Thanks for the reply, Steve. I think I fixed the picture. Sorry for not mentioning this earlier. When I had the HM in auto at the beginning I believe I started at 40% max and tried it down to 20% then 10%. It just seemed to drop the temp slower. You can see after about 17:00 I started...

I'm not sure what to try on my next cook to improve things. It seemed, no matter what PID settings I tried on the HM, the pit temp would just drop any time the blower came on. After a while I just started trying the blower on manual mode to see if I could manually get the pit temp to rise...

Thanks a bunch, guys. I'll give it a shot.

So I've been poking and tweaking the settings in my HM web interface. I was thinking it might be nice to just reset everything to the default settings. Maybe this is a dumb question but how do I do this?

I was able to assemble my HeaterMeter kit yesterday with all the info provided here and the wiki so I want to say thanks to Bryan and everyone else that's share info and experience. My case and blower from Auber should be here later this week so I hope to be able to take it for a maiden voyage...

Thanks for the additional feedback, guys. Being that I haven't actually used the HM yet that info was helpful. I have to agree that the price of the Auber blower setup is a bit steep. I'm hoping with the silicone gasket they offer with it will seal up nicely on the WSM curved vent. I like...

Do the fans have any issues running at very low speeds at all?

The majority of the parts for my HM kit arrived today. Thanks, Bryan. After looking things over I decided I'd like to pick up one of the Auber snap on blowers since it seems like a pretty simple and effective way to attach the blower to my 22" WSM. Based on what I've read so far I assume the...

Thanks for the additional feedback, guys. I ordered everything but a case last night. I went with the thermocouple version and picked up a thermocouple pit probe and a few food probes from ThermoWorks. I'm going to see if I can get a case printed locally.

Thanks for the feedback, Bryan. I think I understand. The Pi model B option for the kit in your store is essentially the LinkMeter hardware. I'll post here again if I have some more questions.

I'm interested in putting together a HeaterMeter but I have a lot of questions so here goes. 1. I assume the kit on the HM store comes with one thermocoupler port and 3 thermistor. Can I get it with 2 thermocoupler and 1 thermistor like Auber sells it? 2. Are the thermistor probes good enough...

Thanks for the additional feedback. I'll take a look at the expandable rack. I was looking at a rib rack too. I am a sucker for toys and gadgets which is why I'm likely to end up with the HeaterMeter. It looks fun to assemble.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I have a ThermaPen and a cheapo probe thermometer from Thermoworks that I use for other cooking but I've been thinking about one of their nicer two probe monitors. Any opinion on the large Weber chimney vs the compact one? I read reviews on Amazon and some...

My 22in WSM should be delivered tomorrow. It's the smoker I originally wanted, and came back to, after considering a pellet machine and reverse cabinet. Hopefully I can break it in this weekend but to do so I was hoping to get some feedback on any must-have or nice-to-have accessories...
