FireBoard Pulse - Stainless Steel
Model: FBWP-SS
FireBoard Pulse - Stainless Steel. Say hello to the FireBoard Pulse, the ultimate wireless thermometer that tracks both meat and grill temps with dual sensors. No wires, no fuss! Pair it with your smartphone or FireBoard 2 via Bluetooth, or boost its range with an S1G Antenna for rock-solid connectivity, even through metal grills. With a sleek chisel-tip design, 24-hour battery life, and a 10-minute magnetic charge, the Pulse makes precision cooking a breeze.
A wireless meat thermometer that does it all.
The Pulse wireless probe will track your cook’s internal temperature and the ambient temperature of the grill using two sensors – one near the tip, and one in the ceramic end. No wires are required.
Pulse connects to the FireBoard 2 series, the FireBoard Spark, Yoder Smokers, and smartphones using Bluetooth. By adding an S1G Antenna to a standalone FireBoard 2 controller, the Pulse’s range increases significantly, allowing for better connectivity through metal grill bodies.

Battery Life and Charging
We understand that for serious grillers and smokers, a long battery life is required. That’s why we’ve engineered the FireBoard Pulse to deliver:
- Extended Use: Up to 24 hours of continuous operation on a single charge.
- Rapid Charging: A full charge takes only 10 minutes, getting you back to your cook quickly.
- USB-C Compatibility: The charger uses USB-C for fast, universal charging.
- Innovative Stacking: Pulse chargers feature magnetic contacts, allowing you to stack multiple chargers. When one is plugged into a USB-C cable, all stacked chargers will charge simultaneously, perfect for those managing multiple Pulse probes.
This combination of long battery life and fast, flexible charging ensures that your Pulse is always ready when you are, whether you’re doing a quick sear or a marathon smoking session.
Durability and Longevity
The FireBoard Pulse is built to last, designed for the demands of both home enthusiasts and professional pitmasters:
- High-Temperature Resilience: Engineered to withstand the high heat of grills and smokers over extended periods.
- Weather-Resistant: With its IP67 rating, the Pulse can handle rain, snow, and accidental submersion.
- Quality Materials: Constructed with high-grade materials to ensure longevity and consistent performance over time.
We stand behind the durability of the Pulse, but as with any precision instrument, proper care and handling will ensure the best long-term performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Pulse control the FireBoard 2 Drive fan?
Yes, it can. While temperature readings may vary due to proximity to cooking meat, our testing has shown that these variations are within the same deviation range seen in standard wired ambient probes tied down with grill clips.
Do I need an S1G Antenna to connect the Pulse to the FireBoard?
While not strictly necessary, we highly recommend using the S1G Antenna for the best experience. You can still use the Pulse via Bluetooth connection to your FireBoard 2 without an S1G Antenna, but the S1G Antenna enables long-range connectivity, significantly expanding your monitoring range.
How long does the Pulse's battery last on a single charge?
The Pulse’s battery will last approximately 24 hours on a single charge under normal use conditions. This may vary depending on usage patterns and environmental factors.
The Pulse is water-resistant with an IP67 rating, meaning it’s safe to use in rainy conditions and can be washed with soap and water.
While it can be cleaned in a dishwasher, we do not recommend this method as cleaning chemicals commonly used in dishwashers may cause buildup, reducing the Pulse’s ability to charge properly. In our field testing, we’ve found that a little dish soap and water is often all that is required to fully clean the Pulse.
Can I use the Pulse with older FireBoard models?
The Pulse is not compatible with older FireBoard models (e.g. FBX11). It’s designed to work specifically with the FireBoard 2 series. However, we have not ruled out adding this functionality in the future.
How many Pulse probes can I connect to a single FireBoard device?
You can connect up to 32 Pulse probes to a single FireBoard 2 device equipped with an S1G antenna. This allows for extensive monitoring of multiple cooking zones or dishes simultaneously.
Does the Pulse work as a standalone device without a FireBoard?
Yes, the FireBoard Pulse can work as a standalone device by connecting directly to your smartphone via Bluetooth. However, using it with a nearby FireBoard 2 is recommended so that you can leave your grill/smoker unattended and use the mobile app on your smartphone to continue monitoring from anywhere.
Can I set alarms or notifications using the Pulse?
Yes, you can set temperature alarms and receive notifications through the FireBoard app when using the Pulse. This works for any connectivity method you use (e.g. S1G via FireBoard 2, Bluetooth via smartphone, etc.)
Is the FireBoard app required to use the Pulse?
Yes, the FireBoard app is required to set up and get the most out of your Pulse. Currently, it’s not compatible with third-party apps, but all features are accessible through the FireBoard app, ensuring a seamless and integrated experience. The FireBoard mobile app is free to download and use.
How does the battery life of the Pulse compare to other wireless probes?
The FireBoard Pulse offers approximately 24 hours of continuous use on a single charge, which is at the top end of the market for wireless probes. Like other high-end wireless probes on the market, Pulse will charge to full within 10-15 minutes. What sets the Pulse apart in this category is the innovative stacking charger system, allowing you to quickly and easily charge multiple probe chargers simultaneously using a single USB-C cable.
