    Brand New Damper Design - "The Micro Damper"

    Very kind of you thanks, but I'll see if I can find a way without troubling you. How do people normally go about mounting the universal version? What diameter is the opening on that? Perhaps I can epoxy some tubing into that and put a connector on the end.

    Thermistor on v4.2

    Yup. I guess it just got missed off the v4.2 assembly instructions page accidentally then. Have edited the wiki to add it.

    Thermistor on v4.2

    Hi, I've just realised I have a thermistor left over from my build. Searching the GitHub pages it looks like there are instructions on how to include the thermistor on the 4.0 and 4.1 assembly instructions, but not the 4.2 instructions. Is this just an oversight, or is there a reason I...

    Brand New Damper Design - "The Micro Damper"

    Hi, I've looked through this thread but this doesn't seem to have been asked previously… I'm in the UK where NPT thread, or even adapters seems to be non-existent. Any suggestions on how to go about mounting the MicroDamper to my WSM?

    Which damper?

    So it looks like I could do with a damper, but there's a few and I'm not sure how to pick one - any tips? I'm using a 4.2.4 HM with the standard fan, on a WSM. Cheers Pete

    so how are you attaching your blower to the smoker

    I've gone with a temporary electrical-tape solution for now until I get a damper of some sort built. In case anyone in the UK ends up looking, here are the parts I used and where I sourced them from. 11cm stainless steel dog bowl M5 x 75mm spring toggle (50mm might have worked though) 35mm...

    Post your live HeaterMeter Cooks

    I'm currently doing my first cook with a HeaterMeter - http://82.1.88.111/ Doing a small rack of beef ribs and it's taking longer than I'd expected… is ~6f/hr normal..? Started off at 225f now pushed it up to 250f. EDIT: In fact the ribs' temperature seems to have stalled and is now even...

    so how are you attaching your blower to the smoker

    So I've got an assembled HeaterMeter up and running, I just need to attach in to my WSM. From the sounds of it, the standard way of doing that is with a dog bowl attached via a spring toggle through an open vent. What I haven't yet managed to work out is how people are then attaching (and...

    New HeaterMeter "not communicating"

    So I've not had a chance to resolder the connectors yet as I need to go back to see my friend who has the soldering iron... However I've just set mine up standalone, without the Raspberry Pi, to try it out and I've noticed another problem. When I connect it to a hot pit, it reads the...

    New HeaterMeter "not communicating"

    Not really - they look identical to me, but so does the one on the working board. Will try resoldering the socket and connector. Thanks both.

    New HeaterMeter "not communicating"

    Hi, Myself and a friend built HeaterMeters the other night. As far as I'm aware we both did the exact same thing - except his works and mine doesn't! It works independently - the screen reads the pit temp and the blower comes on, it's just the network side of thing that's not behaving. When I...
