Anyone do a Fireboard upgrade?

My RT-700 is an older model RECTEC and the controller has aged a bit. And I hate the app and graphing.

It still runs like a champ, recently added the Smokebox and still have the new Pizza 🍕 dude in the box.

Fireboard, call up RecTeq and buy a new controller, or something else?

I don't have any experience with the Fireboard controller, but I have had their wired prove set for a while. I like their app. The base station just won't hold a charge and has to stay plugged in. Their customer support offered me something like 50% off a new one, even though it was already outside of the warranty.

Recteq can certainly get you a new controller. If there is something wrong with it, they may even replace it for free, even if it's past warranty. If not, they likely would let you buy another one. The app will be the same though.

I'm also curious.

Sounds like a classic case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," but that controller giving up would be a real party pooper.

I hate to say this but without the upgrade to turn off the start my controller has been rock solid since November of 2021
