Flame boss question

not sure the fan is working because the screen shows 0 for fan speed. Is there a way to adjust the speed?

It only turns on the fan when it needs it. If pit temp is above the set temp, the fan should be off.

I realize that, but pit is set on 250 and temp is around 180. Showing 0 fan speed

I have a flameboss question too that I’ll add in here... do y’all usually let close the egg and put fan on right after lighting or do you leave egg open a while to build up a fire? I left it open the last couple cooks and it took a while to get back down to 225.

It’s a lot easier to get the temp up than down. I leave it open until it gets starts to get close, but never over the desired temp.

Guess this is a piggybacking thread now.
I’m using a 300 with my iPhone and it works seamlessly. Just wondered if there was a way to make it set off an alert on my phone rather than just the controller outside that I can’t hear when the alarm does go off. -

skellis614 saidGo to controller tab and sound. Works like a charm.

I use Alexa to check the temp when I’m in the house. The grill is on the lower back porch I hate going down the stairs to check the temp.
Now I’m in to see when other FlameBoss users plug in the fan or start using it. I’ve tried multiply different ways and always seem to overshoot my desired temp. 240-250.
Any idea if using a SS or CI grid makes a difference with the pit probe temp?Atlanta, GA

@Kevinboatright I wouldn't think the type of grate you have would make a difference. I'm a new flameboss user, but I usually light a single spot with a Rutland fire starter, leave the dome open, and once it burns out I shut the dome adjust the smokeware cap, let it get to 150-200* and plug in the fan.
I give the egg a good hour to come to temp/burn off VOC's before I put on the meat~ John - https://www.instagram.com/hoosier_egger

I think as long as you have a solid light on your fire, the FB will get you there regardless of individual method.
I light the coals in one spot, let them get to about a softball sized area of red, and I'll put in all the hardware and get the FB going. This gives me time to finish any prep. Once I have a stable temperature and thin blue smoke, I'm in the business of cooking.
My FB has never let me down. It's a really good unit.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS -
