I was wondering if you have any updates to this? I have run a heatermeter for years with great success, but have been implementing several ESP32 based devices for other things around the house (pool controller, weather monitor, etc). The esp32 platform is smaller, lightweight, low power, and...

What are you all using as insulation for these? It appears maybe a rock wool product? I have considering adding insulation to my vertical smoker for better efficiency. Thanks.

Bryan, I have seen mention that you might go with C.H.I.P. as a replacement for the raspberry pi with future development of the HM. I know there is a old thread on here mentioning the Onion Omega that you had responded too. Back then it was a kickstarter and still vapor ware. Today it is real...

About 2/3 of the way through a 14 lb brisket on my UDS. Currently (9 am CST) I am getting some inconsistent burn in my fuel basket, nothing to worry too much about though. blackbarrelbbq.com

Bryan, Thanks for the data, that makes me feel pretty good about having enough power to not run out right at the end of a cook. It sounds like an 8 to 10 Ah 12 volt battery is good to go for a nice and slow brisket cook at 18 to 20 hrs. Do you think how often the wifi is accessed will increase...

The advantage I saw was fitting it all in a fairly small case and the weather resistance. The idea of possibly having a 12 volt car lead acid battery in the rain chilling next to my smoker wasn't that appealing. I could buy a cheap plastic tub at walmart or something, but that just didn't seem...

Portable weather resistant build I was wondering if you have any more feedback on your experience with this? Do you run a damper servo? Where did you tap/connect your multi-meter to measure current draw? I was just looking into doing something very similar, there is a friendly low key...

Andy, I did see that, and some of the threads on that forum are where I have figured out how to do a lot of my tweaking to the printer. I haven't printed enough that things would be worn out, at least I don't think so. I haven't even gone half through one of my cartridges. Overall I am happy...

I have one, you are correct the cartridges aren't as big a deal as everyone makes them out to be. For the most part they are cost effective with a cartridge being only $28 shipped from amazon prime. I too am running a hacked management software that doesn't even use the counters in them. There...

I think this is a great idea. As I stated in another thread I am often curious who is watching one of my cooks when I post up a link. I think being able to see who else is cooking across the country/world would be pretty neat as well. I started my smoking habit recently and with 4 other guys I...

I'm certainly in!! Thanks for the give away.

Bryan this is awesome! Thanks for all your hard work in developing this and making this DIY project possible. If you ever do a kickstarter someday I'm there. Has anybody made a list of what parts/quantities from the shopping list are different than the previous version? Figuring on screwing...

I often share a link to view my smokes with my buddies and my brother, there is something quite communal and fun about all of us watching the graph live. I just posted one of my live smokes for the first time on here as well. Is there a way to see or list the number of users or unique ip's...

I am actually quite interested in measuring the humidity in the smoker as well. I built a UDS that has a lower rack on which I have been placing a deflector pan filled with beer or water for each smoke. It greatly changes the "feel" of the smoke coming out of my smoker to be quite damp. I am...

http://dangetz.com/luci Heatermeter v4.1 (anxiously awaiting the official release of 4.2) 8.7 lb brisket after trimming UDS Cooking it a little hotter than usual with the hope of being done in time for a late dinner. I have lurked here for awhile, but this will be about my 8th smoke with the...
