Sorry for the delay. Busy day yesterday
The WiFi range is good but I don't know how much of that is down to my Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE access point. I get about 40% signal on the FireBoard when it's at the bottom of my garden, which is roughly 11 meters from the Ubiquiti.
You can set alarms per channel, and I compared the probe connectors to the ones on my Thermoworks Smoke and they're exactly the same. I didn't plug the Thermoworks probe into the FireBoard to test though because by the time the last pork shoulder had finished cooking it was 21h30 and I lit the fire before 05h30
Would you need to use other probes though? Whichever FireBoard model you buy will come with the amount of probes supported by that model, ie. 6 probes are included with the FireBoard Extreme.
I've never had a pork should fall apart on me as I tried to pick it up before. Holy crap they were soft. If anyone says that the pork shoulders from Costco might be iffy quality (ie. I've said this in the past
), they just haven't smoked them properly.
