Yep. That scale is original. Had to upgrade the LP connector as it had the quick disconnect type originally.

Happily grilling since 1999 when we received this grill as a wedding gift. Well we are retiring this grill for a larger, natural gas grill. This bright red Weber works great. All the inner bits, burners, flavorizer bars, and cooking grates are relatively new and stainless steel. Very little...

Samuel, I have only poked around on FB Marketplace and Craigslist to get an idea of value. $150 seems to be the lower end of asking prices for 18” models. Not as many 22” models listed but I would sell mine for that price. The heatermeter with all the bits is worth $150 as well as I suspect it...

I’m in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. Love my Weber stuff but I need to offload. First, I am curious what these might be worth? Second, I would prefer to offer up to this group, especially the smoker and heatermeter combo. It is a 22 inch model with double charcoal grate, handles on...

Thanks Ralph. I fiddled with it some more. You also reminded me that I left a detail out in my previous message. I can could connect it via a wired LAN on the rPi. After resetting I was able to get the device to connect via WLAN. WooHoo! Ready to start cooking tomorrow.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Not savvy with Linux. I built a heatermeter more than 3 years ago. I know this because I moved 3 years ago. It is a version 4.2.4. I think it is one of the first versions with a thermocouple for the pit probe. It seems like it should be...

Well I let it run for about 18 hours. It was just logging my basement temperature and the effects of our programmable thermostat. Worked like a charm. I had the set point at 65 degrees and when the furnace thermostat went to a lower set point around 11pm, the heatermeter started ramping up the...

Forgot to ask, would the high voltage be a likely cause? edit: Found a power supply (12v 1.5a) that goes to an old Vonage device. It actually has a grounded plug too. Checked the voltage and it was rock steady around 12v. Next step, I plugged it into the heatermeter and it has been reading...

Thank you John. I saw your first post today and took more photos with several flashlights pointed at the board. They are uploaded now. Same album but I tagged them with "more light" Based on your feedback, i.e. "I don't see anything that pops out as bad", I thought that I should check the...

Scratch what I said in number 4 above. It seems to take a little longer but it does the same thing on 12v power and having the Rpi disconnected.

Pulled it out of the case this morning. 1) Plugged the USB power back into the Rpi and it worked fine again. 2) Checked the diodes and capacitors. They look like the photos in the wiki to me. I must admit I am colorblind so I have a bit more trouble making sure the resistors are in the correct...

This is the first time I have attempted anything like this but the directions were great. Super cool effort going on here. Thanks to Bryan and everyone else that contributes to the development. Plugged power into the Rpi and everything has gone great. Configured the wireless. Played with the...

I have the same grill for 15 years now. Still works great but does not look as nice as yours. Can you point me to a good source for restorations? Might give it a try.

This case requires RaspberryPi model A?

I think someone is selling a middle section in the classified forum right now.
