    HM 4.3 With Oscillating Thermocouple Temperatures Over a 30F Range

    Thanks Bryan, for now just running Ethernet so WiFi should not be an issue, but I will check. I did unravel the thermocouple from its factory delivered cable tied loop and the range of the temperature oscillation has halved from 30F to 15F so I am on to something. Will study Probe Noise thread...

    HM 4.3 With Oscillating Thermocouple Temperatures Over a 30F Range

    Just assembled my HeaterMeter 4.3 and I have a problem with wildly changing (about a 30F range) Probe 0 (Pit) thermocouple temperatures. The Maverick thermistor I have on Probe 1 seems to operate just fine. I have an Auber 1 x K Type Thermocouple w/ alligator clip, Smoker, High Precision...

    Off Topic - Build Mod for HM

    One additional question, will the smoker sustain a low temperature of between 150-160F? If I build it, I would like to use it as a holding oven after the meat is finished cooking.

    Off Topic - Build Mod for HM

    I have a question about the level of smoke being generated by this, or any, gravity feed smoker. Given that smoke wood chunks are typically placed on the ash pan, under the fire box grate, to be lit by live embers that drop from the grate, how well does the smoke from these wood chunks flavor...

    Andy's started business in Campbell, CA in 1965 and seems to have been at its current location for decades.

    WSM 22.5 PID Settings

    One thing to consider by not using an automatic damper is a runaway fire. When I used just the blower on my 18" WSM I often found the fire got too hot (usually after taking the lid off and spritzing or by taking the door off to adjust the fire) and was pulling air in via convection from the...

    Best way to hold and reheat a brisket

    If you want to hold a brisket after finishing it on the smoker, it will hold 12 hours or more in an oven at 150-165F. I wrap my briskets with 40 lb unwaxed butcher paper for the second half of cooking and once done and after bleeding off the carry over heat for 1-2 hours I hold them in a...
