    Anyone soldered ribbon cables with big T-tip on soldering iron?

    If you have a Frys near by get a cheap hot air gun for use on shrink wrap and then just use that to heat the glue

    Technically, it's not finished yet, lol. I still need to paint the bottom legs, but I need to get the expanded metal and weld it in then I can finish the painting. John

    It's a small world. I lived in Elgin, until 2015. Lived off of big timber and combs rd. I finally was able to move back to Washington st. After trying to get out of Illinois for 16 years.

    The only regret, is not making the recessed area bigger. It's a tight fit, as I did not account for the probes and TC connection.

    You will love it. If you do make the big one, read up on some of the changes that it needs to make it more user friendly. Like for instance, a removable charcoal grate. I am thinking of cutting mine out and making it removable.

    I thought about doing that, but I didn't like the look of it.

    Yeah, it's not sealing when the slam latch closes. I added more gasket material and have been thinking about getting a thicker gasket. But, I think I'm also happy with the added latch on the door as is, so I'll probably just leave it.

    LCD display issue

    It could be any number of issues. Check your connections on LCD, make sure you don't have any solder bridges connecting pins together. Check the shift register for the same. Post some close up pictures of the top and bottom of both boards.

    When I was welding mine, I turn off all the lights and put a super bright light inside. Any pin holes were easy to find.

    Using the Guru Pit Viper 10 with HM 4.3

    If I'm correct, you and I had been talking on Tapatalk. I have not been able to text you back on there, when I try it just hangs and I have to close the app down. Anyways, you came to the right place together your question answered. If I had the blower in front of me, I could make an adapter...

    Feature Request: slow descend

    Regardless how much charcoal is started without the HM attached, the idea is just get a stable temperature without having the blower or anything attached to the inlet so that air can enter the smoker unaided. Once the temp is stable to where ever it may be, add the HM and then add 20 or so...

    Feature Request: slow descend

    Before you used the HM, how did your smoker behave? Did it keep a somewhat stable temperature?. Use a chimney starter at about half full or so and get it up to smoking temps without the HM attached, regardless of temperature, just get a stable temperature. Once stable, attach the HM and...

    Wireless Probes

    You can do wireless probes on the Heatermeter. A older version of the Heatermeter has a spot for a wifi board. You had to solder the board onto the Heatermeter and have another board soldered on the probe side of setup. It needed to have a battery of some sorts on the probe. I still have...
