14 pound Angus brisket for America! http://smokin.dawgbytes.com/

Still having this problem... It seems to reset the date to Jan 3, 2016 around 10am each time I boot. The "Sync with browser" button is the only thing that seems to correct it...but that's only until the next boot. Have a 14# butt on now: http://smokin.dawgbytes.com if anyone wants to follow...

Sorry, everything else stays true... Just time that I have a problem with. :(

added some ribs... still not seeing much temp gain on the brisket.

Running a 15# (pretrim) packer cut brisket on my Big Joe. Hopefully coming out of the stall now...

yep -- i access it remotely (outside my LAN) all the time.

I do...with the correct Timezone setting. I can't remember the offset, but it seems to be putting me around 5-6 hours off, IIRC. I suppose I can put in an incorrect timezone to force the correct time.

I have to reset my time to browser time (and then, only from a computer...can't do it from iOS Safari?) every time I boot. None of the settings seem to hold. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

The food was good, but some bites tasted a bit "fuely" --- almost as though there was a gasoline/lighter fluid type taste. This might account for why I was burning through so much lump also.

Thanks for the direction! I'll definitely give both a shot on the next cook!

Sorry sorry sorry, been dealing with a sick pup the last couple days and couldn't get back on to see the replies! The primary rig is a Kamado Joe Big Joe (I've also used it on my KJmini, but only a couple times). The RD3 is connected to a port that I've put in place from a piece of galvanized...

Every cook I've got seems to yield similar results to those in the pic. I cooked without the RD3 attached and my temp seems to stay fairly consistent once dialed in. I feel like I'm flying through lump with these cooks too... Ideas? Also, is there a way of downloading the PNG file directly...

And now a beef clod the same way...haven't done one of these yet. This one is on the Big Joe with firebox divider in. The butt I did on the mini. http://smokin.dawgbytes.com

Running a 11.5 pound butt now on my KJ mini / RD3 setup. http://smokin.dawgbytes.com

I'm thinking there must be a flakey connection within the servo/cat5 punchdown which has been the root of my grief. For whatever reason, from about 8p-930p the fan was running with the closed damper. Double-tapping the "lid open" brought it back to fully open and as you point out, I can't...

Well...just solved part of the problem (at least for this cook): while the HM was running the fan at 100%, the RD3 was fully closed. Not sure how or why that was the case, but hopefully that'll get me up to temp again soon!

I've got a 9ish pound (pre-trim) butt on now... but I keep losing temp and I'm getting a bit frustrated. This is only my 3rd or so cook with the HM/RD3 and probably only 8th or so on the Joe and it's been much the same story as the previous attempts. Anyone with advice? Thanks...

So I've got everything set up, put a fire in my Kamado Joe and enjoyed watching the temp climb up to the 300F set point. Then I dropped the set point to 275F and sure enough, the temp got down there too... Now I see it dancing right around 275 +/- 2F...the RD3 anywhere from 0-20% But as for...

Using an RD3, piece of 1" conduit compression connector (HD $1.13), and some shingle step flashing (HD $0.48) I cut out a piece of the flashing to fit my Kamado Joe bottom damper and put a hole in it for the conduit connector. Haven't cooked on it yet. Just put this together last night...

Unfortunately (?) it's a brand new rPi. After going back to basics and troubleshooting from the rPi website with it...I'm thinking it must be a dead rPi. :(
