    How much 12V power is needed?

    Although I have 2 now, I can say that if you would have had them for sale in the store I would have purchased with the kit. Ryan

    First Run this weekend

    What Bill said, I have also experienced the power supply not meeting its rating and rebooting on me with fan running full voltage.

    Why the long cook time?

    I went for my first long cook this past Friday and did a ~7lb pork butt. I built the heatermeter hoping I could do the 'set it and forget it' thing and enjoy some happy sleep while the smoker is going..After some learning and tweaking it seems like I'm close. I didn't have any alarms over night...

    Heatermeter 4.3 not recognized by pi

    I'm not sure if I'm of much help but when I fired mine up in the same manner I was using a weak, cheap cell phone charger. I noticed I was not getting any back-light on the screen. When I did plug into a wall outlet as opposed to a USB port I got the LED's on the front but no back light. I then...

    Oddly enough I cooked again without any noise.. Maybe I just had a bad connection and needed to re-seat it.

    Noise?

    I see a little red or sometimes yellow squiggly line above my Probe 1 temp and when I hover my mouse over it it says Noise:7 I can't find any info on this on the heater meter display wiki. I'm assuming it has to do with the TC or probe but I'm not sure which, and how to go about correcting it/...

    About to order! Some questions

    So I did a little smoke with a pork loin and tenderloin. This is after I have sealed the top and doors with lavalock gasket. This worked great but seems to have made my problem worse. Due to the design of the charcoal pan I was having trouble keeping heat. I believe the air I am injecting is...

    About to order! Some questions

    Thanks Mike. Perhaps it does leak like a SOB.. What are you seeing that I should give attention to. How hot it began at, or something else? What I did was pile some coals in the basket and then fire up 6-7 coals in a charcoal starter. I then put the ashed over hot coals in the middle of the...
