    How vital/useful is heatermeter on wsm?

    I have the 22.5" WSM and I much prefer it with the HM. It means I can go to bed with confidence temperature will be maintained and without worrying that the Maverick wireless probes will alarm due to temp going up, down or through connection loss. Prior to HM I spent most pre-BBQ nights...

    so how are you attaching your blower to the smoker

    Cheers Ralph. Thinking back, the first HeaterMeter (pre-burner) test I did I did was pretty unsuccessful and the reason was that the aluminium tape hadn't arrived so the vents weren't sealed off, only closed. I'd used a spare steel cup-holder from my poker table build to cover the front vent...

    Probe Alternatives

    I had two Maverick ET-732 units so I've been using the probes from those, I have the issues with the food probes showing as 'off' until they heat up which is annoying but I guess I can live with it. Recently the two pit probes have started giving me grief if the cables get touched so I assume I...

    so how are you attaching your blower to the smoker

    I think I have around 16 or 17 holes at 6mm each, I would need to go home and check to be sure. I'd read the post about overshoot so I started off with with about 12 3mm holes, then added more, then made them 4.5mm, then made them 6mm and then decided the bottleneck was the 15mm input pipe. At...

    so how are you attaching your blower to the smoker

    So some time ago I had this amazing idea about putting a camping stove gas burner into the bottom of my WSM to control airflow, then I saw this thread and Ralph's air burner and liked it a lot better. My main aim was to automate temperature control so that I could actually go to bed and get...

    Electronics Help Please

    Well done, I wish my missus would break things in a way that meant they were repairable. Usually she sets them on fire... First a washer dryer, then a microwave, then an iron... Lots of smoke!

    Build the v4.0 as practice and then buy the parts for the 4.2 as well :)

    Has anybody fixed a raspberry pi?

    That's what happened to my first Pi, and why I didn't take the composite output off the second... in case I needed to return it :)

    RaspberryPi B+ Supported? No!

    I run my HM4 with a male/female ribbon cable between the HM and the Pi as I didn't want to take the composite output off (in case I needed to return the Pi). It all works fine. Doesn't help with the LAN or USB issues on the B+ though.

    How many Heatermeter/Raspi built so far

    I have recently built a v4.0 that I bought the parts for last year, it's brilliant.
