should we call a fire department? That might

13
00:00:24,745 --> 00:00:25,539
be a good idea.

14
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:26,625

remote thermometer

55
00:02:36,389 --> 00:02:37,529
I think for the last

56
00:02:37,988 --> 00:02:40,566
many years? I have always ended each

57
00:02:41,025 --> 00:02:43,982
interview segment with Ted saying, when is the

58
00:02:43,982 --> 00:02:45,580
wireless thermometer coming?

59
00:02:46,234 --> 00:02:48,709
Why aren't you making a wireless thermometer. There's

60
00:02:48,709 --> 00:02:50,247
more and more coming to market

61
00:02:50,625 --> 00:02:52,940

00:02:53,499 --> 00:02:54,776

00:02:55,748 --> 00:02:58,047
They have arrived into the wireless markets that

00:02:58,126 --> 00:02:59,474
We'll talk all about and get the ins

Ted Conrad in the previous segment to Wes,

76
00:03:25,154 --> 00:03:27,329
we will then turn around in West segment

77
00:03:27,387 --> 00:03:30,032
and talk about what Ted just talked about,

78
00:03:30,192 --> 00:03:31,568
we'll talk about the

79
00:03:32,263 --> 00:03:33,799
segment of wireless

80
00:03:34,255 --> 00:03:34,755
thermometer

81
00:03:35,291 --> 00:03:36,109
in the live

82
00:03:36,486 --> 00:03:37,840
industry where we might see it in the

83
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,366
next handful full years. Those some other things

84
00:03:39,366 --> 00:03:41,830
we're gonna be talking about as well. So

85
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:43,658
west right to close out the first hour.

86
00:03:43,817 --> 00:03:45,169
And then we will move to the second

87
00:03:45,169 --> 00:03:45,669
hour

88
00:03:45,979 --> 00:03:47,117
You might have seen

89
00:03:47,655 --> 00:03:48,373
a week,

90
00:03:48,931 --> 00:03:50,926
maybe a little more than a week ago

91
00:03:50,926 --> 00:03:52,841
or 20 23.

92
00:03:53,573 --> 00:03:54,073
Pod

93
00:03:55,163 --> 00:03:55,663
subject.

94
00:03:56,515 --> 00:03:57,651
1 Joe Martinez,

95
00:03:58,106 --> 00:03:59,799
smoking and Joe's, pit barbecue,

96
00:04:00,332 --> 00:04:00,832
posting

97
00:04:01,207 --> 00:04:04,504
that smoking and Joe's pit barbecue is now

98
00:04:05,275 --> 00:04:06,070
officially closed.

99
00:04:06,785 --> 00:04:07,897
What does that mean?

100
00:04:09,503 --> 00:04:10,800
I think I

101
00:04:11,496 --> 00:04:14,127
hear a boy crying Wolf or maybe he's

102
00:04:14,127 --> 00:04:16,359
not crying Wolf at all. Maybe he's really

103
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:16,757
closed.

104
00:04:17,728 --> 00:04:19,077
But as soon as I saw it, I

105
00:04:19,077 --> 00:04:21,481
started shooting out emails, and then I went

106
00:04:21,616 --> 00:04:22,116
completely

107
00:04:22,489 --> 00:04:25,662
off the radar with comm on anybody concerning.

108
00:04:26,153 --> 00:04:28,137
What happened with Smoking and Joe's pit barbecue,

109
00:04:28,295 --> 00:04:30,040
and we will learn all about it. If

110
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,658
it's for real for real. If it's semi

111
00:04:32,658 --> 00:04:35,135
for real, if you somehow felt pressured once

112
00:04:35,135 --> 00:04:36,750

113
00:04:37,365 --> 00:04:38,582

00:04:39,595 --> 00:04:40,095

115
00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:41,290

116
00:04:42,224 --> 00:04:44,412

190
00:07:37,706 --> 00:07:40,170
his show is Steve Rae. Eat this. That's

191
00:07:40,170 --> 00:07:41,227
the name of the podcast.

192
00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:44,330
I might be off on that. Some of

193
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,629
you might be helping

194
00:07:46,089 --> 00:07:48,990
that I share my thoughts on the attempted

195
00:07:49,529 --> 00:07:50,970
assassination of former president Trump.

196
00:07:51,864 --> 00:07:53,463
I do have a take on that, which

197
00:07:53,463 --> 00:07:55,780
is unrelated to the shooting actually. It's more

198
00:07:55,780 --> 00:07:58,258
of a commentary on where we are as

199
00:07:58,258 --> 00:08:00,196
a society of humans

200
00:08:02,346 --> 00:08:04,493
But instead, I'm going in a completely different

201
00:08:04,493 --> 00:08:06,879
direction tonight. I cover the topic that is

202
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:09,504
the biggest 1 on the show, which is

203
00:08:09,504 --> 00:08:11,830
of course. Of the show itself.

204
00:08:12,548 --> 00:08:14,643
I'm specifically talking about the latest

205
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:17,434
review that the show got on itunes

206
00:08:17,892 --> 00:08:19,668
at the end of last week

207
00:08:20,939 --> 00:08:23,415
from someone who didn't even leave their name,

208
00:08:25,013 --> 00:08:27,511
keyboard command those at large

209
00:08:28,144 --> 00:08:28,644
ranging

210
00:08:29,023 --> 00:08:33,018
through anonymity, the safety of anonymity. It reads

211
00:08:33,018 --> 00:08:34,317
the following way

212
00:08:34,696 --> 00:08:35,756
subject line

213
00:08:37,024 --> 00:08:37,524
ridiculous

214
00:08:38,929 --> 00:08:39,429
rating

215
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,072
1 star.

216
00:08:43,294 --> 00:08:44,088
And I quote,

217
00:08:45,454 --> 00:08:46,832
How can anyone

218
00:08:47,688 --> 00:08:50,800
listen to this? It is beyond me of

219
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,795
the sound effects, the yelling.

220
00:08:53,368 --> 00:08:55,673
The screaming. It's all ridiculous.

221
00:08:56,865 --> 00:08:58,001
Stick to the subject,

222
00:08:58,773 --> 00:09:01,735
this left via Apple podcast, in the United

223
00:09:01,975 --> 00:09:03,095
States of America.

224
00:09:03,495 --> 00:09:04,315
Thank you

225
00:09:04,855 --> 00:09:05,815
for the review.

226
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:11,728
Can I get a? Yeah. Hey, everybody. Can't

227
00:09:11,887 --> 00:09:13,977
I trouble you for a mall. Yeah.

228
00:09:14,590 --> 00:09:15,067
So good.

229
00:09:22,727 --> 00:09:24,880
I don't know even what to say. I'm

230
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,155
doing the shell live.

231
00:09:26,648 --> 00:09:27,148
February

232
00:09:27,842 --> 00:09:29,434
seventh of 2008.

233
00:09:30,469 --> 00:09:33,732
I'm, like 16 years in, 17 years in,

234
00:09:34,944 --> 00:09:36,461
18 years end. If you count the 2

235
00:09:36,461 --> 00:09:39,178
years of previous just podcast podcasts only before

236
00:09:39,178 --> 00:09:40,216
he started the live show.

237
00:09:41,588 --> 00:09:42,961
It's always had

238
00:09:43,413 --> 00:09:45,634
sound effects. I don't even know what you're

239
00:09:45,634 --> 00:09:47,856
talking about as far as the yelling is

240
00:09:47,856 --> 00:09:49,046
concerned. Nobody's yelling.

241
00:09:50,014 --> 00:09:51,872
Can we get a little bit passionate

242
00:09:52,251 --> 00:09:54,568
and heed about our particular opinions,

243
00:09:55,127 --> 00:09:58,893
especially in panel? Type situations like the embedded

244
00:09:58,893 --> 00:10:02,960
correspondence. Yeah. The screaming. Nobody's ever screaming.

245
00:10:03,996 --> 00:10:04,496
Never

246
00:10:06,403 --> 00:10:09,192
And I stick to the subject matter by

247
00:10:09,192 --> 00:10:09,989
and large.

248
00:10:10,945 --> 00:10:13,335
Do we deviate from time to time yes.

249
00:10:13,749 --> 00:10:14,886
Because if we only

250
00:10:15,343 --> 00:10:17,039
always talked about

251
00:10:17,496 --> 00:10:17,996
live,

252
00:10:18,532 --> 00:10:21,402
barbecue and grilling, the show would have won

253
00:10:21,402 --> 00:10:24,121
the way that every other barbecue and grilling

254
00:10:24,121 --> 00:10:26,583
show has gone, which is the way of

255
00:10:26,583 --> 00:10:27,321
the dinosaur.

256
00:10:27,695 --> 00:10:29,442
Gone forever and ever a amen.

257
00:10:30,395 --> 00:10:32,314
Every but we will continue to change it

258
00:10:32,314 --> 00:10:34,639
up, and much to your cha,

259
00:10:35,328 --> 00:10:36,304
Mister Macho,

260
00:10:36,756 --> 00:10:38,263
leaving me 1 star. Like,

261
00:10:38,913 --> 00:10:41,381
Just send me a personal email and tell

262
00:10:41,381 --> 00:10:43,132
me you think the show sucks like the

263
00:10:43,132 --> 00:10:45,360
other 25 people do every week.

264
00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:49,143
Don't leave me a 1 star rating

265
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,313
that hurts my visibility on itunes.

266
00:10:53,844 --> 00:10:55,997
It's like customer service. You hate the show

267
00:10:55,997 --> 00:10:57,672
email me privately first.

268
00:10:58,709 --> 00:11:01,182
And then if I can't convince you to

269
00:11:01,182 --> 00:11:02,777
not do that, You just go ahead. I

270
00:11:02,777 --> 00:11:03,988
mean you're gonna do it right?

271
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:07,648
You're not gonna give me the opportunity to

272
00:11:07,648 --> 00:11:10,513
explain myself. You're just jumping in willy nilly.

273
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:13,797
And then leaving me a subject line title

274
00:11:13,797 --> 00:11:16,350
of ridiculous and then the 1 star.

275
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:19,477
Now dare you.

276
00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:24,528
That might hurt my feeling.

277
00:11:28,993 --> 00:11:31,710
Say hello to the future of grilling.

278
00:11:32,589 --> 00:11:33,968
But the patented thermostat

279
00:11:34,347 --> 00:11:35,087
control technology

280
00:11:35,466 --> 00:11:37,473
brought to you by winter products on the

281
00:11:37,473 --> 00:11:40,255
members Mark Series Grill, the pro series.

282
00:11:41,606 --> 00:11:43,753
We have 2 modes first up is barbecue

283
00:11:43,753 --> 00:11:44,945
mode or grilling mode.

284
00:11:46,233 --> 00:11:50,538
Your traditional grilling experience with variable temperatures giving

285
00:11:50,538 --> 00:11:53,009
you control Beach Burner to adjust exactly how

286
00:11:53,009 --> 00:11:55,573
you wanted on your terms. Or enter the

287
00:11:55,573 --> 00:11:57,880
game changing and patented over

288
00:11:58,516 --> 00:12:00,664
oven mode or oven depending on where you

289
00:12:00,664 --> 00:12:00,823
live,

290
00:12:01,634 --> 00:12:02,934
simply set the thermostat

291
00:12:03,554 --> 00:12:05,875
control dial to your desired temperature,

292
00:12:06,514 --> 00:12:07,654
and your grill transforms

293
00:12:08,034 --> 00:12:08,914
into a precise oven.

294
00:12:09,970 --> 00:12:12,210
The choice like the black sheep would say

295
00:12:12,210 --> 00:12:12,769
is yours.

296
00:12:13,970 --> 00:12:16,690
Members mark k series with thermostat control now

297
00:12:16,690 --> 00:12:18,861
available at your local Sam's club store and

298
00:12:18,861 --> 00:12:21,014
only your local Sam's club store.

299
00:12:21,971 --> 00:12:23,407
So if you're not a member, become a

300
00:12:23,407 --> 00:12:26,119
member or steal your neighbor's membership card when

301
00:12:26,119 --> 00:12:27,970
they're not looking and go to say sam's

302
00:12:27,970 --> 00:12:30,049
club and check out the member's Mark Grill.

303
00:12:30,209 --> 00:12:31,809
I think you're gonna be very happy with

304
00:12:31,809 --> 00:12:33,730
what you see. The 4 burner does sell

305
00:12:33,730 --> 00:12:35,490
a little bit better than 5 burner. It's

306
00:12:35,490 --> 00:12:38,065
all price Point right, but for sub 700

307
00:12:38,065 --> 00:12:38,465
dollars.

308
00:12:39,345 --> 00:12:41,664
The 5 burner is the steel of the

309
00:12:41,664 --> 00:12:42,785
century right now.

310
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:46,547
When I was talking with James last week

311
00:12:46,547 --> 00:12:47,183
as you remember?

312
00:12:49,092 --> 00:12:51,160
I said I think this grill would be

313
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,931
8 1800 dollars or more if it had

314
00:12:52,931 --> 00:12:55,245
different brands badge on it. He said, I

315
00:12:55,245 --> 00:12:55,564
agree.

316
00:12:56,283 --> 00:12:56,761
It would.

317
00:12:58,358 --> 00:12:58,858
So

318
00:13:00,049 --> 00:13:00,929
I'm urging you.

319
00:13:01,809 --> 00:13:03,730
If you're a Sam's club member to go

320
00:13:03,730 --> 00:13:05,649
through the live section where all the Grill

321
00:13:05,649 --> 00:13:07,009
are sold to make sure you put an

322
00:13:07,009 --> 00:13:09,169
eyeball on the members Mark Pro series Grill,

323
00:13:11,407 --> 00:13:12,041
And again,

324
00:13:13,468 --> 00:13:15,133
I just used it last night to cook

325
00:13:15,133 --> 00:13:16,639
up 5 chicken breast.

326
00:13:17,607 --> 00:13:20,493
Perfect. Dials in the heat. I used regular

327
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:22,459
grill mode, but I do use oven mode,

328
00:13:22,618 --> 00:13:24,130
quite frequently action,

329
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:27,645
You pick you learn you choose only a

330
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:29,872

00:13:55,992 --> 00:13:58,776
Central show studios in Cleveland, Ohio.

335
00:13:59,413 --> 00:14:02,277
You're listening to the Barbecue Hughes Central show.

336
00:14:02,769 --> 00:14:04,763
Once again, here's your host.

337
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,018

00:14:47,791 --> 00:14:49,626
an excellent voice. Thank you, Diane.

357
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:55,259
So take that whoever you are in anonymity

358
00:14:55,399 --> 00:14:55,899
on

359
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,493
Apple podcast review leaving me 1 star. My

360
00:14:59,493 --> 00:15:01,164
first guest tonight, 1 of the cofounder founders

361
00:15:01,164 --> 00:15:03,073
of fire board, longtime supporter of this show,

362
00:15:03,232 --> 00:15:05,881
which I certainly appreciate. You are most likely

363
00:15:05,938 --> 00:15:08,817
familiar with their products, which now include the

364
00:15:08,817 --> 00:15:11,199
fire board 2, the fire board to drive,

365
00:15:11,437 --> 00:15:14,216
the fire board pro, the fire board spark

366
00:15:14,216 --> 00:15:16,043
and the fire board beacon.

367
00:15:16,693 --> 00:15:18,123
Just to name a few. Tonight, we're gonna

368
00:15:18,123 --> 00:15:20,744
talk about a new item just recently announced

369
00:15:20,744 --> 00:15:23,048
into media, and I am happy to have

370
00:15:23,048 --> 00:15:24,796
him on the show to dig into it.

371
00:15:26,875 --> 00:15:29,175
Ted Conrad of fire board. Hey Ted.

372
00:15:30,523 --> 00:15:32,585
Hey, Greg. How are you? Ted, before we

373
00:15:32,585 --> 00:15:35,376
get into new product to talk and nonsense,

374
00:15:35,534 --> 00:15:37,280
we have a Youtube poll question of the

375
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,264
week that we're asking everybody. And the question

376
00:15:39,264 --> 00:15:41,620
is this, Do you think the grid market

377
00:15:41,739 --> 00:15:44,449
will remain a hot 1 for consumers through

378
00:15:44,449 --> 00:15:46,920
the balance of 20 24 yes or no.

379
00:15:48,115 --> 00:15:49,550
I'm a skeptic I'll say no.

380
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,550
Oh, I'm sorry. That's the right 1.

381
00:15:52,581 --> 00:15:54,193
You're agreeing with 25

382
00:15:54,248 --> 00:15:56,629
percent of the voting public saying no 75

383
00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:56,788
percent.

384
00:15:57,438 --> 00:15:59,587
Saying that they believe it will continue to

385
00:15:59,587 --> 00:16:01,519
remain hot. Before we talk about

386
00:16:01,894 --> 00:16:03,566
the pulse, which is the name of the

387
00:16:03,566 --> 00:16:06,055
new item. Last time you were on, we

388
00:16:06,684 --> 00:16:08,274
I think the time even before that, we

389
00:16:08,274 --> 00:16:11,296
had mentioned the beacon, but then last time,

390
00:16:11,534 --> 00:16:14,000
we talked about the release of the beacon.

391
00:16:14,477 --> 00:16:16,147
How's it going for the beacon right now.

392
00:16:18,238 --> 00:16:21,274
The beacon great, this was the first year

393
00:16:21,274 --> 00:16:24,071
that we went to the restaurant show, which

394
00:16:24,071 --> 00:16:24,571
is

395
00:16:25,599 --> 00:16:27,185
May up in Chicago.

396
00:16:28,057 --> 00:16:29,722
And that was the first year that we've

397
00:16:29,722 --> 00:16:31,331
actually had the beacon available

398
00:16:31,783 --> 00:16:32,521
for people

399
00:16:33,226 --> 00:16:36,326
to essentially buy it right there. And and

400
00:16:36,326 --> 00:16:37,916
we don't really sell units at the show

401
00:16:37,916 --> 00:16:39,744
per s. But if if they're interested in

402
00:16:39,744 --> 00:16:41,413
it, they could essentially buy it, we were

403
00:16:41,413 --> 00:16:41,913
gonna

404
00:16:42,302 --> 00:16:44,848
we essentially took orders at the show. And

405
00:16:44,848 --> 00:16:47,712
we've we've had some really good discussions that

406
00:16:47,712 --> 00:16:48,960
have come from that

407
00:16:49,317 --> 00:16:50,988
and continue to come from that show.

408
00:16:51,624 --> 00:16:53,852
What, you know, the the beacon is something

409
00:16:53,852 --> 00:16:54,988
that it's just

410
00:16:55,681 --> 00:16:58,007
this eventually peel you just... You you throw

411
00:16:58,007 --> 00:16:59,840
it in a walk in fridge or freezer

412
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,354
and it just works. So it's a simple,

413
00:17:01,833 --> 00:17:02,652
super simple

414
00:17:03,028 --> 00:17:03,188
installation.

415
00:17:04,477 --> 00:17:06,248
I have asked you about

416
00:17:07,258 --> 00:17:07,758
wireless

417
00:17:08,132 --> 00:17:11,231
thermometers coming from fire board for what seems

418
00:17:11,231 --> 00:17:13,471
like 5 years, maybe it's longer than maybe

419
00:17:13,471 --> 00:17:16,809
it's shorter than that. You had remained steadfast

420
00:17:16,809 --> 00:17:19,454
in the... It's not us yet

421
00:17:19,907 --> 00:17:21,440
type of refrain. So

422
00:17:21,909 --> 00:17:23,501
With others coming to market,

423
00:17:24,138 --> 00:17:25,650
especially combustion inc. Now,

424
00:17:26,446 --> 00:17:28,697
and then thermal works is launching

425
00:17:29,391 --> 00:17:30,744
end of the month or so,

426
00:17:31,793 --> 00:17:33,702
Did you feel in a way that your

427
00:17:33,702 --> 00:17:36,644
hand was forced now to bring something to

428
00:17:36,644 --> 00:17:38,473
market? Or were you ready to go at

429
00:17:38,473 --> 00:17:38,950
this stage?

430
00:17:40,238 --> 00:17:43,108
Well, the the 2 things that made a

431
00:17:43,108 --> 00:17:44,941
big difference. That just to be honest with

432
00:17:45,021 --> 00:17:47,333
Greg. I mean, like, any proxy it's taken

433
00:17:47,333 --> 00:17:47,891
some time.

434
00:17:48,623 --> 00:17:49,123
So

435
00:17:49,659 --> 00:17:50,477
we've been

436
00:17:50,854 --> 00:17:53,960
developing this designing this researching this for for

437
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,837
almost 2 years.

438
00:17:55,730 --> 00:17:57,730
And so we been planning this for a

439
00:17:57,730 --> 00:17:59,430
while. I... Obviously, it's been

440
00:18:00,130 --> 00:18:02,289
more or less confidential. You know, we've been

441
00:18:02,289 --> 00:18:04,210
doing all this work. Trying to get it

442
00:18:04,210 --> 00:18:06,212
ready. But the thing the thing that we

443
00:18:06,212 --> 00:18:07,243
can became apparent,

444
00:18:07,958 --> 00:18:08,458
it

445
00:18:08,830 --> 00:18:10,441
we've had so much

446
00:18:10,814 --> 00:18:13,053
reverse inquiry. Is is sort of the term

447
00:18:13,053 --> 00:18:14,904
that I use, but we've had our customers

448
00:18:14,961 --> 00:18:16,018
that have come back

449
00:18:16,472 --> 00:18:18,618
and ask us, we we did a little

450
00:18:18,618 --> 00:18:19,596
video montage

451
00:18:20,464 --> 00:18:21,765
as our product announcement,

452
00:18:22,865 --> 00:18:24,304
and it's kind of... It's... He... You know,

453
00:18:24,464 --> 00:18:26,065
Alec and our team did a great job

454
00:18:26,065 --> 00:18:26,304
with it.

455
00:18:27,265 --> 00:18:29,184
But it pops up all the little comments

456
00:18:29,184 --> 00:18:31,511
and the the questions and the emails that

457
00:18:31,511 --> 00:18:33,422
we've had, customers are like, hey, what about

458
00:18:33,422 --> 00:18:34,775
a wireless probe? How about now?

459
00:18:35,491 --> 00:18:37,322
When's a wireless probe coming? You guys have

460
00:18:37,322 --> 00:18:37,641
to do this?

461
00:18:38,454 --> 00:18:41,570
And so really, people were urging. And that

462
00:18:41,570 --> 00:18:43,728
was the first thing that I think kind

463
00:18:43,728 --> 00:18:46,066
have opened our eyes, like, you know, what

464
00:18:46,206 --> 00:18:49,173
customers want this. It makes if the product

465
00:18:49,173 --> 00:18:49,731
works well.

466
00:18:50,767 --> 00:18:53,340
I think the second thing that really transformed

467
00:18:53,637 --> 00:18:55,811
or, I guess, I'm convinced of this was

468
00:18:56,123 --> 00:18:58,191
when we did the low of frequency... We

469
00:18:58,191 --> 00:18:59,941
call it g which word for 1 gigahertz.

470
00:19:00,180 --> 00:19:02,827
Did that for the beacon. And as as

471
00:19:03,059 --> 00:19:04,338
people you're the beacon of the sub 1

472
00:19:04,338 --> 00:19:06,416
gigahertz is just to get you that extended

473
00:19:06,416 --> 00:19:06,656
range.

474
00:19:07,375 --> 00:19:08,973
And when we did that for the beacon,

475
00:19:09,693 --> 00:19:10,891
I think the light kinda went off and

476
00:19:10,891 --> 00:19:12,785
we're like, you could solve the range as

477
00:19:12,904 --> 00:19:13,404
shoes

478
00:19:14,097 --> 00:19:16,722
that bluetooth has with these probes because you

479
00:19:16,722 --> 00:19:18,495
put a probe inside of a metal

480
00:19:19,188 --> 00:19:21,908
case It doesn't transmit very well. Right? It

481
00:19:21,908 --> 00:19:24,295
doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that

482
00:19:24,295 --> 00:19:27,022
out. Yep. And so you wanna figure out

483
00:19:27,332 --> 00:19:29,078
you saw. That was that was kinda of

484
00:19:29,078 --> 00:19:31,142
the eye opening thing, which was if we

485
00:19:31,142 --> 00:19:33,919
use a lower frequency then this is... This

486
00:19:33,919 --> 00:19:34,713
could be a robot.

487
00:19:35,838 --> 00:19:38,934
Nothing like having the dramatic product announcement and

488
00:19:38,934 --> 00:19:39,410
then this.

489
00:19:43,712 --> 00:19:44,530
Fire board

490
00:19:45,064 --> 00:19:46,814
Pulse is the name of product.

491
00:19:47,530 --> 00:19:48,723
If you wanna check it out while we're

492
00:19:48,723 --> 00:19:50,632
talking it's fire board dot com, and then

493
00:19:50,711 --> 00:19:52,479
I believe it's just slash pulse or if

494
00:19:52,479 --> 00:19:53,677
you just go to fire board dot com.

495
00:19:53,837 --> 00:19:54,316
It's right there,

496
00:19:55,674 --> 00:19:57,592
the lead, you don't even have to scroll

497
00:19:57,592 --> 00:20:00,001
to find it. Obviously, it's the brand new

498
00:20:00,001 --> 00:20:02,385
product that they're gonna be launching here shortly.

499
00:20:02,623 --> 00:20:05,326
So the fire board pulse is the name

500
00:20:05,326 --> 00:20:07,408
of it, fire board dot com, the Let

501
00:20:07,408 --> 00:20:09,562
me back you up to sub 1GI

502
00:20:09,562 --> 00:20:11,077
don't wanna nerd out to the people that

503
00:20:11,157 --> 00:20:12,673
I can use the lingo and know what

504
00:20:12,752 --> 00:20:14,986
I'm talking about, but you were talking about

505
00:20:14,986 --> 00:20:17,711
how you learned something from sub g that

506
00:20:17,711 --> 00:20:18,825
you would be able to put into the

507
00:20:18,825 --> 00:20:19,064
pulse.

508
00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:22,167
Yeah. Yeah. And and sorry for that that

509
00:20:22,167 --> 00:20:24,338
drop out there. But but, yeah, tried to

510
00:20:24,968 --> 00:20:26,881
go through this real quick. That I I

511
00:20:26,881 --> 00:20:28,635
just mentioned the first thing was all the

512
00:20:28,635 --> 00:20:30,707
the customers. Yeah, that that asked us to

513
00:20:30,707 --> 00:20:32,461
build this product. And then the second thing

514
00:20:32,461 --> 00:20:32,835
was

515
00:20:33,673 --> 00:20:34,391
S1G,

516
00:20:34,550 --> 00:20:36,546
you know, the sub 1 gigahertz,

517
00:20:37,344 --> 00:20:39,020
which is just this lower frequency,

518
00:20:39,898 --> 00:20:41,116
and the lower frequency

519
00:20:41,986 --> 00:20:44,769
gives you that longer range. And so I

520
00:20:44,769 --> 00:20:45,586
think the problem

521
00:20:46,518 --> 00:20:47,335
with putting

522
00:20:47,948 --> 00:20:50,356
this device inside of a metal

523
00:20:52,333 --> 00:20:53,921
box, if you will, if you call a

524
00:20:53,921 --> 00:20:55,746
cooker or grill or smoker or a metal

525
00:20:55,746 --> 00:20:58,500
box, you know, it's really hard to get

526
00:20:58,778 --> 00:21:01,005
much of a wireless signal outside of that.

527
00:21:01,642 --> 00:21:02,142
And

528
00:21:03,232 --> 00:21:05,301
so the light bulb really went off when

529
00:21:05,301 --> 00:21:06,213
we started

530
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:08,435
looking at this S1G technology,

531
00:21:09,205 --> 00:21:11,030
we were, like, good grief. If we can

532
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:12,641
if we can jam that technology

533
00:21:13,252 --> 00:21:13,752
into

534
00:21:14,379 --> 00:21:15,416
a wireless probe.

535
00:21:16,213 --> 00:21:18,447
We might actually have something that's that's pretty

536
00:21:18,447 --> 00:21:21,318
cool here. So that's that's been... Gosh. That's

537
00:21:21,318 --> 00:21:22,536
been something we've been

538
00:21:23,232 --> 00:21:24,840
struggling with me to a little bit of

539
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,031
a engineering problem.

540
00:21:27,303 --> 00:21:29,130
So it's been a couple years in the

541
00:21:29,130 --> 00:21:29,368
works.

542
00:21:30,401 --> 00:21:31,139
I remember

543
00:21:31,529 --> 00:21:33,127
all the times I was asking you about

544
00:21:33,127 --> 00:21:34,965
a wireless probe. 1 of the things that

545
00:21:34,965 --> 00:21:37,601
you would constantly say is it's getting that

546
00:21:37,601 --> 00:21:38,101
technology

547
00:21:39,293 --> 00:21:42,176
all into 1 thing and then worrying about

548
00:21:42,392 --> 00:21:44,298
what kind of a gauge that you were

549
00:21:44,298 --> 00:21:45,887
gonna need to get all that stuff in,

550
00:21:46,459 --> 00:21:49,089
not to mention the cost of potential replacement

551
00:21:49,089 --> 00:21:51,321
if something were to burn up or go

552
00:21:51,321 --> 00:21:51,821
haywire

553
00:21:52,198 --> 00:21:53,792
inside of there. So how were you able

554
00:21:53,792 --> 00:21:54,292
to

555
00:21:54,843 --> 00:21:56,753
package it in a way that you feel

556
00:21:56,753 --> 00:21:57,253
is

557
00:21:57,708 --> 00:22:00,813
both accommodating to the technology, but also isn't

558
00:22:00,813 --> 00:22:02,723
leaving a 12 gauge bullet hole in the

559
00:22:02,723 --> 00:22:03,917
meat like some of the other stuff.

560
00:22:06,952 --> 00:22:09,257
Well, the first thing I say is it

561
00:22:09,257 --> 00:22:11,005
it's really hats off to the fire board

562
00:22:11,005 --> 00:22:13,015
team. I mean, the the team

563
00:22:13,644 --> 00:22:15,799
led by a Paul Sk. He's our our

564
00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:18,534
head of design, head of product design. And

565
00:22:18,912 --> 00:22:21,966
he he has done an amazing job with

566
00:22:22,598 --> 00:22:26,342
the the design elements of of, any design

567
00:22:26,342 --> 00:22:29,050
elements and also the mechanical elements to go

568
00:22:29,050 --> 00:22:29,846
into this product.

569
00:22:30,643 --> 00:22:31,143
And

570
00:22:31,693 --> 00:22:33,125
you know, for those of you who are

571
00:22:33,125 --> 00:22:35,591
listening, you can't see when I'm holding up,

572
00:22:35,751 --> 00:22:37,660
but I'll be, you know, finding actually holding

573
00:22:37,660 --> 00:22:38,399
up this

574
00:22:38,949 --> 00:22:40,384
the pulse probe,

575
00:22:40,942 --> 00:22:42,935
and it's it's a chi tip and, like,

576
00:22:43,174 --> 00:22:45,588
I guess, Chi tip, it's basically a hexagon

577
00:22:45,965 --> 00:22:46,682
type of shape.

578
00:22:48,210 --> 00:22:51,313
And it's it's more flat than I guess

579
00:22:51,313 --> 00:22:52,768
it is a perfect Hexagon.

580
00:22:53,939 --> 00:22:55,871
And it it sort of has

581
00:22:56,897 --> 00:22:58,249
again, for lack of a better word. It's...

582
00:22:58,408 --> 00:22:59,600
It kinda looks like a chi.

583
00:23:00,157 --> 00:23:01,929
Which... So it gives you a really nice

584
00:23:02,065 --> 00:23:04,865
tip on the end, but what what the

585
00:23:04,865 --> 00:23:07,025
the trick with that is it sort of

586
00:23:07,025 --> 00:23:09,025
ends up making it thinner,

587
00:23:10,225 --> 00:23:11,505
but then you have a little bit of

588
00:23:11,505 --> 00:23:12,644
that width that

589
00:23:13,025 --> 00:23:14,005
that can accommodate

590
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:16,392
you know, the the the printed circuit board

591
00:23:16,392 --> 00:23:18,465
that that gets slid down inside this tube.

592
00:23:19,263 --> 00:23:21,655
So it's a cool design element, but it's

593
00:23:21,655 --> 00:23:23,224
also functional on that

594
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,418
that's how we are able to to fit

595
00:23:25,418 --> 00:23:28,050
some electronics inside that tube. Give us the

596
00:23:28,050 --> 00:23:30,443
high level on the pulse. What do we

597
00:23:30,443 --> 00:23:32,059
what do we like about it? How is

598
00:23:32,118 --> 00:23:32,995
how is it set apart?

599
00:23:34,919 --> 00:23:37,145
Yeah. I... The the number 1 thing that

600
00:23:37,145 --> 00:23:39,451
sets it apart is it's... To our knowledge,

601
00:23:39,689 --> 00:23:41,064
it's the world's first

602
00:23:41,518 --> 00:23:42,154
dual band,

603
00:23:43,285 --> 00:23:44,085
wireless probe.

604
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:48,404
So when I just mentioned before this S1G

605
00:23:48,404 --> 00:23:50,725
technology, which is the sub 1 gigahertz, it's

606
00:23:50,725 --> 00:23:54,239
essentially nice between 902 megahertz and 928

607
00:23:54,239 --> 00:23:56,144
megahertz that for those radio geek,

608
00:23:57,652 --> 00:23:59,558
it's... I think it's called the Ism band.

609
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,696
Anyway, I may not have that right. But

610
00:24:03,468 --> 00:24:05,002
anyway, so it's the low frequency

611
00:24:05,855 --> 00:24:06,968
combined with Bluetooth.

612
00:24:07,779 --> 00:24:10,810
So you have... And Bluetooth is 2.4 gigahertz.

613
00:24:12,007 --> 00:24:12,507
So

614
00:24:13,442 --> 00:24:14,181
the Bluetooth

615
00:24:14,718 --> 00:24:17,053
is cool because you still can use

616
00:24:17,923 --> 00:24:18,797
in short range,

617
00:24:19,751 --> 00:24:20,570
you can use

618
00:24:20,944 --> 00:24:22,534
all the existing fire products.

619
00:24:23,568 --> 00:24:24,999
I should say it, you know, the fire

620
00:24:24,999 --> 00:24:26,589
board 2 and the Spark, the original fire

621
00:24:26,589 --> 00:24:28,984
board right now not supporting the wireless probe

622
00:24:28,984 --> 00:24:32,075
yet. It's possibility down the road. But right

623
00:24:32,075 --> 00:24:33,977
now, it's a fire 2 and a spark

624
00:24:33,977 --> 00:24:34,477
and

625
00:24:35,184 --> 00:24:36,085
all the y

626
00:24:36,784 --> 00:24:39,184
controllers, the of the odor pellet smokers that

627
00:24:39,184 --> 00:24:40,085
have our technology

628
00:24:40,384 --> 00:24:40,625
integrated.

629
00:24:41,345 --> 00:24:43,105
It's it's just an over the air update.

630
00:24:43,505 --> 00:24:44,119
And those

631
00:24:44,798 --> 00:24:46,496
work. So you get the

632
00:24:46,874 --> 00:24:48,651
the simplicity and the flexibility

633
00:24:49,827 --> 00:24:52,621
and the connectivity with Bluetooth, because those devices

634
00:24:52,621 --> 00:24:53,281
are all

635
00:24:53,913 --> 00:24:55,827
short range. Right? I mean, you you have

636
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:57,343
the fire board sitting right next to your

637
00:24:57,343 --> 00:24:57,843
cooker

638
00:24:58,220 --> 00:24:59,815
that works. And that's sort of like, what

639
00:24:59,815 --> 00:25:01,432
everybody else is done with Bluetooth

640
00:25:01,809 --> 00:25:03,006
with a bluetooth 3 Peter,

641
00:25:03,738 --> 00:25:05,491
but then you have combined with that, you

642
00:25:05,491 --> 00:25:06,867
have this long ability

643
00:25:07,483 --> 00:25:08,439
with the S1G.

644
00:25:08,837 --> 00:25:10,692
So you have the best of both worlds

645
00:25:11,644 --> 00:25:12,623
I think the

646
00:25:13,082 --> 00:25:14,121
the design element,

647
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,439
you know, you can kind, in a way,

648
00:25:16,598 --> 00:25:19,875
there's a ceramic end to this metal tube.

649
00:25:20,608 --> 00:25:22,204
And it's a little circle. So it's sort

650
00:25:22,204 --> 00:25:23,980
of reminds you of the fire board logo

651
00:25:24,118 --> 00:25:25,314
in a way. So it's kind of a

652
00:25:25,314 --> 00:25:26,750
cool another cool design element.

653
00:25:27,627 --> 00:25:30,041
But there's actually an embedded ambient

654
00:25:31,075 --> 00:25:33,875
external sensor. So there's there's actually temperature that

655
00:25:33,875 --> 00:25:34,694
you'll get

656
00:25:35,315 --> 00:25:36,295
outside the meat

657
00:25:37,234 --> 00:25:39,487
with this sensor, and then you have the

658
00:25:39,487 --> 00:25:41,000
internal, the meat temperature, of course,

659
00:25:41,637 --> 00:25:43,627
and that's further down in this tube, which

660
00:25:43,627 --> 00:25:45,776
would be buried inside the meat. So I

661
00:25:45,776 --> 00:25:46,674
think you have

662
00:25:47,223 --> 00:25:49,292
everything that you need in a nice little

663
00:25:49,292 --> 00:25:49,610
package.

664
00:25:50,803 --> 00:25:52,019
It snaps onto

665
00:25:52,712 --> 00:25:53,348
a charger,

666
00:25:54,397 --> 00:25:56,618
The charger itself is rechargeable.

667
00:25:58,047 --> 00:26:00,744
So the the charger you would charge Usb

668
00:26:00,744 --> 00:26:00,903
c.

669
00:26:01,870 --> 00:26:02,688
You can have

670
00:26:03,219 --> 00:26:03,719
multiple

671
00:26:04,568 --> 00:26:06,790
probes kinda stacked on top of each other,

672
00:26:06,949 --> 00:26:08,139
so there's these cool magnets.

673
00:26:08,947 --> 00:26:10,614
And they stack on top of each other.

674
00:26:11,725 --> 00:26:13,948
There's some cool little things we've we've jammed

675
00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:15,217
in here, You know, like you can plug

676
00:26:15,217 --> 00:26:15,455
in.

677
00:26:16,504 --> 00:26:19,775
1 Usb c to to recharge these these

678
00:26:19,775 --> 00:26:21,770
chargers And then because they're stacked, all the

679
00:26:21,770 --> 00:26:23,366
power flows through that stack.

680
00:26:24,098 --> 00:26:25,448
You can charge, like, 10 of these things

681
00:26:25,448 --> 00:26:27,036
are all just stacked up together, which is

682
00:26:27,036 --> 00:26:27,432
kinda fun.

683
00:26:29,497 --> 00:26:31,720
In the magnets, you know, it's 600 refrigerator

684
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,878
and all that stuff. So it's it's really

685
00:26:33,878 --> 00:26:36,498
a cool design. You know, I I... Besides

686
00:26:36,498 --> 00:26:37,951
it's for the product functioning

687
00:26:38,403 --> 00:26:40,388
really, really well. You, the design is just...

688
00:26:40,547 --> 00:26:41,420
It's it's beautiful.

689
00:26:42,309 --> 00:26:44,789
Let's talk about what customers really wanna know

690
00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:46,389
that are interested in wireless stuff.

691
00:26:47,429 --> 00:26:48,649
Connection efficiency

692
00:26:48,950 --> 00:26:49,990
when the hood is down.

693
00:26:52,724 --> 00:26:52,964
Well,

694
00:26:53,525 --> 00:26:55,365
like I mentioned, that's where that... That's where

695
00:26:55,365 --> 00:26:56,664
this fire board pulse

696
00:26:57,684 --> 00:26:58,325
really shines.

697
00:26:59,138 --> 00:26:59,638
So

698
00:27:00,895 --> 00:27:01,954
if you buy

699
00:27:02,491 --> 00:27:04,168
what we call an S1G

700
00:27:04,168 --> 00:27:04,407
antenna,

701
00:27:05,046 --> 00:27:07,601
and the S1G antenna will plug into Fire

702
00:27:07,601 --> 00:27:09,603
2, So those people that already own a

703
00:27:09,682 --> 00:27:12,379
Fire 2, any the Fire 2 series, which

704
00:27:12,379 --> 00:27:14,283
is the regular fire 2, the drive or

705
00:27:14,283 --> 00:27:14,680
the pro.

706
00:27:15,489 --> 00:27:17,164
They buy an attendant. We saw it really

707
00:27:17,164 --> 00:27:19,158
cheap. We almost kinda give it away, but

708
00:27:19,158 --> 00:27:21,551
it's 20 bucks. The antenna plugs into the

709
00:27:21,551 --> 00:27:24,683
fire too. Now the fire 2 can receive

710
00:27:25,394 --> 00:27:26,986
those 900 megahertz signals.

711
00:27:27,622 --> 00:27:29,214
And then you can have your fire 2

712
00:27:29,214 --> 00:27:30,749
in your house anywhere

713
00:27:31,203 --> 00:27:31,761
and you've got...

714
00:27:32,556 --> 00:27:34,839
Essentially, a line of sight at 1800 feet

715
00:27:34,959 --> 00:27:37,028
which is what we've... What we've tested. You

716
00:27:37,028 --> 00:27:38,460
know, if you're in... With you're... If you've

717
00:27:38,460 --> 00:27:39,415
got the door closed,

718
00:27:40,052 --> 00:27:42,041
I'm gonna d rate that quite a bit.

719
00:27:42,454 --> 00:27:44,442
And it's gonna depend on the situation. Right?

720
00:27:44,601 --> 00:27:45,953
It depends what kind of cooker you have,

721
00:27:46,271 --> 00:27:47,884
depends on if you're going through more

722
00:27:48,338 --> 00:27:50,167
brick walls or, you know, different types of

723
00:27:50,167 --> 00:27:51,622
walls, but you're gonna have

724
00:27:53,049 --> 00:27:54,907
hundred feet... Hundreds of feet

725
00:27:55,605 --> 00:27:57,224
to still have that range

726
00:27:57,842 --> 00:27:59,815
through that low frequency. So that

727
00:28:00,810 --> 00:28:01,687
that really works well.

728
00:28:02,643 --> 00:28:04,873
And then the Bluetooth is, again, a great

729
00:28:04,873 --> 00:28:06,307
solution. If you're using the drive. If you

730
00:28:06,307 --> 00:28:08,220
already have your fire sitting right there and

731
00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:10,148
next to your grill. Yep. And it just

732
00:28:10,148 --> 00:28:11,824
works. You just pair it like, any other

733
00:28:11,824 --> 00:28:14,217
fire device and off the races.

734
00:28:15,814 --> 00:28:16,792
So I'm gonna

735
00:28:17,982 --> 00:28:20,295
give you an example, I'm gonna... Let's say

736
00:28:20,295 --> 00:28:22,128
use this weekend. I'm gonna do a pork

737
00:28:22,128 --> 00:28:24,999
butt cook. I'm gonna use fire board drive

738
00:28:24,999 --> 00:28:25,796
on the p.

739
00:28:26,369 --> 00:28:28,365
And I put the thermometer in.

740
00:28:29,801 --> 00:28:32,914
And then it's because it's close. It's talking

741
00:28:32,914 --> 00:28:34,771
to each other, and then I'm

742
00:28:35,323 --> 00:28:36,997
at the grocery store,

743
00:28:38,273 --> 00:28:40,426
10 miles away. So long as I have

744
00:28:40,426 --> 00:28:43,318
cloud connectivity, I can still see my temperature

745
00:28:43,376 --> 00:28:45,298
and you know, all that stuff, or or

746
00:28:45,298 --> 00:28:46,751
maybe I'm doing a a roti

747
00:28:47,442 --> 00:28:49,110
chicken in the p, of course, you know,

748
00:28:49,189 --> 00:28:50,698
you wanna do that with wireless because you

749
00:28:50,698 --> 00:28:51,413
can't do with wired.

750
00:28:52,381 --> 00:28:54,444
All all that's fine. No problem.

751
00:28:55,714 --> 00:28:57,699
Yep. Yeah. In that scenario,

752
00:28:58,413 --> 00:29:00,159
and I I do think it's worth mentioning

753
00:29:00,159 --> 00:29:00,318
here.

754
00:29:01,287 --> 00:29:02,480
It... The scenario,

755
00:29:03,036 --> 00:29:06,002
I guess the scenarios is plural, there's there's

756
00:29:06,218 --> 00:29:08,922
many different scenarios of how this thing connects.

757
00:29:09,494 --> 00:29:11,324
You know, you can connect the low frequency

758
00:29:11,324 --> 00:29:13,234
like I mentioned, you can connect Bluetooth.

759
00:29:13,871 --> 00:29:17,306
You could connect to your actually direct to

760
00:29:17,306 --> 00:29:19,051
somebody's cell phone, see if the fire board

761
00:29:19,051 --> 00:29:21,669
app on your mobile phone. It'll connect directly

762
00:29:21,669 --> 00:29:22,938
to that. You even have to have a

763
00:29:22,938 --> 00:29:25,184
fire board at all. Of course, that's sort

764
00:29:25,184 --> 00:29:27,204
of the worst experience because

765
00:29:27,744 --> 00:29:29,585
if you're inside the house with your phone,

766
00:29:30,065 --> 00:29:32,144
you know, range is pretty limited over Bluetooth

767
00:29:32,144 --> 00:29:34,315
to get side. But to short answer to

768
00:29:34,315 --> 00:29:36,470
your question, Greg, and in that scenario,

769
00:29:37,189 --> 00:29:39,104
your fire board is sitting right next to

770
00:29:39,104 --> 00:29:40,780
the the cam auto cooker,

771
00:29:41,672 --> 00:29:44,381
and you're probably running the drive. Your fire

772
00:29:44,381 --> 00:29:45,576
board connects Bluetooth,

773
00:29:46,373 --> 00:29:49,818
tooth pulse. The pulse is those are 1

774
00:29:49,818 --> 00:29:51,096
or many of those. And by the way,

775
00:29:51,256 --> 00:29:52,374
they're gonna be color coded.

776
00:29:52,934 --> 00:29:55,031
They're gonna be this... There's a little circular

777
00:29:55,091 --> 00:29:55,591
ring

778
00:29:56,144 --> 00:29:57,838
So you can have multiple

779
00:29:58,611 --> 00:30:00,442
pulse probes and they're color coded, which will

780
00:30:00,442 --> 00:30:02,033
all show up through the the fire board

781
00:30:02,033 --> 00:30:02,909
app, which is kinda fun.

782
00:30:04,038 --> 00:30:05,732
So those will connect Bluetooth

783
00:30:06,586 --> 00:30:08,258
to the fire board, and the fire board

784
00:30:08,258 --> 00:30:09,054
is connected Wifi,

785
00:30:10,566 --> 00:30:11,840
you know, and that goes to the cloud.

786
00:30:12,494 --> 00:30:14,734
So it's all relay. The fire board essentially

787
00:30:14,734 --> 00:30:16,275
acts as a relay

788
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:18,815
or a repeater, I guess, it's a better

789
00:30:18,815 --> 00:30:18,974
word.

790
00:30:19,946 --> 00:30:22,412
Repeater. So the fire board is that central

791
00:30:22,412 --> 00:30:24,242
hub where all the information goes up to

792
00:30:24,242 --> 00:30:24,639
the cloud.

793
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:29,604
Somebody's asking, how does the pulse work

794
00:30:30,771 --> 00:30:33,629
with more than 3 probes if you have

795
00:30:33,629 --> 00:30:36,427
a fire board 2 pro? The fire board

796
00:30:36,427 --> 00:30:38,421
to only supports 3 ports.

797
00:30:40,335 --> 00:30:41,553
Yeah. So they're asking

798
00:30:42,169 --> 00:30:44,881
the the Fire Pro is the thermo couple

799
00:30:44,881 --> 00:30:46,650
based fire board that we sell. Yeah. Right.

800
00:30:46,809 --> 00:30:48,006
And it has those yellow,

801
00:30:48,484 --> 00:30:50,717
connect kate type k, thermo a couple connectors.

802
00:30:50,877 --> 00:30:53,987
Yep. So there's 3 of those physical connectors.

803
00:30:54,878 --> 00:30:57,498
And you can still use those 3 thermo

804
00:30:57,498 --> 00:30:59,482
couples if you want, But then you can

805
00:30:59,482 --> 00:31:01,546
add... And and right now, we have it

806
00:31:01,546 --> 00:31:03,292
hard coded, the limits at 32.

807
00:31:03,943 --> 00:31:05,771
So you could theoretically, you could have 32

808
00:31:05,771 --> 00:31:07,599
of these pulse probes. I'm, you know, I'm

809
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:10,381
not sure who needs 32, but who doesn't?

810
00:31:11,746 --> 00:31:13,436
Yeah. Why not? So

811
00:31:13,809 --> 00:31:15,555
you could you could add 32. I think

812
00:31:15,555 --> 00:31:17,459
we basically set it at 32 just because

813
00:31:17,459 --> 00:31:18,356
there's some memory

814
00:31:19,383 --> 00:31:21,618
issues just to way things are designed. Theoretically,

815
00:31:21,698 --> 00:31:22,656
it could be more than that.

816
00:31:23,694 --> 00:31:25,450
But anyway, yeah. You could you could add

817
00:31:25,450 --> 00:31:27,047
on with the fire too. You can add

818
00:31:27,047 --> 00:31:27,845
on essentially,

819
00:31:28,499 --> 00:31:30,497
as many probes as you want. So the

820
00:31:30,497 --> 00:31:32,575
the wireless probe... There's... There's the only limit

821
00:31:32,575 --> 00:31:33,853
is 32 like I mentioned.

822
00:31:35,851 --> 00:31:36,591
Let me

823
00:31:37,940 --> 00:31:40,406
reg what I understand. You tell me what's

824
00:31:40,406 --> 00:31:42,634
right. What's wrong. West hang out for a

825
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:44,543
little bit because we ran some tech issues

826
00:31:44,543 --> 00:31:45,259
up running in ted's.

827
00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:47,901
Ted segment here. I'm just talking to another

828
00:31:47,901 --> 00:31:48,060
guess.

829
00:31:49,892 --> 00:31:50,392
Normally,

830
00:31:51,883 --> 00:31:53,317
I guess what I wasn't able to get

831
00:31:53,317 --> 00:31:54,964
over my mental hurdle was

832
00:31:55,324 --> 00:31:57,342
I always have my fire board 2

833
00:31:57,961 --> 00:32:00,598
outside because I'm using wireless pro... Or I'm

834
00:32:00,598 --> 00:32:02,675
using wired probes because that's how it's always

835
00:32:02,675 --> 00:32:02,835
been.

836
00:32:03,727 --> 00:32:05,718
Whether I'm using the drive or not.

837
00:32:06,832 --> 00:32:08,766
Now I can use the wireless

838
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:10,756
probe and

839
00:32:12,101 --> 00:32:14,405
the base unit doesn't have to live out

840
00:32:14,405 --> 00:32:17,265
there, like, I'm just thinking right off the

841
00:32:17,265 --> 00:32:18,536
top of my head, like, it has to

842
00:32:18,536 --> 00:32:19,648
live out there with a wired.

843
00:32:20,619 --> 00:32:22,377
Connection, which is where now you would get

844
00:32:22,377 --> 00:32:25,013
the bluetooth or you would get the S1G

845
00:32:25,013 --> 00:32:25,253
antenna.

846
00:32:25,972 --> 00:32:28,062
Because now you're taking the base station with

847
00:32:28,062 --> 00:32:30,050
you if you want to monitor temperature,

848
00:32:30,607 --> 00:32:32,038
or you could just leave it there,

849
00:32:32,754 --> 00:32:33,254
and

850
00:32:34,185 --> 00:32:37,048
I don't most people monitor their fire on

851
00:32:37,048 --> 00:32:37,446
their phone.

852
00:32:39,295 --> 00:32:41,450
Yeah. Yeah. So either way, I think it

853
00:32:41,450 --> 00:32:42,647
gives you options. Yeah.

854
00:32:43,684 --> 00:32:45,041
The other the other thing...

855
00:32:45,694 --> 00:32:47,690
I wanna... Just just real quick mention. I

856
00:32:47,690 --> 00:32:49,924
know you got time constraints because I was...

857
00:32:50,403 --> 00:32:52,717
My my Silly Wi, I guess wasn't good

858
00:32:52,717 --> 00:32:52,797
enough.

859
00:32:54,248 --> 00:32:55,202
But but

860
00:32:56,237 --> 00:32:57,373
we we are also

861
00:32:58,066 --> 00:32:59,577
going to launch a product called the Fire

862
00:32:59,577 --> 00:33:00,055
board bridge.

863
00:33:01,183 --> 00:33:03,331
And we're making that public because we want

864
00:33:03,331 --> 00:33:06,377
people to know that this this whole S1G

865
00:33:06,433 --> 00:33:07,388
ecosystem that we're building.

866
00:33:08,198 --> 00:33:10,421
This is really more than just these devices

867
00:33:10,421 --> 00:33:12,168
that you see. I mean, this is this

868
00:33:12,168 --> 00:33:14,471
ecosystem is gonna continue to grow. And the

869
00:33:14,471 --> 00:33:17,351
bridge is a small little device, kind of

870
00:33:17,351 --> 00:33:18,868
like a fire board, but it doesn't have

871
00:33:18,868 --> 00:33:19,746
any probes at all,

872
00:33:20,544 --> 00:33:22,539
but it has S1G

873
00:33:22,539 --> 00:33:24,236
connectivity so that 900 megahertz

874
00:33:24,549 --> 00:33:27,413
It also has Wifi, and it has Bluetooth.

875
00:33:28,208 --> 00:33:30,038
So the bridge can connect more or less

876
00:33:30,038 --> 00:33:30,753
as a repeater,

877
00:33:31,644 --> 00:33:33,395
that can sit inside your house. So any

878
00:33:33,395 --> 00:33:35,010
of your S1G devices

879
00:33:35,944 --> 00:33:38,492
will build a... You carry that signal to

880
00:33:38,492 --> 00:33:40,658
the bridge. The bridge will be connected Wifi

881
00:33:40,658 --> 00:33:42,730
to the cloud. Mh And so that way,

882
00:33:42,969 --> 00:33:44,803
you even have to think about it. You

883
00:33:44,803 --> 00:33:46,556
know, you can have your fire board inside

884
00:33:46,556 --> 00:33:48,151
or outside if you're running drive,

885
00:33:48,803 --> 00:33:50,478
obviously, have to have power there with the

886
00:33:50,478 --> 00:33:51,595
fire board to run the fan.

887
00:33:52,712 --> 00:33:54,546
For those not running dry, the fire board

888
00:33:54,546 --> 00:33:56,620
can be anywhere. So it kinda gives people

889
00:33:56,620 --> 00:33:57,098
some options.

890
00:33:58,867 --> 00:34:00,139
When is the bridge coming up?

891
00:34:01,889 --> 00:34:03,559
So the bridge, our goal is to have

892
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:06,501
that out before the holidays. So we're looking

893
00:34:06,501 --> 00:34:08,193
at, I'm hoping October

894
00:34:08,822 --> 00:34:09,378
November launch.

895
00:34:10,492 --> 00:34:12,002
What are we looking at cost wise on

896
00:34:12,002 --> 00:34:12,320
the pulse?

897
00:34:14,308 --> 00:34:15,818
Pulse is 01:49,

898
00:34:15,978 --> 00:34:17,011
which comes the charger.

899
00:34:18,538 --> 00:34:19,255
And the bridge,

900
00:34:19,814 --> 00:34:21,408
you just just to mention we don't have

901
00:34:21,408 --> 00:34:23,104
things finalized yet. But

902
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,885
right now, we've we've we're aiming at the

903
00:34:27,004 --> 00:34:29,315
sub 100 dollar price point on the bridge.

904
00:34:29,554 --> 00:34:32,184
Yeah. So that would... That would allow people

905
00:34:32,184 --> 00:34:34,177
to get into the whole fire board ecosystem.

906
00:34:34,829 --> 00:34:37,409
In the cloud using all the S1G technology

907
00:34:37,469 --> 00:34:38,589
at a lower price point,

908
00:34:39,230 --> 00:34:40,829
you know, if people don't already in a

909
00:34:40,829 --> 00:34:41,230
fire board.

910
00:34:44,516 --> 00:34:46,737
Any discount if we buy 5 at a

911
00:34:46,737 --> 00:34:46,896
time?

912
00:34:49,275 --> 00:34:51,679
Yeah. We're gonna work up some bundle deals

913
00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:53,507
Greg, and you know, I think, typically, you

914
00:34:53,507 --> 00:34:55,504
know, in in a bundle, you know, we'll

915
00:34:55,504 --> 00:34:58,140
we'll probably work, you know, work that price

916
00:34:58,140 --> 00:35:00,867
down. Yeah. We don't have those those bundles

917
00:35:00,867 --> 00:35:02,781
finalized yet in terms of the, you know,

918
00:35:02,861 --> 00:35:04,376
what the bundle pricing would be. But, yeah,

919
00:35:04,536 --> 00:35:07,327
we... There there are people that are going

920
00:35:07,327 --> 00:35:07,827
to

921
00:35:08,536 --> 00:35:10,521
obviously, to by, you know, a handful of

922
00:35:10,521 --> 00:35:10,760
these.

923
00:35:11,474 --> 00:35:12,983
The other thing in this interesting it comes

924
00:35:12,983 --> 00:35:15,128
with this charger, and we're kinda of waiting

925
00:35:15,128 --> 00:35:15,945
to see

926
00:35:16,494 --> 00:35:18,414
how people really use this and what they...

927
00:35:18,655 --> 00:35:20,335
But you can charge this like, 10 minutes

928
00:35:20,335 --> 00:35:22,974
in it last, like, you know, 15 hours.

929
00:35:23,868 --> 00:35:26,015
So you don't have to have a charger,

930
00:35:27,367 --> 00:35:28,798
potentially, you don't have to have a charger

931
00:35:28,798 --> 00:35:31,661
for every single probe, No. Which may allow

932
00:35:31,661 --> 00:35:33,275
us to actually sell the probe

933
00:35:33,744 --> 00:35:36,120
an individual probe that a without a charge

934
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:36,992
or a lower price.

935
00:35:41,688 --> 00:35:44,166
How can we buy? What's the rollout here?

936
00:35:44,565 --> 00:35:45,764
Or is it available for sale?

937
00:35:47,442 --> 00:35:48,800
Yep. So the rollout?

938
00:35:49,375 --> 00:35:50,655
We are right now,

939
00:35:51,135 --> 00:35:53,054
we are starting to send out invites,

940
00:35:53,934 --> 00:35:55,234
and we've prioritized

941
00:35:55,614 --> 00:35:57,375
the existing fire board customers.

942
00:35:58,109 --> 00:36:00,909
So if you are an existing fire customer,

943
00:36:01,389 --> 00:36:03,329
stay on the lookout for

944
00:36:04,109 --> 00:36:05,949
your email invite, that will give you a

945
00:36:05,949 --> 00:36:06,349
code.

946
00:36:06,844 --> 00:36:08,990
Or you can actually pre order the pulse.

947
00:36:09,627 --> 00:36:11,217
And so we're rolling that out now, it's

948
00:36:11,217 --> 00:36:12,887
kinda going out in phases. So if you

949
00:36:12,887 --> 00:36:14,397
if you haven't seen it yet, just stay

950
00:36:14,397 --> 00:36:14,636
tuned,

951
00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:18,389
so already kinda doing that pre order. Eventually,

952
00:36:18,468 --> 00:36:20,218
the pre order will open to everyone,

953
00:36:20,854 --> 00:36:23,104
and then we're gonna start shipping

954
00:36:23,653 --> 00:36:26,360
probably late August is our goal. We're we're

955
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,349
really... We're close. But I mean, it's just

956
00:36:28,349 --> 00:36:29,305
1 of those things or, you know,

957
00:36:30,260 --> 00:36:32,170
production ramping up and getting all that stuff

958
00:36:32,170 --> 00:36:32,329
done.

959
00:36:33,619 --> 00:36:35,619
So once that starts, then we're gonna open

960
00:36:35,619 --> 00:36:38,420
it up after August would be wide opens

961
00:36:38,420 --> 00:36:40,420
just just take normal orders on a going

962
00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:41,059
forward basis.

963
00:36:42,831 --> 00:36:45,143
Anything else you wanna tell us about the

964
00:36:45,143 --> 00:36:47,614

joining us here. I'm show. We have a

1074
00:41:02,984 --> 00:41:04,417
Youtube poll question of the week that we're

1075
00:41:04,417 --> 00:41:07,680
asking everybody, which is, do you believe that

1076
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,039
the grid market will remain a high 1

1077
00:41:11,039 --> 00:41:13,833
for the balance of 20 24, yes or

1078
00:41:13,833 --> 00:41:13,992
no.

1079
00:41:15,748 --> 00:41:18,862
Yes. It's gonna stay hot. Ted Conrad said

1080
00:41:18,862 --> 00:41:19,841
no. He was

1081
00:41:20,154 --> 00:41:21,213
taking the Contra

1082
00:41:21,671 --> 00:41:24,305
opinion 25 percent of people saying no,

1083
00:41:25,183 --> 00:41:27,498
the overwhelming majority saying yes, They think it's

1084
00:41:27,498 --> 00:41:28,556
going to remain

1085
00:41:29,109 --> 00:41:29,427
hot.

1086
00:41:30,384 --> 00:41:32,217
I wanna get right into it with you,

1087
00:41:32,376 --> 00:41:34,528
which is... We just had Ted Conrad from

00:41:34,528 --> 00:41:36,862

1089
00:41:37,173 --> 00:41:39,161
new release of the fire board pulse, which

1090
00:41:39,161 --> 00:41:41,546
is the name of their new wireless thermometer

1091
00:41:41,546 --> 00:41:43,772
and it seems like a a race between

00:41:43,772 --> 00:41:44,408
the titans,

1093
00:41:45,139 --> 00:41:47,045

getting their wireless thermometer out first, either thermal

1095
00:41:50,459 --> 00:41:53,476
works or fire board and that appears at

1096
00:41:53,476 --> 00:41:55,793
the moment the thermos... Thermal works might be

1097
00:41:55,793 --> 00:41:57,300
out here in the next couple weeks, but

1098
00:41:57,300 --> 00:41:58,252
time will tell on that.

1099
00:41:59,045 --> 00:42:02,179
What do you know about fire boards, pulse

1100
00:42:02,237 --> 00:42:05,029
and from whatever you caught from Ted segment

1101
00:42:05,029 --> 00:42:06,943
because I know you're around there on time

1102
00:42:06,943 --> 00:42:10,054
for your segment, your thoughts about hearing what's

1103
00:42:10,054 --> 00:42:11,330
involved features and benefits wise.

1104
00:42:13,567 --> 00:42:16,264
III like the pulse. I think kind of

1105
00:42:16,264 --> 00:42:18,009
the differentiator for me with

1106
00:42:18,564 --> 00:42:21,449
fire board is that they're developing an ecosystem.

1107
00:42:21,609 --> 00:42:23,449
And I think that's, you know, really cool

1108
00:42:23,449 --> 00:42:25,849
where some of their competitors, every product you

1109
00:42:25,849 --> 00:42:27,130
buy is, like a 1 off.

1110
00:42:27,864 --> 00:42:29,539
There... When when you buy from then, the

1111
00:42:29,539 --> 00:42:32,093
pulse now and with the, you know, fire

1112
00:42:32,093 --> 00:42:34,487
board 2 and the spark, they all work

1113
00:42:34,487 --> 00:42:37,519
together. So every product you get, it's it's

1114
00:42:37,519 --> 00:42:39,896
like you already, you know, you get something

1115
00:42:39,896 --> 00:42:41,560
more out of your money. I I think

1116
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:42,273
it's a cool product.

1117
00:42:43,241 --> 00:42:44,594
Are you good with a hundred and 50

1118
00:42:44,594 --> 00:42:45,730
bucks for a

1119
00:42:46,105 --> 00:42:47,378
the a probe and a charger?

1120
00:42:51,777 --> 00:42:53,295
I if I was if I was new,

1121
00:42:53,455 --> 00:42:55,453
if I would if I didn't have, like,

1122
00:42:55,533 --> 00:42:57,691
a fire board too or signals or something

1123
00:42:57,691 --> 00:42:59,463
like that, I probably would. I think that's

1124
00:42:59,463 --> 00:43:00,261
a reasonable price.

1125
00:43:01,777 --> 00:43:03,932
Would it make me wanna upgrade? You know,

1126
00:43:04,172 --> 00:43:06,247
I don't know. That's that's a harder sell.

1127
00:43:07,460 --> 00:43:08,519
Let's talk about

1128
00:43:09,059 --> 00:43:09,559
wireless

1129
00:43:09,940 --> 00:43:12,199
thermometers for a second because over the last

1130
00:43:12,980 --> 00:43:14,739
handful of years. We've seen a number of

1131
00:43:14,739 --> 00:43:17,311
wireless thermometers come to market. They've all pretty

1132
00:43:17,311 --> 00:43:18,027
much sucked.

1133
00:43:18,664 --> 00:43:20,414
Time will tell, on, the fire board, of

1134
00:43:20,414 --> 00:43:21,846
course, and thermal works product.

1135
00:43:22,561 --> 00:43:24,885
Those 2 more than any of the other

1136
00:43:24,885 --> 00:43:27,273
ones give me the most hope of a

1137
00:43:27,273 --> 00:43:28,728
successful product, but

1138
00:43:29,184 --> 00:43:31,755
let's say for whatever reason they both

1139
00:43:32,463 --> 00:43:34,533
fall on their face or they're really not

1140
00:43:34,533 --> 00:43:36,602
or they're marginally better than what's existing out

1141
00:43:36,602 --> 00:43:38,034
there? Do you think you could see a

1142
00:43:38,034 --> 00:43:39,012
rollback to wires

1143
00:43:39,547 --> 00:43:42,114
if wireless didn't really take hold here in

1144
00:43:42,114 --> 00:43:44,828
the next handful of months or a year?

1145
00:43:46,823 --> 00:43:49,633
Yeah. I think if you know, it'll depend

1146
00:43:49,633 --> 00:43:51,951
on how well the connectivity works with these

1147
00:43:51,951 --> 00:43:54,747
products because, like, you Wife had negative experiences

1148
00:43:54,747 --> 00:43:55,946
with wireless thermometers.

1149
00:43:57,639 --> 00:44:00,036
And I I really... I don't find the

1150
00:44:00,036 --> 00:44:02,353
wires that cumbersome. Like, I think it's, you

1151
00:44:02,353 --> 00:44:05,251
know, a cool product and and neat. But

1152
00:44:05,804 --> 00:44:06,123
you know,

1153
00:44:06,841 --> 00:44:07,740
especially if you're,

1154
00:44:08,437 --> 00:44:09,735
you know, running a bridge

1155
00:44:10,431 --> 00:44:12,266
with a a wireless probe,

1156
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:13,557
you know,

1157
00:44:14,273 --> 00:44:16,024
you're saving that little wire from 1 to

1158
00:44:16,024 --> 00:44:17,400
the other product, but,

1159
00:44:18,014 --> 00:44:19,844
you know, is... To me, it's not the

1160
00:44:19,844 --> 00:44:21,371
much of a hassle. You know, I guess,

1161
00:44:21,530 --> 00:44:23,360
with grilling when you're flipping things, if you're

1162
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,269
running a a where, you know, wired probe,

1163
00:44:25,508 --> 00:44:26,463
that's kinda more annoying.

1164
00:44:27,338 --> 00:44:28,850
But, yeah, you know, I I don't think

1165
00:44:28,850 --> 00:44:31,249
there's anything wrong with wired probe, so I

1166
00:44:31,249 --> 00:44:32,916
think if connectivity doesn't prove out.

1167
00:44:33,869 --> 00:44:34,822
III

1168
00:44:34,822 --> 00:44:35,774
could see that going back.

1169
00:44:36,965 --> 00:44:37,862
I like to

1170
00:44:39,283 --> 00:44:41,215
figure out where I am in the market

1171
00:44:41,271 --> 00:44:45,351
because I'm 50 years old last week. And

1172
00:44:46,219 --> 00:44:48,050
I remember when I got into barbecue and

1173
00:44:48,050 --> 00:44:50,041
grilling. I mean, everything was wired.

1174
00:44:51,474 --> 00:44:53,226
So I look at it is, am I

1175
00:44:53,226 --> 00:44:54,284
more accepting

1176
00:44:54,993 --> 00:44:57,458
of wires because, you know, a for years

1177
00:44:57,458 --> 00:44:59,764
ted with from Fire board was telling me

1178
00:44:59,764 --> 00:45:00,878
you just have to deal with the wires.

1179
00:45:01,116 --> 00:45:03,365
We don't believe that there's a good wireless

1180
00:45:03,501 --> 00:45:05,429
solution yet otherwise, we bringing it to Mark.

1181
00:45:06,148 --> 00:45:08,066
So he's telling me just chill out, but

1182
00:45:08,066 --> 00:45:10,723
then I've only ever come up in

1183
00:45:11,262 --> 00:45:14,153
a way where there were wires that you

1184
00:45:14,153 --> 00:45:15,664
were gonna have to contend with and I

1185
00:45:15,664 --> 00:45:17,811
agree with you. It wasn't that big of

1186
00:45:17,811 --> 00:45:19,878
a deal. I'm not a big roti history

1187
00:45:19,878 --> 00:45:21,707
guy. I probably should be a bigger roti

1188
00:45:21,707 --> 00:45:23,536
guy than I am, which is like none.

1189
00:45:23,950 --> 00:45:24,450
But

1190
00:45:25,710 --> 00:45:26,210
without

1191
00:45:26,590 --> 00:45:27,489
something circulating

1192
00:45:28,030 --> 00:45:28,510
around,

1193
00:45:29,230 --> 00:45:31,070
you know, no big deal, I didn't really...

1194
00:45:32,043 --> 00:45:33,954
Care if there was a wireless thermometer or

1195
00:45:33,954 --> 00:45:35,945
not, like, asking about it because that seems

1196
00:45:35,945 --> 00:45:37,777
to be where the technology was trending.

1197
00:45:38,414 --> 00:45:39,870
But now that we have

1198
00:45:40,978 --> 00:45:43,688
wireless options. I'm wondering if I was a

1199
00:45:43,688 --> 00:45:45,840
younger me if the show was just starting

1200
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,912
now and I was 25,

1201
00:45:48,804 --> 00:45:51,101
would I be looking at wires and going?

1202
00:45:53,003 --> 00:45:54,666
What do we doing? Is like a printed

1203
00:45:54,666 --> 00:45:58,199
book or using a tablet in a pen

1204
00:45:58,256 --> 00:46:00,563
instead of, you know, taking notes on your

1205
00:46:00,563 --> 00:46:04,082
ipad or your whatever that other devices it

1206
00:46:04,082 --> 00:46:05,758
looks like paper that you can write on,

1207
00:46:05,918 --> 00:46:06,657
but it's all

1208
00:46:07,036 --> 00:46:07,536
technological.

1209
00:46:07,993 --> 00:46:10,228
Is there a is there a generational thing

1210
00:46:10,228 --> 00:46:10,947
here too with that?

1211
00:46:11,665 --> 00:46:11,800
But

1212
00:46:12,637 --> 00:46:14,313
Yeah. I don't know. I might be real

1213
00:46:14,313 --> 00:46:16,309
old school because I actually, I like...

1214
00:46:18,064 --> 00:46:18,942
I have 1...

1215
00:46:20,313 --> 00:46:22,148
Wired probe, but it it connects to a

1216
00:46:22,148 --> 00:46:23,903
a handled controller. I don't like using my

1217
00:46:23,903 --> 00:46:27,150
phone too much to continually check temperature. So

1218
00:46:27,348 --> 00:46:29,495
maybe I'm I'm even older school than that

1219
00:46:29,495 --> 00:46:32,119
where, you know, the fire board apps works

1220
00:46:32,119 --> 00:46:35,061
well. But great. I I think some too

1221
00:46:35,061 --> 00:46:36,276
too is, like, how

1222
00:46:37,143 --> 00:46:39,052
how new you are to grilling? Because I

1223
00:46:39,052 --> 00:46:41,382
know my experience with a different

1224
00:46:41,836 --> 00:46:43,609
wireless probe, is it felt like

1225
00:46:44,079 --> 00:46:45,920
they were really into the tech of it.

1226
00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:48,500
So, like, beyond the wireless probe, their app

1227
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,039
was, like, overly guided and would want...

1228
00:46:51,694 --> 00:46:53,208
Would would want you to set up a

1229
00:46:53,208 --> 00:46:55,439
cook every time, like you couldn't just pop

1230
00:46:55,439 --> 00:46:56,793
it in and then read temperatures,

1231
00:46:57,192 --> 00:46:59,104
and then it would bug you that it

1232
00:46:59,104 --> 00:47:00,379
would say it's not far enough in the

1233
00:47:00,379 --> 00:47:02,387
meat or it's too far and it was,

1234
00:47:02,467 --> 00:47:04,461
like, a total hassle because they... I don't

1235
00:47:04,461 --> 00:47:05,898
know. They just made the assumption that you've

1236
00:47:05,898 --> 00:47:07,573
never, you know, cooked anything in your life.

1237
00:47:08,132 --> 00:47:09,821
So I don't know if if maybe that's

1238
00:47:09,821 --> 00:47:11,176
the demographic they go for.

1239
00:47:12,132 --> 00:47:13,964
But, you know, I mean, I'm in my

1240
00:47:13,964 --> 00:47:15,558
forties, so I'm not too much younger than

1241
00:47:15,558 --> 00:47:18,285
you, But So if it it's general generational.

1242
00:47:18,525 --> 00:47:19,402
I I don't really know.

1243
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,457
You did a article on

1244
00:47:22,994 --> 00:47:24,772
Green Mountain Grill recently

1245
00:47:25,403 --> 00:47:28,341
where they were rec committing, let's say, to

1246
00:47:28,341 --> 00:47:30,564
a dealer only sales channel.

1247
00:47:31,675 --> 00:47:32,731
We've talked about

1248
00:47:33,358 --> 00:47:35,684
sales of grill on this show

1249
00:47:36,137 --> 00:47:37,726
more than a number of times.

1250
00:47:38,282 --> 00:47:40,767
And it seemed like the new model was

1251
00:47:41,635 --> 00:47:43,635
do what Green Mountain G is doing, which

1252
00:47:43,635 --> 00:47:46,114
is building a dealer network or continuing to

1253
00:47:46,114 --> 00:47:47,795
build our dealer network through the country. They

1254
00:47:47,795 --> 00:47:48,775
probably need to

1255
00:47:50,526 --> 00:47:52,672
regain some relationships that might have been lost

1256
00:47:52,672 --> 00:47:53,570
over the last

1257
00:47:54,023 --> 00:47:56,647
18 months or so because of the things

1258
00:47:56,647 --> 00:47:58,650
that they were going through. And then continue

1259
00:47:58,650 --> 00:47:59,684
to grow out with new dealers.

1260
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:01,456
But then other people

1261
00:48:01,990 --> 00:48:03,922
wanted to add ADT

1262
00:48:04,059 --> 00:48:06,306
component to that as well or some type

1263
00:48:06,306 --> 00:48:08,382
of a hybrid where they can have brick

1264
00:48:08,382 --> 00:48:10,297
and mortar dealers, but if you wanted to

1265
00:48:10,297 --> 00:48:12,533
go onto the website, you could go direct

1266
00:48:12,533 --> 00:48:13,092
to consumer.

1267
00:48:14,223 --> 00:48:16,155
What is Jason's thought on

1268
00:48:16,689 --> 00:48:19,950
continuing to stay with a dealer only commitment?

1269
00:48:22,275 --> 00:48:24,906
Yeah. I... Yeah. The article obviously stemmed out

1270
00:48:24,906 --> 00:48:26,761
of a conversation I had with Jason

1271
00:48:27,298 --> 00:48:27,856
about that.

1272
00:48:29,132 --> 00:48:31,372
And You know, I kinda hadn't thought about

1273
00:48:31,372 --> 00:48:33,118
it too much that when you go D

1274
00:48:33,118 --> 00:48:37,031
t that you're you're kinda competing with your

1275
00:48:37,166 --> 00:48:38,198
distribution channel, you know,

1276
00:48:38,849 --> 00:48:41,730
like, you're... You you want people to buy

1277
00:48:41,730 --> 00:48:43,489
through them, obviously, but you make better margin

1278
00:48:43,489 --> 00:48:45,250
if they buy directly from you. So you're

1279
00:48:45,250 --> 00:48:47,829
more incentivized to sell, you know, D.

1280
00:48:48,544 --> 00:48:51,661
So he he had some strong feelings that,

1281
00:48:51,740 --> 00:48:53,919
you know, companies shouldn't do that. They should

1282
00:48:54,298 --> 00:48:57,115
support their existing dealer models rather than

1283
00:48:57,507 --> 00:49:00,689
straight out compete against them, and he he

1284
00:49:00,689 --> 00:49:03,973
was really passionate about just making sure that

1285
00:49:04,363 --> 00:49:06,661
you know, he supported the dealer network. He

1286
00:49:06,661 --> 00:49:07,875
can controls

1287
00:49:08,246 --> 00:49:11,416
national advertising for them and promotes the product.

1288
00:49:11,829 --> 00:49:14,230
But then funnels all those sales through the

1289
00:49:14,230 --> 00:49:15,589
dealers themselves, which...

1290
00:49:16,230 --> 00:49:17,429
To me makes a lot of, you, you

1291
00:49:17,429 --> 00:49:19,029
know, makes a lot of sense for what

1292
00:49:19,029 --> 00:49:20,949
what they're doing and what their product is.

1293
00:49:21,285 --> 00:49:22,724
You know, I I think it's it's a

1294
00:49:22,724 --> 00:49:23,684
good model for them.

1295
00:49:25,605 --> 00:49:26,265
Is it

1296
00:49:26,644 --> 00:49:28,005
a bit of an old school model?

1297
00:49:28,739 --> 00:49:30,494
Or do you think more companies are just

1298
00:49:30,494 --> 00:49:32,489
trying to figure out every way to get

1299
00:49:32,489 --> 00:49:34,643
in front of a customer to be available

1300
00:49:34,643 --> 00:49:35,042
for sale?

1301
00:49:36,732 --> 00:49:38,666
Yeah. I think it is old school,

1302
00:49:39,043 --> 00:49:41,035
you know, completely. It seems like every grill

1303
00:49:41,035 --> 00:49:42,947
company wants to be d to see because

1304
00:49:42,947 --> 00:49:44,954
it's you know, the margins are so good

1305
00:49:44,954 --> 00:49:47,744
there. You're you cut out, you know, up

1306
00:49:47,744 --> 00:49:49,338
to a a third of a commission,

1307
00:49:50,295 --> 00:49:52,383
a third of your sales. So you know,

1308
00:49:52,623 --> 00:49:54,140
that's that's a model that people want to

1309
00:49:54,140 --> 00:49:54,879
go to

1310
00:49:55,337 --> 00:49:57,492
without getting too saturated because then you miss

1311
00:49:57,492 --> 00:49:59,887
out on on some advertising from people being

1312
00:49:59,887 --> 00:50:00,925
able to see it locally.

1313
00:50:01,579 --> 00:50:04,371
But but, yeah, it's, you know, I I...

1314
00:50:04,530 --> 00:50:06,286
For sure, that's the way that business used

1315
00:50:06,286 --> 00:50:07,722
to be done with local mom and Pops.

1316
00:50:08,855 --> 00:50:09,835
Did he mention

1317
00:50:10,215 --> 00:50:11,815
when the grill were gonna be available for

1318
00:50:11,815 --> 00:50:13,974
sale or what his inventory level is like

1319
00:50:13,974 --> 00:50:14,215
right now?

1320
00:50:16,614 --> 00:50:18,547
He... It sounded like it I I can't

1321
00:50:18,547 --> 00:50:20,222
remember any, like, hard numbers, but he, you

1322
00:50:20,222 --> 00:50:22,854
know, he said that they were were healthy

1323
00:50:22,854 --> 00:50:25,087
and and and products were were coming soon.

1324
00:50:25,247 --> 00:50:27,974
And so... Mh. You know, everything that that

1325
00:50:28,133 --> 00:50:29,966
I had heard about it and and written

1326
00:50:29,966 --> 00:50:32,596
about seemed like it was, you know, true

1327
00:50:32,596 --> 00:50:34,610
as far as timelines are concerned

1328
00:50:36,197 --> 00:50:37,572
I noticed that

1329
00:50:38,902 --> 00:50:42,004
oh, I'm always forgetting what their name? Vista

1330
00:50:42,402 --> 00:50:42,640
Outdoor,

1331
00:50:43,374 --> 00:50:46,251
the vista Yeah. The ones... Is this... Yeah.

1332
00:50:46,570 --> 00:50:49,608
Were they the manufacturer of camp chef or

1333
00:50:49,767 --> 00:50:52,325
Vista sold the manufacturing of camp chef, how

1334
00:50:52,325 --> 00:50:53,219
did that workout.

1335
00:50:54,980 --> 00:50:56,579
Yeah. And people are probably so sick of

1336
00:50:56,579 --> 00:50:58,260
me writing about that. It just seems like

1337
00:50:58,260 --> 00:50:59,619
there's endless on it.

1338
00:51:00,514 --> 00:51:02,507
But Vista outdoor, they own a... So they're...

1339
00:51:02,905 --> 00:51:04,181
They used to be part of Smith and

1340
00:51:04,260 --> 00:51:06,195
Wesson in a long time ago, and they

1341
00:51:06,333 --> 00:51:08,826
then... So they have, like, a shooting sport

1342
00:51:09,300 --> 00:51:11,300
segment an arm called the Kinetic Group, and

1343
00:51:11,300 --> 00:51:14,099
then they have camp chef and, like, camel

1344
00:51:14,099 --> 00:51:14,340
back,

1345
00:51:15,619 --> 00:51:18,272
and some other, like, golfing stuff and so

1346
00:51:18,272 --> 00:51:20,255
all these outdoor brands that are gonna go

1347
00:51:20,255 --> 00:51:21,366
into a separate umbrella.

1348
00:51:22,001 --> 00:51:25,588
And they're selling either just that shooting port

1349
00:51:25,588 --> 00:51:28,058
or there's another company that keeps actively trying

1350
00:51:28,058 --> 00:51:29,731
to buy out the whole company.

1351
00:51:30,369 --> 00:51:32,599
But what will likely happen is they'll sell

1352
00:51:32,599 --> 00:51:34,273
their shooting business to,

1353
00:51:35,404 --> 00:51:38,280
a Checklist Slovakia company. And then the

1354
00:51:39,159 --> 00:51:41,396
camp chef will go into rev list, which

1355
00:51:41,396 --> 00:51:42,115
will be

1356
00:51:43,088 --> 00:51:45,318
publicly traded. And the idea there is from

1357
00:51:45,318 --> 00:51:46,353
the sale of the other half,

1358
00:51:47,070 --> 00:51:49,539
like, 250000000 dollars gets put into R and

1359
00:51:49,539 --> 00:51:51,291
d and and promoting those brands.

1360
00:51:51,864 --> 00:51:53,385
And that's supposed to happen this month, but

1361
00:51:53,385 --> 00:51:55,885
it's kinda contentious and there's some

1362
00:51:56,184 --> 00:51:58,184
investors that are against it, some that are

1363
00:51:58,184 --> 00:52:00,837
either boards for it. So you know, we'll

1364
00:52:00,837 --> 00:52:02,512
see what what happens with all that.

1365
00:52:03,230 --> 00:52:04,665
In the meantime, what do we think about

1366
00:52:04,745 --> 00:52:05,883
Camp chef as a

1367
00:52:06,659 --> 00:52:08,972
legitimate pe cooker? They're still holding their own?

1368
00:52:11,223 --> 00:52:12,900
I I think their wood win pro is

1369
00:52:12,900 --> 00:52:13,380
really cool.

1370
00:52:14,179 --> 00:52:14,418
They

1371
00:52:15,137 --> 00:52:17,155
you know, they came out. It's been

1372
00:52:17,467 --> 00:52:18,898
Was that I think it was last year

1373
00:52:18,898 --> 00:52:20,884
or or year I think it's longer than

1374
00:52:20,884 --> 00:52:21,043
that.

1375
00:52:22,234 --> 00:52:22,949
Is it? Yeah.

1376
00:52:24,474 --> 00:52:28,139
Yeah. Probably. Yeah. I think summer fall of...

1377
00:52:28,378 --> 00:52:30,370
Yeah. Yeah. So you're probably right. But

1378
00:52:31,898 --> 00:52:33,488
I think that that still holds up. I

1379
00:52:33,488 --> 00:52:35,555
think it's a cool product. There's not much

1380
00:52:35,555 --> 00:52:37,304
else that can compete with it and in

1381
00:52:37,304 --> 00:52:38,973
in terms of smoke. You know, I've seen

1382
00:52:38,973 --> 00:52:39,053
it.

1383
00:52:39,863 --> 00:52:40,737
Used in person.

1384
00:52:41,850 --> 00:52:43,043
But I don't I don't know if it's

1385
00:52:43,043 --> 00:52:44,633
from the sale. I don't feel like they've

1386
00:52:44,633 --> 00:52:46,382
come out with too much since then though.

1387
00:52:46,541 --> 00:52:47,973
They came out with a grid that had

1388
00:52:47,973 --> 00:52:50,135
a little design and, like, a Grease trough

1389
00:52:50,135 --> 00:52:50,692
in the front.

1390
00:52:51,726 --> 00:52:53,716
Beyond that, I can't think of anything else

1391
00:52:53,716 --> 00:52:56,182
they they did. I mean, I don't know

1392
00:52:56,182 --> 00:52:57,536
what what are your thoughts Where where's is

1393
00:52:57,536 --> 00:52:59,303
their place in the market? Thought they were

1394
00:52:59,303 --> 00:53:01,219
gonna be the next big thing, and then

1395
00:53:01,219 --> 00:53:01,719
they

1396
00:53:02,177 --> 00:53:04,013
came up, like, a house of fire that

1397
00:53:04,093 --> 00:53:06,089
Woodland Pro was really cool, and then it

1398
00:53:06,089 --> 00:53:08,500
seems like they hit the pause button. I

1399
00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:10,099
don't know if there was with all the

1400
00:53:10,099 --> 00:53:11,780
internal struggling that was going on with a

1401
00:53:11,780 --> 00:53:13,320
bunch of the other stuff if that

1402
00:53:14,019 --> 00:53:15,539
through a wrench and to the mix or

1403
00:53:15,539 --> 00:53:18,211
if they just stopped introducing or

1404
00:53:18,909 --> 00:53:20,984
refreshing or whatever you wanna call it. But

1405
00:53:22,022 --> 00:53:24,039
if you wouldn't have told me anything about

1406
00:53:24,098 --> 00:53:26,188
camp over the last 2 years, I probably

1407
00:53:26,188 --> 00:53:27,306
would have said they went out of business.

1408
00:53:29,062 --> 00:53:31,217
Yeah. I and I I think that's what

1409
00:53:31,217 --> 00:53:33,452
it is Their a sale sale process takes

1410
00:53:33,452 --> 00:53:35,061
up tons of time, but you know, they're

1411
00:53:35,061 --> 00:53:37,447
1 of the companies that pissed outdoor. They

1412
00:53:37,447 --> 00:53:40,413
fired their Ceo through all the grill craziness.

1413
00:53:41,345 --> 00:53:42,958
And then they also sold they

1414
00:53:43,349 --> 00:53:44,708
In 20 21, at the end of the

1415
00:53:44,708 --> 00:53:47,824
year, they bought pellet mill manufacturer Called a

1416
00:53:47,824 --> 00:53:48,943
fiber energy products.

1417
00:53:50,062 --> 00:53:51,661
You know, Sure they paid a premium for

1418
00:53:51,661 --> 00:53:52,835
it given the timing

1419
00:53:53,353 --> 00:53:55,269
honestly there's like 48000000 dollars or something like

1420
00:53:55,269 --> 00:53:57,585
that. And they announced last week that they

1421
00:53:57,585 --> 00:54:00,299
sold that. So they, you know, bought that

1422
00:54:00,299 --> 00:54:01,416
and kept it for a couple of years

1423
00:54:01,416 --> 00:54:01,975
and sold it.

1424
00:54:02,708 --> 00:54:03,208
So,

1425
00:54:03,581 --> 00:54:05,646
you know, I I think they're just trying

1426
00:54:05,646 --> 00:54:07,711
to get through the sale of their company

1427
00:54:07,711 --> 00:54:09,856
and see what happens is my my thoughts.

1428
00:54:10,094 --> 00:54:11,943
But you know, They do have cool products

1429
00:54:11,943 --> 00:54:13,302
though, so I hope something good comes. Right?

1430
00:54:13,621 --> 00:54:15,379
I think last month, we touched on the

1431
00:54:15,379 --> 00:54:15,879
z

1432
00:54:16,418 --> 00:54:18,655
promotion a month later. I still see a

1433
00:54:18,655 --> 00:54:21,533
lot of social media, advertising about it. You

1434
00:54:21,533 --> 00:54:22,907
know anybody that's actually

1435
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:24,391
taken advantage of it?

1436
00:54:25,979 --> 00:54:28,202
I do not. I've never never heard of

1437
00:54:28,202 --> 00:54:30,367
anyone that done it. I ran the Youtube

1438
00:54:30,367 --> 00:54:32,041
poll question of the week a couple weeks

1439
00:54:32,041 --> 00:54:34,510
ago. Did you take advantage of the Z

1440
00:54:34,510 --> 00:54:36,445
g promotion and 100

1441
00:54:36,503 --> 00:54:38,255
percent of people said that they did not.

1442
00:54:39,224 --> 00:54:40,653
Thank you, Man. I was shocked. I mean,

1443
00:54:40,733 --> 00:54:42,163
for 777

1444
00:54:42,163 --> 00:54:43,989
bucks for the potential of having a new

1445
00:54:43,989 --> 00:54:46,316
grill every 5 years for 50 years that

1446
00:54:47,023 --> 00:54:50,276
seemed like the juice might be worth of

1447
00:54:50,276 --> 00:54:52,125
squeeze if I said that right, but

1448
00:54:53,371 --> 00:54:55,409
I don't know. I... I asked James How

1449
00:54:55,529 --> 00:54:56,988
last week. Very covert.

1450
00:54:58,246 --> 00:55:00,324
If you're gonna be somebody that takes advantage

1451
00:55:00,324 --> 00:55:02,103
of that, what's the real

1452
00:55:02,641 --> 00:55:04,653
expectation that they're really gonna pay off all

1453
00:55:04,653 --> 00:55:05,950
the way through it. And

1454
00:55:06,485 --> 00:55:08,238
he seemed to be 50 50. He was

1455
00:55:08,238 --> 00:55:09,114
a little bit more,

1456
00:55:09,831 --> 00:55:10,469
tempered on...

1457
00:55:11,026 --> 00:55:13,187
Well, he's a little bit more bullish on

1458
00:55:13,187 --> 00:55:14,934
the fact that he thought they might pay

1459
00:55:14,934 --> 00:55:17,395
off more than not, but always comes back

1460
00:55:17,395 --> 00:55:19,483
with Caveat, of course. So

1461
00:55:19,874 --> 00:55:21,632
What do you think? You think you sign

1462
00:55:21,632 --> 00:55:23,011
up for it? You're gonna see

1463
00:55:23,390 --> 00:55:25,148
those line of grill every 5 years for

1464
00:55:25,148 --> 00:55:27,226
the next 50 or should you be happy

1465
00:55:27,226 --> 00:55:28,185
if you get half that amount?

1466
00:55:30,275 --> 00:55:32,429
Yeah. I think if you get, I'll say

1467
00:55:32,429 --> 00:55:34,343
3 grill out of it. That's a pretty

1468
00:55:34,343 --> 00:55:36,736
good pretty good deal. You know, that's 50

1469
00:55:36,736 --> 00:55:38,831
years is a long time, You know, that's

1470
00:55:39,303 --> 00:55:40,019

So, you know, and they've been around forever.

1474
00:55:46,958 --> 00:55:48,704
Expecting z to be around for the next

1475
00:55:48,704 --> 00:55:51,326
50 is kinda seems like AAA tall ask.

1476
