FireBoard Pulse Wireless Meat Thermometer takes the guesswork out of grilling and smoking with accurate, real-time temperature monitoring and no wires running from your food to your thermometer. Featuring dual temperature sensors, Bluetooth 5.3, and advanced S1G wireless technology, the FireBoard Pulse tracks both your meat's internal temperature and the surrounding cooking temperature in one compact wireless probe.
Whether you're smoking brisket overnight, grilling thick steaks, roasting a turkey, or cooking competition BBQ, FireBoard Pulse helps you monitor your cook without constantly opening the grill. Temperature readings are available through the FireBoard mobile app, where you can track your cooking progress, set temperature alerts, and review cooking data.
What sets the FireBoard Pulse apart from many other wireless meat thermometers is its integration with the FireBoard ecosystem. Use it directly with your smartphone through Bluetooth, connect it to compatible FireBoard 2 controllers, or add an S1G Antenna to a FireBoard 2 controller for significantly extended wireless range and improved connectivity through metal grill bodies.

- Long-Range Monitoring: S1G technology offers significantly greater wireless range when used with a compatible FireBoard 2 controller and S1G Antenna.
- FireBoard App Integration: Track temperatures, set custom alerts, and review cooking data from your smartphone.
- Up to 24 Hours of Battery Life: Designed for long smoking sessions, including brisket and pork shoulder cooks.
- Fast Charging: Fully charges in approximately 10 minutes.
- High-Temperature Performance: Stainless steel version supports ambient temperatures up to 662°F, with limited-duration searing capability.
- IP67 Water Resistance: Built to handle outdoor cooking environments and easy cleaning.
- Works Without a FireBoard Controller: Connect directly to a compatible smartphone using Bluetooth.
The FireBoard Pulse features two integrated temperature sensors designed to give you a more complete picture of your cook.
- Internal Temperature Sensor: Located near the tip of the probe, this sensor measures the internal temperature of your meat so you know when your food reaches your desired doneness.
- External Temperature Sensor: Located near the ceramic end of the probe, this sensor measures the ambient cooking temperature surrounding your food.
With both readings available in the FireBoard app, you can monitor your meat and cooking environment simultaneously without using separate wired probes.
Bluetooth and S1G Connectivity – More Ways to Monitor Your CookFireBoard Pulse uses two wireless communication technologies to provide flexibility for different cooking setups.
Bluetooth 5.3 – Connect Directly to Your Smartphone
Use the FireBoard Pulse as a standalone wireless meat thermometer by connecting it directly to your compatible iOS or Android smartphone through Bluetooth.
This setup is ideal for backyard grilling, roasting, and cooking sessions where your smartphone remains within Bluetooth range of the probe.
S1G Wireless – Extended Range with FireBoard 2
For longer-range monitoring, FireBoard Pulse supports S1G wireless technology when paired with a compatible FireBoard 2 series controller equipped with an S1G Antenna.
S1G operates at a lower frequency than Bluetooth and is designed to provide improved connectivity over longer distances and through obstacles, including metal grill and smoker bodies.
When connected through a compatible FireBoard controller, temperature data can be accessed through the FireBoard cloud and mobile app, allowing you to monitor your cook remotely when the controller has an internet connection.
FireBoard Pulse Wireless Range| Connection Type | Manufacturer-Reported Minimum Range |
|---|---|
| S1G – Line of Sight | 1,400+ feet |
| S1G – Obstructed | 150+ feet |
| Bluetooth – Line of Sight | 250+ feet |
| Bluetooth – Obstructed | 30+ feet |
Wireless range depends on grill construction, walls, surrounding obstacles, electronic interference, and environmental conditions. S1G connectivity requires a compatible FireBoard 2 controller and S1G Antenna.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
