    Rib analysis

    Hello everyone, Tried ribs for the second time yesterday. They were each ~3.5lb St. Louis cut spares. While they looked decent and more or less tasted good (flavor wise), the texture wasn't the best. The outer layer was a fairly tough "skin". The meat between bones was ok/tender but somewhat...

    Running HM off of a battery (a review)

    I thought I'd share my experience so far on a recent acquisition for my HM... specifically, a rechargeable battery unit. The reason is simple... avoid having to use an extension cord to run my HeaterMeter and thus quicker setup and put-away. The first step was to get an accurate measurement of...

    Noise graph firmware?

    I wired up a small break out box to run my probes over cat5. It works but it introduced noise into the probes... Ui showing noise icon and some jagged temps. Probably not a big deal but I'd like to fix it if possible. I remember a while back a special firmware which included a noise graph that...

    Wire connections at fan motor

    On two separate occasions of either setting up or removing my HM and fan from my cooker I've ripped out each of the wires from the side of the fan (I don't leave the HM and fan outside when not in use). I've had to resolder the tiny little wires each time. I then noticed a small "slot" on the...

    PID tuning test

    Hi all - A few days ago I hooked up my HM to my kettle with the primary goal of trying out a new charcoal ring and heat diffuser. Instead of burning through a load of charcoal with no food, I smoked some almonds for the first couple of hours (which turned out great). After a few hours I...

    Flaky Pit Temp

    I had my HM 4.1 working like a champ. I had applied the "white wire mod" for the ground connection and added a ground connection to each of my ET732 probes. I also replaced 3 of the 4 resistors for Pit,food 1, and food 2 to 22k to better work with those probes. Everything worked flawlessly for...

    4.1 White wire mod

    I'm applying the barrel jack "white wire mod". I removed the barrel jack and scored the ground plane connections. I then tested the continuity between that hole and other points labeled GND. There was no continuity as expected. However, I reinstalled the barrel jack and for kicks measured the...

    Debugging 4.1 board

    Sigh... I knew I'd be that guy. I finished putting together a 4.1 HM board, hooked it to the pi and booted the SD card. Power is running from the USB->pi only at this point. The ACT light on the pi do their thing, but I never get anything on the HM board - no LCD writing, no LEDs etc. The LCD...

    HM 4.1, resistors R5, R16, R17, R18

    Are the resistors inside the red square the R5, R16, R17, R18 resistors that are connected to the probe jacks that can be swapped out with different resistors based on the type of probe?

    Fan mounting location on Weber One Touch Kettle

    Hey everyone! I'm starting to gather ideas on how to hook up a heatermeter fan to a Weber kettle grill with the one-touch system. I've seen a variety of ideas online for the PartyQ and Stoker ATC units. I've also seen a few ideas in this forum. My main question is more about where in the...

    Greetings from Upstate NY

    Hello everyone, My name is Brent and I've from Upstate NY (Albany area). I got the smoking bug last summer and picked up a Weber OTS kettle on fire sale at Target (score!). I've had quite a few successful cooks on it so far, including: * 9 lb pork shoulder * Many various sausages *...
