning, sticking etc... Still have it - still love it 🙂 I fully intended to buy the new Weber slate when it came out. After seeing it cook, I decided to stay with what I have. It just works so well... Happy cookin!
Hello. I just bought one of these and want to but arp wood but it looks like the link is down. What is the length of the 2 x 2 sticks?
Bummer - I wonder if they went out of business... I can't get to them right now to measure, but they're 7" or 8" max
@@crashcopter6000 Thanks so much for the quick response. Awesome channel!
Thank you!
Did you replace your stock controller with the fireboard
Basically yes. The stock controller is still there, but I bypassed it. There's a full video on my channel showing what I did
czcams.com/video/Z1E_sVyvnfs/video.html
Finally someone mentions a practical method to prevent over temps on the low temp smoking. I’m going to try the fan door crack open method for my next cook. Thanks!
Good deal! It really does help.
All you need is a santa maria grill.
Right? Then again - the last thing I need is another cooker...
Mine failed soon after warranty expired due to a bad sensor that was impossible to replace. Char Griller was worthless to help.
I'm sorry to hear that... Consider upgrading to a Fireboard - you'll be glad you did!
They also sell inserts for the grease tray that make life easier. They look like those disposable aluminum pans. Just an option.
Very true. I use and love them. Gotta love Weber accessories!
Amazing 👍thanks for sharing 🙏
Nice sharing👌like&sub😊🌹🌺
Thank you! I'll sub you back!
Great 👍
Those weld humps can be smoothed out if you know how. But, really, Webber should have done it before shipping to retail, it will cost them a large % of business.
True but honestly - I've cooked on it countless times now and I don't even notice them.
The welded bars on the underside of the griddle are stiffeners to keep the steel from warping.
Seems to help a bit to spread out the heat also, but yeah, I agree.
I've been really struggling trying to find the best method to get a good fire going with a proper thin blue smoke with hardwood chunks. Ususally I get the coals going to where they're getting white on the outer side. Then throw in some hardwood to burn off the outer layer, with the lower and upper hopper door open while everything is burning as I want it. Once it's where I want it, I'll pull the slide to the BBQ inlet, then I'll close the upper and lower hopper doors to let the BBQ preheat. I think I might hold of pulling the slide to the BBQ and close the hopper doors and the fan door, to get the coals and hardwood burning back to a temp works best for smoking. I like the idea with the wire tie to limit to the air to the fan inlet when needed. I feel like if I can't find a good enough method for getting hardwood (and the bed of coals) get the best ideal conditions for smoking. I might end up just selling it and getting an offset, and having a kettle style for direct/hot cooking. As it's a pain to get it setup when you get a good smoke, Then needing to do it over again and add more coals and hardwood. The other idea I've had is use a coal chimney to add in new coals to keep controlled burns as I see fit. I feel like loading up the hopper and letting the gravity do it's job will just make it burn to a white bitter smoke when new fuel starts to catch. This is my first smoker, and just trying to learn to get the best results with a charcoal gravity. I understand it's not designed for how I'm using it, but still figure there is a way to get the consistant results that I'm after. Maybe even burning off some hardwood in a chimney and sticking that in. Just as you did once you're coals are where you need it (as Char-griller designed it to work) would be the best move. What do you think? Just trying to share what I've tried and see if we can both find the best method for consistent ideal smoke.
Here's a vide from my channel showing the wood I use. I also put post oak chunks on the left of the ash pan. I'm very pleased with the results.. czcams.com/video/-ZoAX4wqbKU/video.html
I strive for clean smoke and consistent temps. I've had this thing for three years now and I just now came across the slightly ajar intake. I may try that on a dry run just to see how it goes. My current method works well too. Again focusing on temp... I use foil about 2 1/2 to three inches wide and I plate it under the ambient temp thermometer on the left side of the chamber. I give the smoker and hour before I start to cook on it and I have a bread pan with water on the right side of the chamber. I live just above the mason Dixon line so I should add that my humidity levels vary. With this method I can get the smoker within 1° of the fireboard. For the blue smoke I exclusively use chunk in the ash pan. If you burn briquettes you'll find that method easier. If you burn lump which I prefer.. you may want to throw the chunks in the tray earlier and be more generous with it as there is less ash to assist in getting the wood to give off smoke. Hope this is helpful. For what it's worth... If I could go back I wouldn't have purchased this. It will also make me weary of other smokers that control temp. I'm sure every smoker has its own quirks but I came up on smoking in an upright home made drum and a Weber Kettle. The Kettle is the best item I've ever used.
@@jonnyrmatthews I have a 2001 Weber Performer that I love. The only issue with smoking on it is the cooking space... I cheat with it too though. I have a Spider Grills Venom installed. Makes a fabulous reverse sear... I don't order steak out anymore. Every time I do I think - I could have cooked this so much better...
Yum!
Awesome set up!
Yum! ❤
can you please let me know where you bought the Weber Griddle cover
It came with a Weber performer I bought years ago. The guy told me his wife had it made. Sorry, but that’s all I know.
How do you keep the temperature from going off the chart when that wood gets going?
I always keep the rear vent at 1/2 or less viewed from the inside. Also, I have a wire loop that I put around the fan door latch and I only open the fan door about the width of a finger. There's a video on my channel that compares fireboard and thermoworks controllers side by side. I show the loop at the 9 minute mark. It doesn't seem to run hotter than lump charcoal.
way to much for griddle!! 500 at most
There's no such thing as "too much griddle." That's not a thing 🙂
Thanks for a wonderful video full of great information things I was full totally unaware of
Thank you! If you have a special need, those guys can sure create it for you.
Can you smoke low at <200f with this mod?
Yes. The secret to lower temps on the 980 is closing the rear vent to half or less and keeping the fan door at about 1" open. I just use a wire loop around the fan door latch to hold it about 1 finger width open.
@@crashcopter6000 nice, but not with the stock controller though. Stock can only go as low as 200. I'll do this mod eventually.
Is this 36" Weber Griddle actual cooking surface 21" deep (36" wide x 21" deep)?
Just got the latest Explorer 14 x 2 and a grill box. No griddle, I have iron pots/pans that fit well. Do you leave it out in the elements? How are the burners & valves holding up after this time? Should & what spare parts would I consider before all discontinued?
I had it outside with a Blackstone cover for about 2 years. No rust no issues with burners etc... It's been in storage for several months but no issues at all. These things are bulletproof
Way to go, Idaho!

Thank you for the video! I just ordered the Weber griddle and was wondering what the depth of the griddle is when the lid is open. I'm designing my outdoor kitchen and want to get the counter right. Any help would be appreciated! Also how wide are the little shelves on each side?
I can try to get some measurements for you... Are you talking from the faceplate where the knobs are to point that protrudes out the back when the lid is open? Or are you talking from the front of the griddle itself?
4:27 different trust
I'm not sure what you're asking/saying? If you kick on the closed captions you'll see I said "differential thrust."
Hello! I am also the owner of a bushmule and wanted to do the differential trust based on your video. Also, I'm not a native speaker of English and that's why I wrote my comment quickly (wrong of course). I searched this comment to find the place where I do the differential trust - a kind of mark. Thanks for the quick answer and I had a question if you could explain how you can activate the stabilizer on the busmule with the same transmitter and the as3x gyro? If that were possible, thank you :)
@@moviefalk177 Hello! If I was going to use a flight stabilizer with this plane, I would probably buy a AR8360T DSMX 8-Channel AS3X & SAFE receiver. I've only used a setup like that in a few planes, but it worked very well. That receiver should give you everything I set up, plus stabilization. You'd really have to study some videos oh how to set it up. Good luck to you ~ I hope it goes well! Btw... your English is 1000 times better than my German! Great job!
@@crashcopter6000 Thanks again for the quick response! I currently own a DX6 transmitter and I'm considering upgrading to the NX6 transmitter, mainly because I heard that setting up AS3X is supposed to be easier with it. Is that true, and would you recommend doing so? Thanks again.
