I have a stoker, 4 meat probes, 2 pit probes, a 4 CFM fan, and a custom built manifold with a 30 foot cord, so that I can put it in my trailer. Lately, it has been flaking out. For example yesterdays comp! It was about 9am, and I'm getting ready for turn ins, I've got ribs brisket and pork in...

Hi Amir, I want to thank you!!! I really like your software. It is really great. I was surprised when I replaced my guru with the stoker that the http interface wasn't more robust. I've found it a vital tool, at measuring times for comps. I'm amazed how easy it is to forget to take notes...
