The Struggle with Pellet Smokers
Are you struggling with the controller on your pellet smoker? If so, you’re not alone! Many people have found that they really like their pellet smoker. They love the ease of use, the “set and forget” nature and of course, the flavor! However, there is often one major flaw. The electronics.

In older pellet smokers, the controls are often very rudimentary. Perhaps even just 2-3 settings without any temperature indicator. As pellet smokers became more popular, the controls evolved into simple dials with several settings for temperature. This was all better for the consumer! Then a rush of pellet smokers started hitting the market. Many of these were decent enough smokers and the controls were more advanced. However, to meet certain price points, the manufacturers often skimped on the QUALITY of the components. Especially the controls.
Digital readouts, nearly infinite temperature settings and Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity are great… if they work! If they are inaccurate or unreliable, that hundred plus dollar brisket could turn into next week’s dog food.
Step in – the FireBoard Pellet Drive!
The FireBoard Pellet Drive turns most pellet smokers into a FireBoard controlled and monitored cooking machine! We found a used and cheap (read – FREE!) Member’s Mark pellet smoker on Marketplace and found it to be a great candidate for this retrofit. The old controller was easy to remove for the Pellet Drive to take its place. It was easy to configure, fired right up, and held a steady temperature.
If you’re tired of not trusting your pellet smoker, try out the FireBoard Pellet Drive today!
