    Doing burn-in and PID test of my new 22.5 WSM. Using the Alum-a-Damper, but settings would be the same for the Adapt-a-Damper. Here are the settings. Standard 50mm Delta Fan with MG90S Servo. bigbeggbbq.servebeer.com 1st 2 hours was trying to adjust fan settings with stock PIDs to stabilize...

    I'm starting this thread, because there seems to be so many smokers people are using, with so many combinations of fan, damper, or fan/damper setups, that hopefully this can be a good reference for common smokers and setups people are using with successful results in temperature control. The...

    Another Use for the Heatermeter

    Yep. My next spend. Already been sourcing for a whole house softening system.

    Another Use for the Heatermeter

    Water tastes OK, but quite horrible for scale build-up on faucets, sinks, toilets, and such. I had to replace 2 faucets this year they got so bad. If I were to distill for drinking water or brewing, I would definitely re-introduce some minerals.

    Not bad, as long as I don't let it sit. We have pretty crappy very hard water here in SW Montana.

    Another Use for the Heatermeter

    Just using it here to tell when I need to turn my chiller on. Boiling water is boiling water so not using the HM to control it. If I make my own "Fuel", I'll use it to control temp with a SS Relay. I bought the Still from Mile High Distilling. It's actually already paid for itself on money I've...

    Servo and Fan Replacement

    If looking for a quality MG90S servo, the one sold by Vorpal Robotics is very good. I've had no issues with them, and they are actually made by TowerPro for Vorpal, and probably have a bit more quality control than others...

    Another Use for the Heatermeter

    In actuality, I'm just distilling water in that pic. I home anodize aluminum, and it requires a lot of clean distilled water, and got tired of having to buy it.

    Bigger fan options when moving to a bigger smoker?

    Yeah, I have designed a 15 CFM Fan/Damper. It's in Thingiverse at ... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1272011 Someone here also designed a 38 CFM Fan/Damper and it as well is on Thingiverse ... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3546395

    Same Adapt-a-Damper. I just now designed a new adapter piece, though, that's a bit longer with a set screw to attach better to the Guru interface to prevent it from falling off. I'm sending you one, ChrisB, once I get it printed out.

    Bigger fan options when moving to a bigger smoker?

    Yeah, the BBQ Guru fans will work, but you'll need some sort of adapter to go from RJ45 to the plugs they use. Fan Splitter looks like a power adapter in parallel so should work. For my Gravity Feed, I use a 15 CFM fan, and it's plenty (it usually runs around 10% max when up to temp). Also, you...

    Very nice graph! Is that the new Adapt-a-Damper?

    *Newbie* Damper Question

    The RD3 is probably the most universal Fan/Damper combo used here on the forum. Alot of people with Kamado style smokers are using the MicroDamper with great results. If I were to lean towards an all purpose unit, I would suggest either the RD3 or the Adapt-a-Damper. There are some older units...

    Test servo throw

    I built the mini version of that smoker, and my plans for this summer is to build it's bigger brother, as you have. Had plans to do the same thing you have done with integrating the HM. Looks like you beat me to it. Great looking Smoker!!

    Heatermeter 4.2 4-way button

    I have about 100 of them. Shoot me a message.

    1" adapter needed for RD3 and Microdamper - I didn't pay close enough attention.

    What are the measurements of the square opening? I could whip up and print an adapter to fit pretty quickly for you.
