FireBoard Magnetic Base

FireBoard Magnetic Base — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FireBoard Magnetic Base?

The FireBoard Magnetic Base is a mounting accessory for FireBoard 2 series units (FBX2, FBX2D, FBX2K). It features built-in magnets so you can affix your FireBoard to most metal surfaces, plus a non-slip bottom to keep it stable on flat surfaces.

What are the dimensions, materials, and limits?

• Dimensions: 4.88″ wide × 2.125″ tall × 3″ deep
• Material: ABS plastic with silicone / rubber non-slip base
• Maximum safe operating temperature: 150 °F (~ 65 °C)
• Compatible with FireBoard 2 series controllers (FBX2, FBX2D, FBX2K)

How do I install and use the base?

1. Place the base on a clean, flat, metal surface or other stable surface.
2. The magnetic side can attach to metal surfaces; the non-slip bottom allows resting on nonmagnetic surfaces.
3. Slide or position your FireBoard on the base so the screen is visible and ports are accessible.
4. Avoid mounting the base directly to high-heat zones such as the grill lid or body—use only on side shelves or low-heat areas.

What are the advantages and cautions?

Advantages:
• Easy, tool-free mounting to metal surfaces.
• Keeps FireBoard upright and accessible with ports unobstructed.
• Non-slip bottom keeps unit secure when magnet not used.

Cautions / limitations:
• The base should not be attached to grill lids or bodies in high heat zones—maximum temp is 150 °F.
• Magnets may not hold firmly on very thin or painted metal surfaces.
• The plastic / ABS components may degrade over time under exposure to direct sunlight or heat.
