    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    almost 3 Aluminum Adapt-a-Dampers complete. All this CNC stuff gets me thinking of creating an all weather enclosure that can snuggle nicely in the cubby I have in my smoker. Thinking all metal, but was worried about WiFi with a Pi Zero W. Turns out, the Pi Zero W has a spot to solder a small...

    Pit temp won't change - always says 55F

    Try shouting at it. That works for me occasionally.

    Overnight Brisket on the Gravity Feed. Just fired up the smoker. 15CFM fan only, no damper. http://bigbeggbbq.servebeer.com/luci [/IMG]

    How to calibrate the different types of probes?

    Don't know the brand off hand. It's not cheap, but one tin will do thousands of probes. I do not fill with ceramic filler, but occasionally will wrap a small piece of Kapton around the welded end to prevent shorting to the wire braid (Isolated).

    How to calibrate the different types of probes?

    Another option is the route I took. I make my own thermocouples. Easy to do. I get tube ends from alliexpress ($16/100) along with k-type braided wire and plugs. Costs around $4 a thermocouple when complete. Just have to have a way to arc the wires together, a battery will work, but I found a...

    How to calibrate the different types of probes?

    Maybe cover the pit probe end with Kapton tape? This would be easily replaceable.

    Which Raspberry Pi of these two should I get?

    Why not the pi Zero W? Works great for me.

    Why mess with fans?

    Running damper only is fine for an efficient smoker (Kamado style) like your Primo, but with un-insulated smokers like most people have, there needs to be a fan for better control, as they tend to lose heat MUCH faster. I've tried using "damper only" on my 18" and 22" WSMs, and there's no way it...

    I did the same.

    Battery-Operated HeaterMeter Finished!

    There are two versions. 4.2 and 4.3. Don't need to use the cross braces. The ends work fine by themselves.

    Friction fit unless you print the threaded version.

    The Adapt-a-Damper - Open Source Project

    Yeah, the above files are correct. As far as the MG90D, it is digital, and I have had some issues running digital servos with the HM. I can send you an MG90S if you would like one. I get them directly from Tower Pro, so they are definitely genuine. You should have no issues running the stock...

    Pulse Mode vs Voltage Mode. Can someone break it down for me?

    Pulse Mode, or Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) runs your fan at 12V, but at a certain duty cycle (%on/off) so the fan sees a perceived voltage. Voltage mode is the way to go. Not sure where the notion that Voltage Mode will not work on the 4.3 version. There's really no difference between 4.2 and...
