I received a Gift Card for Christmas from my wife and it was very puzzling. The card was for a well known hardware store and for a pretty good amount. Well all of the company is finally gone and I had the chance to ask SWMBO what was I supposed to do with that much money at a hardware store. She said go take a look in the outdoor cooking area, I think you will find what you need.
Spotted it right away. The FB 200 and right next to it was the Battery Backup pack. I did some quick math and gave her a call. When I told her I didn't think there would be enough to cover both she said, "Don't forget that they give military a 10% discount." So I walked out the door with both for $332.98. The card was for $350 so I went back in bought a 25 lb bag of lump to go with it, and I still have a couple bucks on the card.
Such a sweet woman. Can't wait to fire it up for my next overnight Butt cook.

Nice addition to the arsenal, you'll love it. Sleep and an overnight cook without ruining a $25+ piece of meat is always a bonus.Large BGE - McDonald, PA

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!

Nice, I am a gadget lover but I would love one but with tax I would be out of pocket $570ish(Canadian). Just the fact that I could go out and still be able to monitor my egg would be great. I will use my digi-q till it dies then consider the upgrade.

Does that battery pack make it wireless(no ac)?
-
Correct, battery replaces A/C ! Have the same set up, very sweet !Ova B.

I have a crappy back patio with no power outlet, had to get the battery pack also. I was afraid it wouldn't be able to run the fan all day, but I've done cooks up to 10 hours with it and still had plenty of battery charge left. I'm really happy with the FB200!
