Flame Boss and BBQ Guru were created by engineers, so right off the bat, there’s some assurance of products built to do what they do, incredibly well.

If your interest is focused on a good cook, without too many bells and whistles, the basic models of both — the DynaQ and Flame Boss 400 — are sufficient. Its black color, wide stand, and dark gray flame emblazoned across its front gives it a serious look.BBQ Guru the company also carries a line of smokers and grills with related accessories, BBQ sauce, rubs, and injections, and tools, knives, apparel, smoke wood, and thermometers. More on the solidly stable stand; it also allows it to be mounted by 4 screw holes, added for attaching it to a surface for permanency if desired. So, Roger partnered with his brother Michael for what would be their second successful business venture. The controller can be used standalone, with all settings able to be made on the unit, and info displayed on an LED display. Besides being connected to the probes, the ATC is also connected to or has an inbuilt variable speed fan that is firmly fixed to a bottom vent, to control the amount of air that can flow into the BBQ or smoker.

The joy of smoking can go horribly wrong if the temperature isn’t consistent throughout the smoking process. Based in Apopka, FL, FlameBoss, was founded in 2013 by Roger Collins, a computer engineer and smoked barbecue fan.This obviously needs to be fixed by checking seals, replacing them if necessary, double-checking vent positions, and using kill plugs if required. Wouldn’t it be nice to have the stable temperature control of an indoor oven outdoors in your smoker? So you set the desired temperature for the food(s), the temperature for the grill/smoker that the food should cook at, and the desired cook time.
