Loved the story, really captures the magic of curiously poking the universe that most folks call inventing stuff

Complete side note....I has wanted something just like the Egg Controller, and got the "fireboard" as a gift. It works fantastically well, and I've wholeheartedly recommended the product since then. The technology stack is well done - changes are instantly reflected on the mobile/desktop/controller - and I've gotten 10x better at smoker cooking using the data collected. Some examples in case anyone is curious:

Here's a test of how well my oven PID works - https://share.fireboard.io/F65461

Here's me showing my grill controller board going bad (got a free replacement board using the data!): https://share.fireboard.io/C95FDA

Here's is a fun one - I wanted to track how much ambient temp changes the internal meat temp (per advice to open/baste as quickly as possible). TUrns out, it's good advice, there is a significant effect! https://share.fireboard.io/792FDC
