Thanks guys. Seems like 123D will do the job perfectly if I want to graphically draw something out and OpenSCAD if I know already what I want it to look like. I like that 123 has an iPad app as well.
I am hoping to have my Ord Bot completed here in the next couple of weeks. I gotta tell...
I know there are probably a thousand answers to this question but what cad program are you guys using to draw your parts up in? I have used sketchup to draw up all of my woodworking projects but was curious what you guys are using and how are you converting to stl files?
Hi Chris,
That is the one I ordered. It had a sticker on the bottom with the correct part number but it was only 13.5" in outside diameter. Not sure who put the wrong part number sticker on it but I was hesitant to order another from Amazon since I figured the odds of just marking one wrong...
After reading about the larger Brinkmann charcoal pan used as a water pan in the 18" WSM I decided to order one from Amazon. The part number was the one listed on the Water Pan modifications page of the virtualweberbullet site. On that site, it states that the pan is sometimes sold under the...
I am searching for something other than KBB for this weekends cook and noticed bags of this in our Base Exchange here at Luke AFB.
It is fairly cheap <$5 for a 9 lb bag. I wanted to see if anyone has used it before and what they thought of it. If people have had good luck with it I will...
I can understand why you are confused. I was going off of very little experience in the last 4 years and trying to figure out how to cook two different meats that had two different temperatures recommended on the cooking tips section of VWB. Butt was recommended to cook at 225-250 and the ribs...
I pulled my 18" 7 year old WSM out of storage a couple of weeks ago since I want to get back into BBQ. Ended up learning about the HeaterMeter and built one this past week. Wanted to do a Pork Butt and a full rack of Spare Ribs. Fairly disappointed with the result but at least it was edible...
It has been quite a while since I have used my WSM 18". I am having some family over this Saturday for some BBQ and a Pork Butt and a rack or two of ribs is on the menu. I am planning on firing the WSM up late friday night and putting in the Pork Butt and setting the Heatermeter at 225 and let...
My Bad. Can't get to the wiki from work. Will take a look tonight and refrain from asking future questions until I get home and search the wiki. I hate wasting peoples time when the info is already there.
I have finished my HM and it looks to be running great with the new V8 flash. Now I just have to solder the RCA jack on my fan and be done with it. Is there a polarity on the blower wiring that I have to worry about. Does the pin on the RCA jack need to be + or - or does it matter. I...
Thanks for posting this. The only thing it is missing is how to wire it up to the HM ;) I thought I had seen a thread a couple of weeks ago that discussed it but can't remember now where it was.
Bryan,
Same issue here with the display as I am running the same hardware (4 line display) as RJ. I reverted back with no issues. Interestingly enough, on the third line, last character on the right was an upsidedown 4. Weird.
I am making an HM for a gift and I am torn between which of the two blowers to get. The Auber is nice in that it is a little less expensive option and has a built it damper that closes off the air when the fan doesn't run but I like the BBQ Guru's system of mounting the fan to the adapter plate...
