Best for Budget-conscious cooks needing integrated probe tracking and searing
The FB2 updates the 500-series platform with a digital LCD controller and a built-in meat probe connection. While cooking area and direct-sear versatility remain strengths, the small five-pound hopper leaves little margin for error on overnight smokes. Cleaning out accumulated ash still demands pulling out the primary grates and deflector plate.
What we like
- Controller supports plug-in meat probe directly on the unit
- Sliding sear plate allows direct flame finishing
- Accessible price for 518 square inches of cook surface
What to weigh up
- Small hopper capacity risks running out during long unattended cooks
- Firepot maintenance requires full removal of internal components
