    Heatermeter Stand

    here is another vote for the hanging idea. I have a uds that has side tables atached to it. I would love to be able to hang the heater meter under the table. that would keep all the cables out of the way ans also provide some protection from the rain that always seems to happen during my cooks.

    Bad servo, bad pouwer suppply, or something I did?

    Thanks for the response guys. Ralph I think you probably hit the nail on the head, with the power supply not being up to par! I was thinking that the PS was but wanted to run it through you guys first. Regardless if it is or not I need to get one with a longer cord. I didn't' want to order a...

    First, let me thank Bryan for dreaming up the HM and Tom Kole for the case and off-set valves. Also to all those who have put time an effort into this project. it is awesome. I have been following for years, but do to time, money and self doubt, have not built one until now. I had so much...
