Right now, while folks are working hard on the 4.1 board; it is not ready for prime time. Also, since the 4.1 board is not finalized, there is no 3D printed box for it. More importantly, what type of smoker are you using and what are you cooking. Most folks who use BGEs (Big Green Eggs) or WSMs...

Hi Ray, Welcome, The DigiQ WiFi and Stoker are both fine products and there are diehard proponents for each. However, this forum is devoted to building your own ATC from a free and open design developed on this forum called the HeaterMeter. The folks in this forum are biased to believe that the...

I would think that a standard full chuck roast would work. Doesn't Costco have those? -- Mache

I would suggest you try one or both of the following. 1. Calibrate the portable probes with boiling water to see if they tell the truth or if they are off, by how much. 2. Get an inexpensive mercury oven thermometer to check against the probes. Either or both approaches should narrow down...

I want to find a way to mount my HM to my 18" WSM. I was only able to find a 2' ET-72/73 pit probe (the food probes are 6') and had to place a small table next to my WSM for my first HM cook. Given the two screw head mounting slots on the back of the HM case, I was wondering if anyone has...

Thanks for the comments Alan. On my old BBQ Guru Competitor I have gone as long as 25 hours on a full ring of Kingsford Original briquettes. For this cook, I used a full ring of Kingsford Original briquettes and started it off with the Minion Method using between 15 and 20 lit coals. Two out...

First brisket smoke on HeaterMeter w/ WSM 18.5 First brisket smoke with my HeaterMeter. A 10.5 pound packer that took 20 hours to pass the fork test in the flat. When it was done, the point was OK but the flat was dry. It was labeled choice but I think it was more toward select. Oh well, I'll...

Its a 10 pound packer that I will run at 225 degrees F. I am assuming it will take fourteen to fifteen hours. -- Mache

I am getting ready to do my first smoke (10lb brisket) with my newly built HeaterMeter. This unit is replacing an old BBQ Guru Competitor. I have a very early 18" WSM and will be using my BBQ Guru Pit Viper (10 CFM) fan assembly and WSM adapter. What setting do folks recommend for the maximum...

After the brisket rests for 30-45 minutes, I would separating the flat from the point, remove all the fat, slice up the entire brisket, and let it cool in a disposable foil pan with all the juices. Once cooled, seal up the pan with foil and then refrigerate. To reheat, I would place the foiled...

I managed to delete it and reinstall. All is working properly now. Must have had a corrupted initial install. -- Mache

I just finished and buttoned up the case. Everything seems to be running fine with the minor problem where the ambient temperature seems to be a tad high. I can adjust that in the configuration. It looks great. Anxious to try it out. -- Mache

I checked the version and its 1.2 not 1.3. Play Store does not believe it needs to be upgraded. I tried to delete it and the deletion process just hangs. I will now try to root the phone so I can use the nuclear option t0 get rid of it. -- Mache

I am having problems getting the dash and graph data to load on PitDroid. I am using the app on my Android ICS Thunderbolt logged into the local LAN. My HM4 is also logged into the local LAN and always gets the same IP address from DHCP. The web page is fully accessible to my laptop and I can...

Thanks, -- Mache

I want to use PitDroid on my phone when I am away from the LAN and on the Internet. For that I need to forward incoming TCP ports(s) from my router to the Heatermeter. What network ports does PitDroid use to query the Heatermeter? -- Mache

I will try to drop by with my family. -- Mache

The ports being used by the two version of the Arduino software are different (lpt1 and COM5). Do I have a port problem and if so, how do I fix it? -- Mache
