Awwww...too bad. I figured since I have two slow cookers maybe I could get away with it. I guess I just need to learn how to time a meal if I want multiple times/temps...or make something else to control the 2nd cooker. I see DIY for like $45 or so but no wifi and optimizations. Thanks for...

Curious if there is a way to use another probe and other wires from the fan to control a second slow cooker. The one issue I have is with multiple temperature cooks like a rare steak and veggies at same time. If I could have two slow cookers going using one HM with 2 probes where one probe...

I will try that tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

Sous Vide Timer?... AND second slow cooker? So far I am enjoying playing with the addon sous vide to the HM. It does really work well and stays within 0.5 degrees Celsius. I have made an awesome steak... Some veggies... And some eggs Benedict. I am curious if there is a way to write a timer...

I would love one myself. Thanks.

One thing the CyberQ cannot do that the HM project can is SOUS VIDE. I only just started using for it but cannot believe the results. A typical immersion circulator can run over $200 by itself...just add an SSR ($10) and some other heating source that you have (slow cooker, deep fryer, etc).

If you will send to Canada, I would take it and return the one I just bought for $15.

Thanks for the reply. I purchased one from an electronics store that had a 40A rating and has the DA designation. My intention is to start using the slow cooker to make sure I like the end product and its usefulness. If I do, I would then convert it into a bigger vessel and create a...

So I have been using my HeaterMeter for the last year and love it...thanks for the ideas and help with it!!! Now I was looking at purchasing an immersion circulator for sous vide but saw the diy...I figured maybe I could double the HM use as a PID. I see I can from the forums. It seems I just...

I just got an email from Thermoworks regarding a sale of their probes. I was told the Pro-series were excellent for this project. For anyone looking for probes they are 30% off. Here is the link...you need to scroll down below the ChefAlarm to get to the probes...

Thanks for the replies... I think the biggest problem is I am kind of colorblind (rings are too hard for me to decipher...all the reds/oranges/browns and blacks/blues all look the same...I had to use my multi meter to separate out the resistors) :) ... plus the diagram sometimes uses a...

Well, I finally received all my parts and was about to begin the build. I ran into a dilemma with the assembly instructions. I am using the board directly from Bryan that has the PCB with screening. I am following the steps from the website but the screening does not match the component...

Parts are starting to arrive... Thanks to Bryan and Ralph for the help and advice...

I am looking to get a couple HeaterMeter projects going after finding it during a search for an digital thermometer that has wifi acess. It looks awesome and I have a couple rpi B just sitting around. I think I have decided to go with the thermocouple board just so I have the best and not need...
