Bowl here means the bottom section of the WSM. There’s no dog bowl involved.

Bought everything off Bryan's store. Everything works well. The blower components come apart a little to easily for me (not enough friction in the friction fit) I'm looking at ways to improve this, maybe zip tying it together or idk, hasn't really been an issue in practice stays together just...

Feel like I followed Steve’s post in this thread with good results. https://tvwbb.com/threads/phone-call-from-your-hm.63399/#post-702240

Step drill bits. For metal. Painters tape on the area. I’ve put 4 holes for the lid hinge. And recently 4 more for handles and a 3/4 hole in the base for an air burner set up. All without issue. No chipping. so far as tipping with the hinge. ive always just aligned the hinge with one of...

It's all 3/4" except fitting attached to the blower which is a 1->3/4" reducer. It's all friction fit but I may end up soldering the joints external to the smoker. If needed.

Is this a new 4.3/4.2 board? And are you referencing the thermocouple components? My understanding, and experience assembling a 4.3, is the thermocouple components come premounted to the board.

Air burner mod def a success. This is, so far, steadier than the kitchen Oven. 18lb brisket jammed into the top.

Oh man. Installed a lid and door gasket on my WSM. Built an air burner. Drilled a 7/8” hole in the bottom of the bowl. Did a test burn today with 1/4 bag of KBB. Empty water pan. Ran it up to 325 cooked some thighs. Then back to 225 just to see what’s what. default PID. 40% max fan above...

Make sure you have the right version os for the Pi and HM board. When I saw the rainbow screen last week on my initial build it was due to version mismatches. Once I matched up this os to the pi that screen went away.

I've got a 4.3 case with a Pi Zero W. As such I've got 2 USB and 1 RJ45 port looking empty. Was wondering if anyone has or would be willing to print a piece(s) that would "plug in" to those slots to close them up. Obviously I'd be happy to compensate for the materials/labor/shipping. Thanks.

Try adjusting the potentiometer did you try accessing the assigned IP from a browser? the boot up “looks” hung (especially if you are used to booting into a command prompt), I had a similar *** moment earlier. See my recent “DELETE ME” thread a few lines below yours. But it’s not...

First heatermeter run. Many thanks to this community what an amazing piece of kit. Now I just need to figure out this PID business.... anyway. The 24hr. 18.5 WSM. The bit on the left is my test run. The cook went pretty smooth. I think that temp spike must’ve been a piece of smoke wood...

Heatermeter board 4.3 Raspberry Pi 3b+ OS. DevSnapshot - Raspberry Pi 2 / 3/ 3A+ / 3B+ Wireless mode: tried with Client but had similar result now using "default (Heatermeter AP)" Powered over micro usb port on the Pi board itself. LOL. Apparently I'm dumber than I thought... Seems to be...

Just completed assembling my HM 4.3. Still waiting for my Pi Zero W to arrive that will ultimately be the config. But obviously i'm itching to check my work... I have an old 3b+ laying around I assume I can safely do a first boot with the 3B+ to test/verify the build and then swap out to the...

My 18" is from 2006. I cut a slot for the probe wires and added the SS hinge. That hinge is a game changer and I consider it a must have. Everything else i've seen, for me, falls into a nice to have.
