I have started using a pellet smoker and using the HeaterMeter to monitor temps. I do not use the fan output anymore. One small thing pellet smokers suffer through is as you get to the last 1lb of pellets, sometimes the pellets do not funnel into the auger due to the design of the hoppers. I was...

Hi Guys, I cannot get the wifi on my heatermeter to work on it's own. I have configured it as shown here: https://github.com/CapnBry/HeaterMeter/wiki/HeaterMeter-4.x-Software#wireless-client-setup-via-config-file-step-by-step-easiest-method except that I gave it a static IP (the one the DHCP...

I have a HeaterMeter that I accidentally broke one of the usb ports on the Raspberry pi. I have another Raspberry Pi, the same exact type, sitting around I don't use. Can I just switch out the Raspberry pis? I believe all the software and information is stored on the SD card so as long as those...

I have a 4.X heatermeter I think. It was built 3-4 years ago. I have the et-72 and et-732 probes and they are so finicky it drives me nuts. Specifically, the fact that if you push them in too far into the plugs they wont work. Plus the probes are erratic when plugged in. Maybe my heatermeter is...

The Raspberry Pi connected to my heatermeter board has a broken USB plug and now it seems that the Ethernet is not working. I have a known good raspberry pi I was using as a VPN server to my network. Can I jsut take the SD card out of the current Pi and put into the other one and everything will...

I have re-purposed my HeatherMeter when not using it for smokes to monitor my bitcoin mining shed I built. Works pretty well ;P https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=606749

I smoke a lot of pulled pork. I am a little perplexed by this smoke though. I did buy from HEB instead of Sams Club because I wanted a smaller butt. I bought a little over 7 lb butt and after I trimmed some I would say it weighed in around 7 lb. I generally plan of 2 hours per pound at 225. I...

Hello, On two separate ET-732 probes and testing different probe sockets, the reading keeps fluctuating between 9 and the actual temp. The pit probe is a et-732 and it works just fine. Using a ET-72 probe and I do not seem to have this problem. Any clues as to why this is happening?

Doing my first real smoke using the HeaterMeter tonight on Brisket. Of course my et73 pit sensor is no longer working :( But luckily I have a few Et732 meat probes and I will sub one of those. I attend to use text message alert on the heatmeter and the alarm in PitDroid to wake me up if anything...

I am the biggest self criticizer there is. I am always tearing apart my smoked meats and getting upset with this and that. Everyone else is happy but not me! Hah, its a flaw. After soo much work and time that goes into one of these, I want it to be perfect! This weekend I am doing my first...

I have some left over Nomex seal after using it for this idea here: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?38530-Attaching-the-blower-to-the-WSM-My-idea I have enough to do a door seal as there is a lot of smoke pouring out of mine. The question is, should I put the seal on the door or on the WSM? I...

Hello All, I am doing a test burn using my HeaterMeter for the first time. I was trying a different take on the minion method as describe here: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/118905/no-disrespect-to-mr-minion-but-i-dont-start-a-fire-like-that Basically the idea is putting the lit coals on...

So, I would LOVE to have a really nice Android HeaterMeter app that was built specifically for Android. I was thinking of maybe doing it in Adobe Air which would make it cross platform compatible for iOS/Android/Mac/Linux/PC. I am not a coder- I am a project manager and have good ties to...

Hello All, I have done a lot of research and wanted to make sure I understand correctly. I have two pieces of pork belly. I am doing one in a dry rub using http://ruhlman.com/2010/10/home-cured-bacon-2/. It went in the fridge tonight for a smoke on Sunday. I had a 3.5 lb piece so I used...

I live in Central Texas and I get TONS of high winds. It can also get quite cold. I had bought some SolarBoard (radiant barrier it is also called here in Texas) and was going to hinge it together to make a wind block and to help reflect the heat back towards the smoker. I then saw someone build...

While I was out buying parts for the WSM cart I am building, I was looking around for some sort of metal bowl/cup to attached to the wsm. Using this image as a reference idea, http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-128588856314212_2235_515369, I looked for camping coffee mugs, cat/dog bowls, metal...

Hello All, For whatever reason, I decided to try my hand at brining and smoking a fresh ham. I picked up a 12 lb ham butt and had them half that. I have 2 ham butts now. I am going to attempt to brine the smaller butt which is 4.69 lbs. I will be following the recipe here...

Hello All, After owning a ECB, modifying the heck out of it, and getting tired of baby sitting it, I decided to buy a 18.5 WSM instead! Well this was also after I got smoker envy over my friend's new Traeger Pellet Smoker. That was a tad too expensive so I went with the tried and true WSM. I...
