Flameboss 300 discontinued?

Posts: 4
I've been thinking about picking up another Flameboss for a big cook in October (going to be running 2 eggs and a drum). I went to the flameboss website and the 300 model shows as discontinued. Did I miss something? I didn't think the 400 would replace the 300. Has anyone heard anything?

It’s my understanding that the 400 will be it moving forward. Also a model for BGE out soon. Not sure which model it will be.

Hopefully they come out with something that supports multiple meat probes like the 300. I don't see how they can consider the 400 an adequate replacement for the 300.

The 400 was marketed as an entry level controller $100 less than the “premier” 300. Many of us need the “bells and whistles” that the 300 provides, like the ability to use on all my cookers!

The BGE version of the 400 called Egg Genius will ship to dealers next week and has expandability up to 4 probes. Retail is 229.95. -

Got three dozen FB 400 that should be here on Thursday......will take some pics and advise.

Someone should ask @MichaelCollins what's up with their product lineup. I know nothing about FB and don't need a controller, but if I'm reading all of this correctly, they are replacing their flagship product that most rave about with a less robust model. Perhaps Michael will chime in.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

We created a simpler controller, model 400 to help us get to a lower entry-level price. Many backyard BBQ cooks told us that they didn't want to spend $349. It wasn't our intention to replace model 300 with 400 but model 400 is the only controller in production now. Model 500 launch is later than we expected but it will be introduced soon. It is the next evolutionary step of the controllers that we are known for producing. I expect it to have a retail price of $349.
We are also producing a co-branded controller for Big Green Egg, Egg Genious. Look for it on the shelf at your BGE dealer soon. -

Flame Boss 400 has single meat and pit probe capability. EGG Genius has single pit and up to three meat probe capabilities using Y connections.
Flame Boss 400 fits a variety of grills, including EGG. EGG has one less adapter plate, so not sure what grills it won't fit.
Both run on Flame Boss' apps,
Flame Boss 400 is $219. Egg Genius is $229.
We have both available and ship free. You'll need to call us for EGG, their rules.

The FB300 is going for crazy prices on e-bay, when you can find them. Used ones are going for almost new price. My buddy saw mine, and told me he wants a 300. I got him one on Amazon, and they showed 3 left at $329.00

It just bothers me to have everything in one unit, as some of my cookers generate a lot of heat near the fan. Replacing a fan is cheap. I don’t like my “all in one” Dell computer either. Prefer the separate tower and monitor!

Either way, the temp shouldn't be that high down there if you're using it as a controller for standard temps......its not meant to be a pizza oven controller, so it should be fine at the temps it's intended for. Plus, having a fan it's kind of self cooling.
