    @stlcharcoal is there going to be an adapter to allow the 200 to accept 3 probes??  Assuming no but had to ask...

    Someone on a Facebook site said they ordered a 300 today for $349.00. I have my concern if they are telling the truth.

    @GoooDawgs ... go the to middle of the first page and read the write up that @Yno posted ... he has been beta testing the 300.  Here is part of what he wrote:

    "The FB 300 will look just like the FB 200, but it uses splitters for the extra probes. The circuitry is different, so it isn't something that can turn a 200 into a 300 with firmware. The display looks the same, but the meat temp reading cycles through the three probes. The graph uses different colors for each probe (not useful if you are colorblind)."

    No, the 200 will not be able to do this.  New circuit board with some other fun stuff on it for future upgrades.  Fb200 was 2 yrs old, so good on them for continuing to innovate.

    BTW, I asked about 2 fans, and was told no for now......not enough power available, nor room for another plug.

    Maybe they'll quit selling the 200 and sell the 300 for the same price with two probes. Then sell the adapters and extra probes as an optional upgrade.

    I'm supposed to have my case of them end of next week.  They were waiting on the newer high-temp probes.

    How can the price be the same for the 200 and 300? I'm I missing something?

    Because it's basically the same unit as the 200 as far as internal components. The standard 300 will come with exacty the same plug in stuff as the 200.
    You need to buy extra meat probe and the "Y" splitter if you want to use all the features.

    Internals are different, but it will act just like a 200 if you don't buy the Y-adapters or extra probes.  I think the probes are higher temp as well.

    I checked in with them today and I'm hoping to have my 2 cases of them by end of next week.

    Just when I was ready to jump in on the smotbot I had to click on this thread. Decisions, decisions. I do like the simplicity of no fan with the smobot and I don't need a bunch of probes. Probably still leaning towards the smotbot.

    Speaking of SmoBot - they had a livestream Q&A last night on their Kickstarter page. They are planning to do another one next week so if there are any lingering questions might want to join in and they'll answer them. They've also sweetened the deals a bit. Anyone that signs on before March 22nd they are including an external battery pack. They mentioned they might have some other stretch goals coming up also.

    Thanks. I just pledged and hope they're able to reach their goal. I've checked out the site a few times and just watched the Q & A. I really appreciated many of the beta testers who post here for offering up their thoughts on this project. I don't mind saying that it's doubtful I would have jumped in without seeing so many positive experiences from the folks on here. You sons-of-bitches better not be just blowing smoke (-:

    Do you have a online retailer or just brick and mortar location? I'd much rather buy from you than someone else.
