    FlameBoss 400 tested out on my Weber Smokey Mountain, WSM, 22" . Super easy to install with super easy user interface. Manages the airflow perfectly during this 1st cook.

    Really enjoyed your video, I have the 18.5 WSM, opened my eyes to how easy this was, no holes to drill etc…enjoy!

    This was very helpful. The instructions have no detail and are not helpful, but your video is easy to follow and a lifesaver. I'll let you know how mine goes!

    I found an old metal coffee can in my garage, about the same size and my mini Weber Chimney. It works great to put the kit coals exactly where you want.

    Hi, like your videos.
    Have a Masterbuilt 1050 on the way!
    What are your take on pairing the FB400 to the 1050 in case of controller brake down?

    • @TXSHeat
      @TXSHeat  Před 3 lety +1

      The fan isnt' strong enough to get to higher temps but it will work for low and slow if you built an adaptor plate. I actually did this with the Fireboard factory controller and it worked without issue for lower heat cooks.

    • @TXSHeat
      @TXSHeat  Před 3 lety +5

      Hard to give simple answer so here is my best shot WSM 22 vs MB 1050 . The WSM will last a life time,, MB will not. WSM Has around 700sqinc of cook space compared to the MB's 1050. WSM does not come with a fan (many after market options) MB onboard controller, wiring and fan are all lacking what Aftermarkets models bring to the table (add that to the MB cost) - MB is a FUEL hog where WSM is much better at controlling heat (with experience). MB has three wins over the WSM - 1) Utilizing the available space is simple 2) high heat/grilling isn't really an option on the WSM 3) cleaning/storing.
      WSM is a better all around proven product. MB is great for what it is but not worth the money in my opinion.

    I have a Flame Boss 200, from 2016. Today they sent me a new blower. I can't fit it into the vent hole. I think I need something else. Where did you get that round thing that you put over the vents? Do they make one for a 18.5" WSM?

    • @MrMeJensen
      @MrMeJensen Před 3 lety +1

    • @nuraman00
      @nuraman00 Před 3 lety +1

      @@MrMeJensen Thanks for the prompt reply. I never got one with the 200, that one used springs at the end to it into the vent holes. The blower would go directly into the vent holes with the 200, without that round thing covering an entire vent. It looks like they changed the design, and that round thing is now used for the blower to snap into place.

      I am a ThermoWorks fan for sure. Hard to compare the 400 to Billow as it needs a separate controller which defeats the simplistic nature of the 400.
