Ralph was correct, I re-soldered basically the entire board per his instructions and just did a boil test. The TC only shows 208, but both probes showed 212 on the nose. Most importantly, the pork butt was amazing :-) Thanks for all of the help and advice everyone!

I am embarrassed to even post this photo. But alas, maybe it will help someone else. Gonna resolder now and see if that helps.

Thanks Ralph, for all of the responses. Poor solder joints is a definite possibility...this was the first time I have done any real soldering. I am really Type-A so I thought I checked and double checked but its still very likely that I messed something up. As soon as this cook is over I will...

hey Ralph, I assume that behavior is related to the setting above where I have the fan only coming on when the servo is at 100%. I don't disagree that its accurately reflecting what is happening, but the problem is that its happening because of false readings on the probes. The probe is...

Could there be any ill effect from the HM getting really hot? last night I had the HM in a ziplock bag, which I took off this morning. Shortly after, the temp came down. Then, the sun came out. It is 102 in Texas here today and my HM was sitting out in the sun. I went out to check on it and...

Thanks for the reply Bryan. I have attached the screenshot below. One other note, the probe 2 just up and stopped working. Also, the temp difference from my maverick gets worse the higher the temp goes. At 220 deg on the maverick, the HM shows the temp at 267 @John, ya I should have made...

Update: So in the 10 min it took me to post this, the TC temp has dropped to 210. Its still over by about 20 degrees vs the maverick and dome, but now its "more accurate". Im wondering if I have a setting wrong or something. Here is a screenshot of my

Hey all, Got a problem with a cook in progress. Tried to provide as much detail as possible, hope its not too much to read so early in the morning! HM Version: 20141003B All hardware purchased from HM store with the pre-soldered TC module Setup: Probe 0 is a TC ordered from Auber - "K...

Thanks, I will try that Ralph. So I guess I just need to wait until my new probes arrive to know for sure if I have a problem or not? I plugged in a different probe I had laying around and it read 672 degrees sitting on my desk, so I am hopeful the connections work and I just need to get the...

Hi all, So I ordered the complete HM kit with TC and the Rpi from the heatermeter store. I received it on Thursday and was so excited I stayed up till 2am putting it all together in the hopes of using it this weekend. As of last night, I couldn't get it to work - I had typed up an epic post...
