Let me start off by saying I don’t have a Heatermeter. I have my own home brew Arduino based PID temp controller. Not as good as heater meter yet but it’s a work in progress. It gives me another project to tinker with and I'm too far down the road to give up and buy the HM.
Any way I was thinking wouldn’t it be awesome to have an output to tell you how long until your meat reaches the doneness temperature you have set.
Basically I put a cold pork shoulder on the smoker. Smoker is set at 225 meat is at 40 ish degrees. The meats heats up 1 degree every minute at the beginning and 1 degree every 10 minutes towards the end (these are just guesses). As the thermometer starts sensing the rate of rise (delta T over time) it could then output an approximate timer until your meat is done. IE pork shoulder will be done 12 hours and 42 minutes form now.
How difficult would it be to add some software code to the heater meter to do this? It looks like the graph of meat heating up is similar to a Y = LOG X type graph. I figured if I could get you guys with the Heatermeter helping out, I would be able to add it to my own temp controller also.
I did find this product that claims it can do it. I’m curious how well it works I haven’t seen this function on any other controllers or thermometers yet.
