Who would accuse MeatCranium of doing a fluffy review? Those instructions though...one wrong move and you've got a hole in the wrong spot on the kettle.
Grill Top Experience Great Comment. You get pinned. I have been in communication with them and they have committed to making those changes. 🤞🏼Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Mark Thatcher I don’t know if they have improved the instructions at all, but yeah they are totally redundant, lol. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
I’ve come to expect dreadful instructions that accompany products we purchase. So I appreciate it when instructions are complete, clear and concise. One wonders why, if (some) manufacturers can engineer a product that works well, why they can’t draft a useful installation/information guide. I suspect you probably revisited your first installation to reverse the retainer ring you installed upside down. I’d have lost sleep had I not done that when I realized how well the second one went. Your TH-cam clip has somewhat prepped me for the arrival of my Flame Boss 400, which I will install on a Weber Smokey Mountain and a Weber Kettle. The ‘set it and forget it’ aspect of that Flame Boss appeals to me. Especially here in Toronto, where I BBQ and smoke 12 months of the year. It’s a challenge to maintain pit temperatures over long cooks when you’ve got 4 seasons of unpredictability. There’s never a dull moment. Best Wishes from Canada.
You are full of BBQ gadgets. This is pretty technical for lazy BBQ cook like myself. But still enjoy your sharing and that was a great review 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a bunch! Bought a 400 based on your review and instructions and just installed it. Your tips and add-on's on top of the pure s**t manual where invaluable.
Stefan van Gastel I’m glad I could help. I’ve used it a bunch of times now, and it seems to work pretty good, it does it shut off and reset it periodically, which drives me crazy. Thanks for watching and the support
Yeah had the same disconnect issue, after firmware upgrade (happend automatically after I reset it) there were no more issues, they seem to fix quite often: myflameboss.com/fw_releases
No one could ever say your reviews are info commercials. You always do the Good, the Bad and the Really Ugly. I am going to be doing a review with another Temp Control product starting next week. The way you drilled the hole was very informative and will have to do the same modification so I promise to give you credit in my video.
Love mine use it all the time! Little bit of a tip if you are trying to keep low temps like 200 to 225 damper the square like 3/4s of the way with tinfoil that way you can keep the top vent open more for better draft. The variable fan is a huge plus for me.

Thank you so much for this video! i just ordered my first flame boss for my cabinet style cooker. BTW my cooker has that nozzle that was pictured in the instructions and that is where i will hook the flame boss to it
I am considering several temp controllers and most if not all are not water sealed or even water resistant. I have blown several wireless transmitters going to bed with a brisket on and waking up 5 hours later and its sprinkling outside. Why cant they include a heat resistant shield that is splash proof to prevent that? The fan could still draw air from under the housing. Overall a great review with important info. Your stick burner hack with the foil over the grates works wonders and saved me tons instead of getting the heat management plates. Love the MeatCranium!
Stephen McGowan Great Comment. All sensible questions. This is my first go around with one of these devices, and that is definitely something to look into. I am so glad that I could help you out and save you some money. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Besides the instructions, it seems like mostly good stuff with it. I like the feature that you can be far away and still see it. With Bluetooth, I'm always just at the fringe of the range and have sirens, alarms and all kinds of things going off all the time. It drives me nuts!
Great detailed review.. I've tossed the idea up for years in buying a gadget to control my pit but just can't do it. I like controlling my own pits. Might as well buy one of those outdoor oven, plug in and walk away. Love the straight forward reviews Meat Head..! Keep them coming.
Joe's BBQ House I as well have been intrigued. I have some test I want to do like The SNS VS BBQ GRILL STONE. I need one of these devices to get the most fair testing. It’s does have its positives And Negatives. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
great honest review!! i know im late on viewing,fyi those are conduit nuts.they have conduit washers that specially fit for getting tight for a good seal. i use them on both sides of fitting for a perfect seal.i think comes in a 2 pack for around a buck.

MeatCranium BBQ AND REVIEW always enjoy your reviews I purchased the dragon because of your vid! Used your link as well! Hope you and yours have a merry Christmas!!
Hey Meat! You know this is My Kind of Vid! Well......I'm kinda dumb.....and so is my phone......so this is out for me. But You know I'm a true believer is the use of a Stoker. I guess they assume everyone knows how to put on a lock nut. Don't know why you want galvanized in your pit?? A black pipe cap with a little oil on it would be better...know? A good review Vid.......You will love using it! Smoke On!

I picked up the egg genius rebranded flame boss 400 this weekend used on a cook sat and sunday. instructions are horrible. the only thing I would add to your video from my experience was to plug in the unit, download app and sync to your phone and walk away for 45 min or so to let the unit update to latest software. I mine kept going off line until I got the notice on the update then it work flawless for two cooks. automatic updates are nice. good video!
Yeah Instructions sucked. I don’t think there was any updates when I had gotten mine. I think the updates were because of my video. Lol. They still have to correct a lot of stuff still but they are getting better. I’m glad to hear it work out well for you. Thanks for the support and watching Brother

Great Review of Flameboss ... Like that it actually works from a different location other then your house .. The Wi-Fi is defently nice to have and I like the graph .. I'm going to look into one .. Great Review Chris
1984 BBQ There honestly is some great things about it, and the freedom to leave you Pit and go places is a huge plus for me. The price is really Good, the speed It recoups the temp is impressive. They have a lot of work to do on there instructions and there App. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Hey, if you use that galvanized pipe cap just for keeping bugs out, that's great but be careful if you cook with the cap on (ie; when not using the flame boss). I've read that heating up galvanized steel will release toxic fumes. Do a search on "Galvanized steel BBQ" and decide for yourself.
Vincent Lok Yes I read the same thing and I made corrections in one of the following videos. I went with what Flame Boss told me. They told me wrong. Thanks for the support and watching Brother.
Thanks for the review; I had never heard of this product before. It might be interesting to see how much one of these devices can improve fuel efficiency/increase burn time as well as hold a given temp over the duration of a long cook. Congratulations again on breaking 5000 subscribers.
handcannon I adjusted the temps 4 different time and it got there in short periods of time. I will be testing this REALLY SOON!! Thanks for the support and watching Brother

You did a great review Meat. That 1 inch drill bit probably cost as much as the device!! Looks like it works well. I wonder about the durability for someone who grills a lot like us. Will it prep the food too?? LOL!
BBQ PIT DOG lol. I wish it prepped the food, that’d be nice. I hope they learn from this video and improve as a company. Maybe this is there wakeup call. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Wow I didnt realize the video was this old. Do You Have any Current favorite Temp Control Kits? The Flame Boss 400 is $219.00. on the Amazon right now. Not super inexpensive but not stupid ridiculous expensive either. I have seen nice setups like this without the wifi for under $130.00 I just don't know if I need Wi Fi alarms I could use bluetooth tho.That "Nut" is a electrical conduit locking Nut and you put it on so that it is like a bowl upside down. It has Teeth that are designed to bite into the metal surface and keep it from loosening. The way Meat Cranium installed it here is correct ! 3/4" National Pipe thread (water pipe ) is the thread on this thing and he is also correct use a 1" Drill. National Pipe Thread (NPT) or water pipe is always measured and is called 1/4" smaller than what the measurement is. 1/2" National Pipe is actually 3/4" when measured for example. The page that shows the "UNIVERSAL INSTALL" is for a 3/4" (NPT) pipe thread Gate Valve like many of the heavy Cabinet and Offset smokers use. Hope that helps clear that part up. ALWAYS USE BLACK IRON PIPE FITTINGS WHEN DEALING WITH FLAMES FWIW GALVANIZED PUTS OFF POISONOUS GASSES UNDER FLAMES. Those Directions were clearly lacking like showing where the reset button is and how long to hold it in and when. and the other things he covered here. I am looking for one for my Kingsford Pro 36" Offset smoker but it needs to attach to the round damper vents on the door on its giant firebox. I wonder how large that stainless dog dish adapter is? it looks about 6" That would be my only hope or else I could go buy a larger one. That black iron pipe cap is less than 1.00 wholesale Anywhere. Thanks for the great review. New Sub!
This was such a well done review and I would definitely watch this over and over if I just received the product! Definitely not a very simple install. Some cool features for sure though ! Don't own a kettle but was interested the whole way through :) Thanks for sharing !

MeatCranium BBQ AND REVIEW I’m trying to make a hole in my pit smoker to make the blower fit perfectly in the fire box. I will start making a 1in x 1in square open hole to attach the blower. Thanks for providing this information.
Great review brother! I am looking at those for when I get my offset back up and running! The air flow in my back yard is horrendous and I cannot maneuver the pit so that it can get better flow into it! Going to need something to help it breathe a little bit!
Cooking Is Amazing Yes Indeed. This is the ticket. The Flame Boss company is working at improving there app and all issues mentioned in the video. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Daniel Escobar as far as you want. You can go to a buddies house across town 45 minutes away it’s still control your pit. It’s pretty cool. Thanks for the support and watching.
Flame boss has a different set up for the BGE. It’s just a plate, no drilling on screwing to worry About. Look up FLAME BOSS tell them MEATCRANIUM on TH-cam sent ya. They don’t pay me. I just want them to know where potential Customers come from. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Michael Kennedy the air adjustment? You need to position the flame boss where the paddles aren’t touching when you move it to clear the ash. Thanks for the support and watching.
Nice review MC. Flame Boss should reimburse you for the second unit or at least send you some more bubble wrap. Small investment for R&D they should have done instead of you. My guess is that somehow it is less embarrassing to say we left out a $2.50 part to save cost vs we didn’t think to include it. Two sided instructions in the same language was pretty comical. Don’t forget leave the top vent open just a sliver. 😂 All that being said I can’t wait to see you post a video putting it through a live cook test. Looks intriguing.
Char Griller I love me some Bubble wrap!! I have some major Test for this piece of equipment coming up. And I will get a better handle onto how it really does. So far so good on the operation but the App needs some working on and the instructions.....REALLY? Lol. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
No Hippie BBQ & Cooking It’s actually pretty easy. I will be able to get better testing and results with this device. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Great review. I don't think you should use galvanized metal when you have any heat involved. Heating galvanized metal gives off a poisonous gas. I know its only a little cap but I would use the black pipe instead.
The zinc in galvanized metal will give off the fumes at just under 400°F. What you could easily do is build a small fire in your fire starter and run the galvanized nut through a metal wire and drop it in the fire until the fire is blazing hot and just let it cook a while. The cap mentioned. I believe was to be used to keep the grill sealed when not in use so it wouldn't matter, unless you plan to use the grill without the flame boss, in which case, get a black iron cap or drop the cap in the fire with the nut.
Great information bro. I can honesty say I'm on the fence about this one. For the average consumer this would definitely be a pain to understand and to install.
THEREALSHOWBBQ They are actively working on these changes as I type. I want them to be successful and I want the consumer to get a great product. I think both will happen. Sometimes, a dose of reality is what it takes to wake up people and companies. I wish them the best. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
thanks for this post. I recently purchased the Flameboss 500 online. I received no instructions. I had to find them online and the only thing they were good for was setting up the wifi. When i guy an kit for something i usually expect detailed instructions on what the parts are for and how they are to be installed, and i don't usually expect to buy extra pieces/parts, outside of a necessary tool. Literally no where does it say, btw you're going to need to drill a hole or two and you may want to purchase this part, not included. I have two of those plastic pieces i'm not even sure what they are for. Very disappointed.
I thought they made some improvements, evidently I was wrong. The instructions are crap, however the unit works great. You would think that they would have figured this out by now. Thanks for the support and watching.
1.5 years later, would you recommend? Strongly considering for use with my Weber Smokey Mountain. I'd love a set and forget option in a pellet cooker, but I'm limited on funds and space for another pit.
Visibly Charred absolutely. I’m going to make a consideration if your low on funds. The TIPTOPTEMP, is Freekin amazing and Under $50, and is pretty much set and forget. Negatives are: you can’t remotely control and you may need to make incremental adjustments through the cook. Thanks for the support and watching.
I just got the 500 today for my big joe 3 and i gave up trying to get it set up with the wifi. It definitely sucks. I'm thinking i will return it and try something else.
One of mine took a bit to set up, cause the app went down, also there is a reset button that you should push in and reset. Thanks for the support and watching.
Jack Smith 🤔HMMM! I’m not familiar with the 500, but I would figure there would be a reset button. There was no mention of one in the instruction manual. I know that they have improved some stuff since this video but I guess not entirely. The reset button on mine isn’t labeled, and it’s just a tiny little hole, that is very hard to notice, almost like they don’t want the customer to find it. The 400 has worked great after I got the Quirks worked out of it.
@@meatcranium4280 good news i just started pressing the next button and arrow buttons and some how stumbled onto a wifi password screen to input my wifi password. Don't know how i got there but after i figured out how to input my password and activated it (which took 4 tries) it finally connected. I had to unplug it a few times and find that window a few times but after it took it it started downloading new firmwares and whatnot. That took a while but everything is now working. Hopefully i don't have to do this again.

Chocaboy unless they are donated by the company to do a review, I can’t. They are pretty expensive. Flame boss is affordable for what it does, compared to the BBQ GURU. Thanks for the support and watching, sorry it took a bit to get back.
I dont like it, nothing better than a good ole vent to control the air flow. When it comes to my grill, its done old school. Only gadget outside I use is a temp probe.

I agree with you to a point, but when I'm smoking deer sausage and need to change the temp a few times during the process I can do that on my phone while I'm fishing :)

I do NOT at all like the Idea of drilling a hole in my shiny grill, and breaking that coating at all... Think I'll pass on that one. BUT!!! i I had an offset smoker of sorts like your other one... Yea, not a problem, but not any Webber.
Does that fit your Oklahoma joe smoker Also I brought one of your knives and I noticed it was coated with oil. Do you recommend me cleaning the knife before I use it or is it cooking oil on the blade I’m so excited to use it just wanted to know the proper care
Robert Cruz I highly recommend watching some Carbon Steel care Knife Videos. Wash the knife, Immediately Dry it, then keep a light coat of oil on the outside, this is done to prevent rusting. Over time the knife will form a Patina (good rust), which the blade darkens. I actually forced a Patina onto my blade by : Drying, wiping with alcohol, then soaking in Lime juice overnight. The blade will darken up. I will eventually get around to making a video of the care and maintenance of one. I think I can get it to fit on the Oklahoma JOE’S. I just need to use some ingenuity.

mine got wet while I was at the store I can control the temp while shopping however I turned it down and when I got back it wouldn't turn on anymore. I asked flame boss if its water proof they said they don't know if it is or isn't , anyways they made me jump all around just to get a replacement. I'm going with amazon next time at least that way is somethin happens I don't have to be stuck dealing with 10 people. by the way its not weather resistant or water proof so cover it up at all times with a plastic bag if u step out for a few mins
the I believe that none of them are waterproof even the BBQ GURU. Sorry you went through all that, but glad to hear that they replaced it. Thanks for the support and watching.
It looks like Flame boss didn't have any engineers working on this project, they just hire a bunch of people from Ikea who like to draw pictures. Then they put in some mystery pictures just for laughs. I'm surprised they didn't add a round hole and a square peg.
I think they are getting there crap together. Thanks for for comment, and reminding me that I need to follow up with them. Thanks for the support and watching
So i've had my Flameboss 500 for some months now, and honestly have not always used it since buying my Weber kettle. You don't really need it on a Weber kettle. Anyhow after several attempts and trying to tweak what i was going to see if i could get it to work, i've had no success. The controller is advertised as "universal" and compatible with Chargriller offset smokers. It is not or at least not with my Chargriller competition pro 8125. If use the controller to heat the griller it never gets above 200. If I heat up the griller first and use the controller to maintain temperature, it causes the temp to fall below 200. Other than the temperature monitoring features, it is a complete waste of money.

dude that fan costs $10 lol they beat you in the head charging you $200 lol But I guess their software and getting the job done is what really matters... 7:10 - actually having two flyers is a good thing to add, so that users will get it right the first time. some pros (pit masters) will underestimate the manual, by including a second flyer will really avoid any doubts. 10:29 - lmao

@@meatcranium4280 would be nice if you made a full video showing how you smoke food with it and if it’s really worth buying. I’m trying to build my own using Arduino microcontroller which should cost less than $30 with a much better powerful fan but I have no idea how this fan stuff really works with charcoals and wood. I need to know the key points and fundamentals how , what and why these fan blowers will help smoking food. I think it’s fully possible to have offset smokers to be fully automated like pellet smokers.
Great gadget Managing the temp while away is a great feature . But putting the instruction in English 2 times is just hilarious. just what were they thinking 🤣

I just wish that flame boss would reach out to meater (which IMO is a killer product) and somehow join the apps so that I can cut down on cables even further. The company that does that will make a lot of money.
It was great. Until the pit temp jack went bad. Then it cannot be fixed. Period. Just out of warranty and they expect me to fork over $300 for another one. Nope.

Why would you spend that much money on a Flame Boss and then use a shit-ass Weber??? Get yourself a ceramic kamado grill to throw that onto!! I recommend Primo or Kamado Joe

Galvanized fitting or metal when heated up give out toxic fumes probably why they not included

I have blown several wireless transmitters going to bed with a brisket on and waking up 5 hours later and its sprinkling outside. Why cant they include a heat resistant shield that is splash proof to prevent that? The fan could still draw air from under the housing. Overall a great review with important info.

great honest review!! i know im late on viewing,fyi those are conduit nuts.they have conduit washers that specially fit for getting tight for a good seal. i use them on both sides of fitting for a perfect seal.i think comes in a 2 pack for around a buck.

for sure just the unit unless your doing bbq competitions, you can just get a room instead of sleeping in a tent lol
Very informative video. Thank you
Geno cooks Keto & Moore thanks Brother, I try to make them entertaining
Hey Meat! You know this is My Kind of Vid! Well......I'm kinda dumb.....and so is my phone......so this is out for me. But You know I'm a true believer is the use of a Stoker.
I guess they assume everyone knows how to put on a lock nut. Don't know why you want galvanized in your pit?? A black pipe cap with a little oil on it would be better...know?
A good review Vid.......You will love using it! Smoke On!

I picked up the egg genius rebranded flame boss 400 this weekend used on a cook sat and sunday. instructions are horrible.
the only thing I would add to your video from my experience was to plug in the unit, download app and sync to your phone and walk away for 45 min or so to let the unit update to latest software. I mine kept going off line until I got the notice on the update then it work flawless for two cooks. automatic updates are nice. good video!
Yeah Instructions sucked. I don’t think there was any updates when I had gotten mine. I think the updates were because of my video. Lol.

Great Review of Flameboss ... Like that it actually works from a different location other then your house .. The Wi-Fi is defently nice to have and I like the graph .. I'm going to look into one .. Great Review Chris

Hey, if you use that galvanized pipe cap just for keeping bugs out, that's great but be careful if you cook with the cap on (ie; when not using the flame boss). I've read that heating up galvanized steel will release toxic fumes. Do a search on "Galvanized steel BBQ" and decide for yourself.
Vincent Lok Yes I read the same thing and I made corrections in one of the following videos. I went with what Flame Boss told me. They told me wrong. Thanks for the support and watching Brother.
Thanks for the review; I had never heard of this product before. It might be interesting to see how much one of these devices can improve fuel efficiency/increase burn time as well as hold a given temp over the duration of a long cook. Congratulations again on breaking 5000 subscribers.

Wow I didnt realize the video was this old. Do You Have any Current favorite Temp Control Kits? The Flame Boss 400 is $219.00. on the Amazon right now. Not super inexpensive but not stupid ridiculous expensive either. I have seen nice setups like this without the wifi for under $130.00 I just don't know if I need Wi Fi alarms I could use bluetooth tho.That "Nut" is a electrical conduit locking Nut and you put it on so that it is like a bowl upside down. It has Teeth that are designed to bite into the metal surface and keep it from loosening. The way Meat Cranium installed it here is correct ! 3/4" National Pipe thread (water pipe ) is the thread on this thing and he is also correct use a 1" Drill. National Pipe Thread (NPT) or water pipe is always measured and is called 1/4" smaller than what the measurement is. 1/2" National Pipe is actually 3/4" when measured for example. The page that shows the "UNIVERSAL INSTALL" is for a 3/4" (NPT) pipe thread Gate Valve like many of the heavy Cabinet and Offset smokers use. Hope that helps clear that part up. ALWAYS USE BLACK IRON PIPE FITTINGS WHEN DEALING WITH FLAMES FWIW GALVANIZED PUTS OFF POISONOUS GASSES UNDER FLAMES. Those Directions were clearly lacking like showing where the reset button is and how long to hold it in and when. and the other things he covered here. I am looking for one for my Kingsford Pro 36" Offset smoker but it needs to attach to the round damper vents on the door on its giant firebox. I wonder how large that stainless dog dish adapter is? it looks about 6" That would be my only hope or else I could go buy a larger one. That black iron pipe cap is less than 1.00 wholesale Anywhere. Thanks for the great review. New Sub!

Do you know the dimensions of the blower output? I mean the square side that get attached to the smoker
That would be 1 inch x 1 inch
MeatCranium BBQ AND REVIEW I’m trying to make a hole in my pit smoker to make the blower fit perfectly in the fire box. I will start making a 1in x 1in square open hole to attach the blower. Thanks for providing this information.
Did they update the instructions? did they make the changes you requested?
They made a few changes and the newer version seem to be better, however mostly still vague.
Great review brother! I am looking at those for when I get my offset back up and running! The air flow in my back yard is horrendous and I cannot maneuver the pit so that it can get better flow into it! Going to need something to help it breathe a little bit!

Great Vid..... Merry Christmas
Wynndaddy Thanks I appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you too
can you attach one of these to an Oklahoma joe smoker?
Nice review MC. Flame Boss should reimburse you for the second unit or at least send you some more bubble wrap. Small investment for R&D they should have done instead of you. My guess is that somehow it is less embarrassing to say we left out a $2.50 part to save cost vs we didn’t think to include it. Two sided instructions in the same language was pretty comical. Don’t forget leave the top vent open just a sliver. 😂 All that being said I can’t wait to see you post a video putting it through a live cook test. Looks intriguing.
Char Griller I love me some Bubble wrap!! I have some major Test for this piece of equipment coming up. And I will get a better handle onto how it really does. So far so good on the operation but the App needs some working on and the instructions.....REALLY? Lol. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Very detailed review. I can't see drilling into my kettle. Im not handy like that
No Hippie BBQ & Cooking It’s actually pretty easy. I will be able to get better testing and results with this device. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
Great review. I don't think you should use galvanized metal when you have any heat involved. Heating galvanized metal gives off a poisonous gas. I know its only a little cap but I would use the black pipe instead.
That Is what Flame Boss recommended, I have heard that before too. Thanks for the support and watching brother
The zinc in galvanized metal will give off the fumes at just under 400°F. What you could easily do is build a small fire in your fire starter and run the galvanized nut through a metal wire and drop it in the fire until the fire is blazing hot and just let it cook a while.
The cap mentioned. I believe was to be used to keep the grill sealed when not in use so it wouldn't matter, unless you plan to use the grill without the flame boss, in which case, get a black iron cap or drop the cap in the fire with the nut.
Bu the way INKBIRD makes good stuff... I use there Humidity & Temperature device in my Grow Tent for MICRO-GREENS.
BWWGL9 I agree. The 4 probe temp device I got from them is phenomenal. Thanks for the support and watching
Great information bro. I can honesty say I'm on the fence about this one. For the average consumer this would definitely be a pain to understand and to install.
THEREALSHOWBBQ They are actively working on these changes as I type. I want them to be successful and I want the consumer to get a great product. I think both will happen.

thanks for this post. I recently purchased the Flameboss 500 online. I received no instructions. I had to find them online and the only thing they were good for was setting up the wifi. When i guy an kit for something i usually expect detailed instructions on what the parts are for and how they are to be installed, and i don't usually expect to buy extra pieces/parts, outside of a necessary tool. Literally no where does it say, btw you're going to need to drill a hole or two and you may want to purchase this part, not included. I have two of those plastic pieces i'm not even sure what they are for.
Very disappointed.
I thought they made some improvements, evidently I was wrong. The instructions are crap, however the unit works great. You would think that they would have figured this out by now. Thanks for the support and watching.
@@meatcranium4280 you'd think for nearly $370 bucks you'd get all the bells and whistles.
@@ironman44320 I know right.
1.5 years later, would you recommend? Strongly considering for use with my Weber Smokey Mountain. I'd love a set and forget option in a pellet cooker, but I'm limited on funds and space for another pit.
Visibly Charred absolutely. I’m going to make a consideration if your low on funds. The TIPTOPTEMP, is Freekin amazing and Under $50, and is pretty much set and forget. Negatives are: you can’t remotely control and you may need to make incremental adjustments through the cook. Thanks for the support and watching.
I barely saw what the instructions looked like and knew what that last page was...it’s if you’re threading into an ball valve intake on a UDS
I just got the 500 today for my big joe 3 and i gave up trying to get it set up with the wifi. It definitely sucks. I'm thinking i will return it and try something else.
One of mine took a bit to set up, cause the app went down, also there is a reset button that you should push in and reset. Thanks for the support and watching.
@@meatcranium4280 i have the flame bose 500 and i don't see any button or small hole like on your 400.
Jack Smith 🤔HMMM! I’m not familiar with the 500, but I would figure there would be a reset button. There was no mention of one in the instruction manual. I know that they have improved some stuff since this video but I guess not entirely. The reset button on mine isn’t labeled, and it’s just a tiny little hole, that is very hard to notice, almost like they don’t want the customer to find it. The 400 has worked great after I got the Quirks worked out of it.
@@meatcranium4280 good news i just started pressing the next button and arrow buttons and some how stumbled onto a wifi password screen to input my wifi password. Don't know how i got there but after i figured out how to input my password and activated it (which took 4 tries) it finally connected. I had to unplug it a few times and find that window a few times but after it took it it started downloading new firmwares and whatnot. That took a while but everything is now working. Hopefully i don't have to do this again.
Jack Smith Hopefully not. You will like it a lot. Mine took a bit to get use to but I really like it now.

I dont like it, nothing better than a good ole vent to control the air flow. When it comes to my grill, its done old school. Only gadget outside I use is a temp probe.

I do NOT at all like the Idea of drilling a hole in my shiny grill, and breaking that coating at all... Think I'll pass on that one. BUT!!! i I had an offset smoker of sorts like your other one... Yea, not a problem, but not any Webber.
Does that fit your Oklahoma joe smoker
Also I brought one of your knives and I noticed it was coated with oil. Do you recommend me cleaning the knife before I use it or is it cooking oil on the blade I’m so excited to use it just wanted to know the proper care
Robert Cruz I highly recommend watching some Carbon Steel care Knife Videos. Wash the knife, Immediately Dry it, then keep a light coat of oil on the outside, this is done to prevent rusting. Over time the knife will form a Patina (good rust), which the blade darkens. I actually forced a Patina onto my blade by : Drying, wiping with alcohol, then soaking in Lime juice overnight. The blade will darken up. I will eventually get around to making a video of the care and maintenance of one.
I think I can get it to fit on the Oklahoma JOE’S. I just need to use some ingenuity. Thanks for the support and watching Brother
MeatCranium BBQ AND REVIEW thank you

what about ashes falling down the hole?
Jason F It’s suppose to not be a problem because the fan will blow it out. I personally haven’t seen ash collect in the hole. Thanks for the support and watching.
mine got wet while I was at the store I can control the temp while shopping however I turned it down and when I got back it wouldn't turn on anymore. I asked flame boss if its water proof they said they don't know if it is or isn't , anyways they made me jump all around just to get a replacement. I'm going with amazon next time at least that way is somethin happens I don't have to be stuck dealing with 10 people. by the way its not weather resistant or water proof so cover it up at all times with a plastic bag if u step out for a few mins

Hey Meat, is it still working after 2 years?
It looks like Flame boss didn't have any engineers working on this project, they just hire a bunch of people from Ikea who like to draw pictures. Then they put in some mystery pictures just for laughs. I'm surprised they didn't add a round hole and a square peg.
I think they are getting there crap together. Thanks for for comment, and reminding me that I need to follow up with them. Thanks for the support and watching
So i've had my Flameboss 500 for some months now, and honestly have not always used it since buying my Weber kettle. You don't really need it on a Weber kettle. Anyhow after several attempts and trying to tweak what i was going to see if i could get it to work, i've had no success. The controller is advertised as "universal" and compatible with Chargriller offset smokers. It is not or at least not with my Chargriller competition pro 8125. If use the controller to heat the griller it never gets above 200. If I heat up the griller first and use the controller to maintain temperature, it causes the temp to fall below 200. Other than the temperature monitoring features, it is a complete waste of money.

Completely Agree, that would be so epic. Thanks for watching and commenting
If you paid $2.78 for the galvanized cap then Lowes probably paid $ 1.25 wholesale. Flame boss would probably pay close to the $1.25.
stu I’m pretty sure galvanized steel puts off a poison gas when heated
Its actually much less than that probably 25-50 cents for a black iron one.
It was great. Until the pit temp jack went bad. Then it cannot be fixed. Period. Just out of warranty and they expect me to fork over $300 for another one. Nope.

Connectivity of this device is terrible. Setting it up is a horrible experience, and then it does not connect in the back yard, even when every single other device I own does. I would have gotten more value for money throwing it directly into my Kamado Joe
Why would you spend that much money on a Flame Boss and then use a shit-ass Weber??? Get yourself a ceramic kamado grill to throw that onto!! I recommend Primo or Kamado Joe
