FireBoard Announces the DC Drive!

FireBoard is proud to announce the launch of the FireBoard DC Drive, a controller specifically designed to power low voltage fans for charcoal grills and works with the Masterbuilt® Gravity Series® 800 and 1050 smoker/grills.  Support for XT and 1150 is underway and is coming soon.

With a simple controller retrofit, owners can utilize FireBoard’s advanced control providing industry leading temperature stability. The FireBoard DC Drive integrates a full stack of wireless connectivity including: WiFi, Bluetooth and S1G 900 Mhz.  The DC Drive also includes 6 probe ports, a USB-C charging port, and tactile buttons and knobs for easy adjustment and control.  

The powerful FireBoard Cloud allows the user to precisely monitor and control grill temperatures remotely using the FireBoard Mobile App or web Dashboard. Drive technology provides steady temperature control while also allowing users to run Drive Programs, executing pre-configured cooking steps, automatically adjusting set points throughout the cook.  The FireBoard Cloud also stores historical cook data and allows the user to compare previous cooks to live sessions with the Analyze feature.

The FireBoard DC Drive installs in minutes by using the grill’s existing hardware. Setup through the FireBoard Mobile App is quick and seamless, including WiFi configuration to quickly get connected to the FireBoard Cloud.

Pre-Orders for the DC Drive are currently open with units expected to ship by the end of April 2026. Support for additional models coming soon.
