I just bought the WSM 22. I am going to buy the Cajun Bandit door for sure, but i saw the charcoal ring is an extra couple bucks if bought together. I'm wondering how much extra capacity it provides in the 22 since it doesn't really give any specifics on the website. Can anyone say whether or...

Yea I sent them photos of this and they immediately send me a new center section. Great Customer Service!

Did you ever get this replaced? Mine came today and has this same defect

Just bought a brand new WSM 22. The center section is just ever so slightly out of round based on using a tape measure. I tried to bear hug it slightly but it just doesn't want to go to perfect center (based on the lid catching as it seats). The tape measure reading seems more even after the...

Thank you!

I have the HM 4.3 with R-Pi 3b+. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around which mode i should choose for myheatermeter. It appears the wiki seems to suggest that maybe only the 4.2 can handle voltage mode, and therefore the 4.3 should be put in Pulse mode? From the wiki: "Voltage mode is...

I did test before it went in the case and the issue was definitely present so I don't think my issue was related to Q1 getting damaged when inserting into the case. I think it was a soldering issue

Brian, I have another theory about why Q1 could be an issue, it might not be the explanation but it was just a theory. I followed your assembly video on YouTube. In the video, the first of the BS170s you install is Q1. If most people are like me, we haven't don't a lot of soldering and Q1 is the...

I recently bought the Adapt-a-damper kit off the main site and I couldn't be more pleased with it. I'd totally recommend it

How do you guys check up on your HM from your phone when you're away from home? Do you just log into the IP address from google search bar and just use the non-mobile version of the site?

Yea, i forgot to mention that. I made sure to be on the same exact network at the R-Pi. I also made sure to use the same IP address in the PitDroid app that i am successfully monitoring from my computer. Lastly, I also put in the admin password. Even after all 3 of those things, The app still...

Any advice? I just built my HM 4.3 a few days ago. When i initially finished it, PitDroid worked great with all the probes in and they immediately showed up on the app as I plugged them into the HM. But i had fan issues and I ended up having to replace Q1 with a new BS170. Afterwords the fan...

Thank you for the reply. I honestly ended up ordering a BS170 online just to be safe. I did replace the Q1 and that fixed the fan issue though! Seems to be the explanation for a lot of people with fan issues

So I'm having issues with my fan. I'm trying to replace the part Q1 on my HM4.3 board since i read that that is the main culprit of my issue. I went to the parts store today and got a new MOSFET to install. However when i got home, i noticed that the part looks the same, but it is not labeled...
