An estimated $60,000–$70,000 in sales. That's the value of knowing what's happening with your cook, even when you're not standing next to the smoker. FireBoard.

Today at FireBoard Labs we had an incredible guest stop in for a factory tour! John Cleary of CMC Calibration in Farley, MO. has been a pivotal part of operations here at FireBoard. Not only has John inspired CEO & Founder Ted Conrad in wide world of temperatures but his company assists in the getting our equipment NIST-traceable certifications. John watches the intricate tasks the JUKI pick-and-place machines perform as it places (SMT) components onto the PCB, then it moves it it along and you can watch it transform into a working motherboard. Our JUKI pick-and-place machine is John's favorite here but he quickly found his way over to the calibration baths where we calibrate our probes like the FireBoard SPARK and see the equipment he helped certify. John stopping by means a lot to us, we appreciate and value working with other American manufacturers and local businesses all in all making FireBoard what it is today. Not only can you trust the accuracy of the data from our products, trace the NIST calibration certifications that our equipment undergoes but you can our doors are always open to anyone interested in seeing firsthand how small-business manufacturing happens day in and day out at FireBoard Labs. FireBoard visited John at his Calibration Lab earlier this summer and you can watch that video here youtu.be/QUXS0izLfDc

Timing, precision, and great barbecue all come together at a KCBS-sanctioned competition. Teams have just a 10-minute window to turn in their meat, and missing it means disqualification. Behind the scenes, judges gather to evaluate the entries and determine who has what it takes to become a champion. This is where the competition gets serious! #BBQ #KCBS #CompetitionBBQ

We connected with barbecue teams from across the country, including teams we knew were using FireBoard and plenty of new teams we discovered using FireBoard products during their cooks. We also got a behind-the-scenes look at some of the incredible private parties, including Pig of Palooza, where four teams battled it out in the whole hog competition. Today, Blind Fox BBQ and roughly 150 teams are competing in the Invitational while simultaneously preparing for tomorrow’s Open Championship, where approximately 350–400 teams will compete. Tonight includes the Invitational awards and the induction of fellow FireBoard user Mark Lambert into the Barbecue Hall of Fame.

Never a dull moment at FireBoard. Yesterday, our oven went down after the computer controlling it suddenly stopped booting. What followed was a trip back in time to 2003. We pulled out a 40GB Western Digital IDE hard drive running Windows XP, tracked down an old IDE-to-USB adapter, replaced the power supply, and started working on creating an image of the original drive. Why go through all that? Because the alternative is a complete controller upgrade costing around $13,000. The goal now is simple: get the system back up and running without replacing the entire setup. Sometimes keeping production moving means digging through 20 years of technology and figuring it out as you go. #FireBoard #AmericanManufacturing #BehindTheScenes #ManufacturingLife #ProblemSolving #KansasCity
