Flame Boss

The apllication ads doesn’t make any sense…

This thing converted my vision grill into the worlds greatest slow cooker/smoker. This has given me so much confidence to cook all sorts of different meats. This is a good purchase and if you own a vision grill, Kamado Joe or anything similar buy it and use it.

I did an update and now my app will only read in degrees celsius.

Use the flame boss for my outdoor wood furnace. It works perfect very happy with it to keep me notified about the temps.

Bought this a few years ago. It’s ok. It works. However the main reason I bought it was for cloud functionality. So what good is it if you can’t connect to the cloud during holidays and other critical times. I made do and used it manually but I could have just used a simple thermometer for that too. Cloud functionality isn’t a new technology. They need to do better. I suspect this is more of a financial problem on their end.

Don’t waste your time.

I have owned a Flame Boss more than 5 years and the device itself works very well and does what you would expect. The servers that power the app on your device are not good. If you use your flame boss on most any normal day of the week it works just fine. When are there issues you may ask? Most any holiday like 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas to name a few. It is SUPER irritating to have this issue consistently every holiday and it has been that way ever since I bought the device, this has been an issue for MANY years. Even though I recently had to replace the fan and bought additional probes I think I’m done.

Flame Boss must have needed more sales because they took away the ability to monitor cooks via the app for the 200. This is so disappointing. I appreciate the token discount on an upgrade, but how can I trust that in a few years I don’t get squeezed again for another upgrade.

Still love it even thought mine is about 10 years old. Still works. Sometimes there’s hiccups with the app but it’s rare and my Humphreys smoker still works great without it. Maybe one day I’ll purchase a new and approved one but can’t seem to justify spending the money when my old one still works great. I’m just glad that they continue to allow the app to work with older models.

I have a background making things and i had an idea for making a smoker controller. No need! This works perfectly. Works better than anything i would have made. I don’t feel a need to share my cooks, but being able to access the cook while away from the house is awesome. Having a warming temp after meat temp achieved is great! Lid open/closed detection without a specific extra sensor??? Wow! Seriously. Great job Wants: one or two extra meat probes and then control around the coldest one Or Bluetooth connection to another meat probe unit Adaptors for different grills. I 3d printed one for mine. Also “no data collected”?!? Swooooooooooon
