Using the FireBoard Drive System
EN
The FireBoard 2 Drive has the FireBoard Drive Control System built in. Fireboard Drive Control
System is designed to control the most 12V fans. Fans are most effective when a stable fire has been
established and vents are adjusted accordingly. Every smoker is different, learning how to achieve a
steady temperature by controlling your vents will make your fan more efficient.
Setup Your Fan
Your fan should be the primary source of air for
your fire. A secure and air-tight installation is best.
There are likely fans and adapters built for your
smoker to get the ideal fit - most 12V fans with
2.5mm plugs work with FireBoard 2 Drive.
Connect the Fan
Your fan will plug into the 2.5mm barrel plug. The
FireBoard's battery is fully capable of driving your
fan - for longer cooks we recommend plugging in
your FireBoard unit.
