Use on Kamado perfectly

My wife complains that I am unable to smoke or long roast on a charcoal grill because I leave the scene, and am derelict in my duty to the cooking. This is the answer. Not only does it feed just enough air to maintain temperature but it reports on vessel and meat temperature, as well as how hard the fan is working to keep it at my set point. When the fan is working hard it means either that the charcoal is almost spent, or the outside air temperature has dropped significantly. No, I do not have a short attention span, but I do have stuff to do during the day, so this is the perfect tool for me.

Could live without, BUT WHY?

I show off the Flame Boss 500 to all my family, friends, and co-workers every chance I get. This is the perfect pairing with my Big Joe II Kamado grill. I did have the blower go out on me and Flame Boss has sent me a replacement within minutes of me submitting the warranty claim.

Question:
I'm moving to Spain and taking my large big green egg with me. Is there a flame boss model made to run on 220volts 50Hz power? If not, can you recommend a comparable controller for use in Spain? Thanks.Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Hi Mark. The plug you receive depends on the country you select when checking out, so you'll need to select the European plug when you buy, as the American plug will not work once you move.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
