  • Thank you OhioEgger  That's perfect
  • Ohio, I searched and found lots of threads.   I can see the thread but on any of the "results" threads, it always says "Page Not Found"  Is the same thing happening on your end?

    It happens if you click "X results" but it works if you just click the name of the thread in  your search results.

    Egg Genius is a green FB400 with the ability to connect extra meat probes via y-adapters.  For a few extra bucks, you can get a FB500 with a screen and ability to monitor multiple meats without the y-adapters.  By eliminating those two extra parts, it's really not that much you would spend......plus you get the control head / screen which can make it a lot easier to set up and use if your wifi is wonky or you don't want to use it.
  • I like the Genius.  I use it for long cooks and that is where it shines.  It allows you to use up to 3 meat temp probes.  It does lack a display unit so adjustments and monitoring need to be done on your phone or tablet using the app.  Being able to monitor the cook from the inside or anywhere else for that matter is great.
