When I get my **** together, I'll make a youtube of getting all this stuff together for other newbs.... Chris

Yabut how did it connect to the vent..... Chris

I'm also curious as to how people have hooked up their RD3 to the WSM. I know the "dog bowl" is a thing but I'm not sure what to buy and how to connect it. Chris

Ah, yeah, that explains a bunch of it.... Chris

The boards are already built. The issues are: Connecting the Pi to the HM. Building the RD3 and connecting that. Plugging the whole thing in. Chris

And shout out to Mr. Bostwick for hooking me up with the sweet RD3 build. Chris

Additionally, I would like the ideas you all have with regards to hooking the RD3 to a WSM lower vent. I might need to go through more of the roto thread..... Cheers Chris

All, So I have searched and looked and maybe been blind, but is there a comprehensive (or at least somewhat detailed) manual or post with how to set up the heater meter? Maybe I haven't looked hard enough or maybe I can't find what I'm looking for...... So, not to inflame the RTFM crowd (I...

I was pleasantly surprised how long it held temp on a fully lit chimney and another chimney of coals on top of that. I get 9 hours at 250. That is pretty dope..... Chris

OMG I just smoked the greatest tri tip ever!

All, Just received and assembled my 18" WSM. Of course, it is the middle of the week and I have to wait until the weekend to fire it up. I am very much looking forward to learning and posting up my experiences on this forum. Once I settle on a new photo repository I will post pictures. I...

All, I am looking to purchase a damper set up. I'm open to which one, but I have the HM 4.3 with the standard fan (or will, when it gets here, I ordered it) This will be paired with my RPi 3B. I have a 18" WSM so any helpful tips/hardware purchases to attach it to the smoker are also...

Thanks. I had a Cabela's branded Masterbuild propane 7 in 1 for a long time and I smoked a lot of great meat on it, but I'm ready now to get a bit more hard core. I have already ordered a heatermeter to stoke my geek self...... Prolly The Renown Mr. Brown this weekend to break it in..... We...
