Looks great! Can you share your PID settings?

Thanks to you both. I'll give 'er another go this weekend. My test this past weekend was foodless so I did not put the plate setter (indirect deflector) in, but everything you said makes perfect sense and I should have. I will also start with just a few burning coals and see how it goes. Thanks...

Thanks Bryan. I have a LBGE too, and what I found tough about tuning was the fact that the response of all the ceramic mass lags significantly behind the action taken with the fan - sometimes by 5-10 minutes. Out of the 3 numbers that I can tweak, which would you say will affect this more? For...

No, I didn't really read enough about "on at max only" until after I had spent some time tweaking the PID settings. In other words, I figured out that people were using that checkbox a little too late for this test. I will definitely do so -- probably next weekend, but I would still like to know...

Ralph, I have a BGE, but if the Vision B is also known as a Classic, BBQ Guru makes this adapter and claims it fits. I have it and can measure it for you. Probably not good enough for your purposes but as a last resort it might work. Edit: In case it is helpful, it is 84mm wide x 71 mm tall...

I did a long test run (16 hours) on my Heatermeter (thanks again Bryan) with a case (thanks again Tom) with a Rotodamper (thanks again Ralph - does anyone see a trend here?). I have a large BGE. I was using the PID Debug screen to try and dial in my PID settings and I think I made progress, but...

Thanks so much Ralph. Still new at this but proud of myself that I was able to build this thing. The most I have ever done before this was to replace a blown capacitor. I honestly sat there in shock for a full minute when I plugged it in and it said "no pit probe"! Couldn't believe it actually...

Much appreciated!

Please forgive the newbie question, but I built a HeaterMeter yesterday and the thing is amazing. The only thing I have left to do is hook up the fan and I can't find any info in the build instructions about how to attach the fan. I have the recommended fan from Bryan's bill of materials. I...

I just found this thread. This thing looks great. Just finished my HM build yesterday and am amazed at the work that has gone into HM so far. So a huge thank you to Bryan for HM, Tom for printing me a case and everyone else for contributing designs and ideas. Today I am looking into mounting...

I just ordered 3 from OSHPark. I will definitely have 1 extra and maybe 2 if I don't screw the first one up. I will post here when I get them. I will PM guys going down the list in order to see if you are still interested. In case anyone hasn't ordered because you think it'll be difficult, it...

John, Thanks for the heads up on this. I picked up 2 right around the corner form my house last weekend! Ordered my HM parts this week. Still need to get the HM 4.1 board.

Kelly, I am also interested if you still have a spare. I'd appreciate a PM. Thanks!
