If you're shooting for 225 F I would think 30 percent fan would be more than enough. That might even be too much if you have the other vents open a bit (a bit being 1/4 open). Alan

I would check out this post by Darren who also has a 18.5 WSM. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?42779-Post-your-HeaterMeter-graphs&p=471508&viewfull=1#post471508 and maybe back a page or so also. Based on his graph I wouldn't go much more than 30 to 35 percent on the fan. You may also want...

Bryan. Does the picture showing the wiring on the servo page need to be updated (or perhaps label them V8 and low and V9 and higher)? https://github.com/CapnBry/HeaterMeter/wiki/Servo-Mode

John : Do you have any model or brand information on the fan?

If you do use it as a backup, when you go to use it you will have to do some re-configuration, as the system sets up to a specific MAC address.

Mouser has resistance temperature probes listed that go up to 1000 F. Not sure if they would be compatible or not. http://www.mouser.com/Sensors/Temperature-Sensors/Industrial-Temperature-Sensors/_/N-7gz8d?P=1z0jo0g http://sensing.honeywell.com/index.php?ci_id=50012

There's a little information in this thread: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?41632-Thermocouples Not sure if the "Big Poppa" probes are just the high temp Mavericks or not, which is why I also posted the pelletsmoking.com link where the vendor talks about them. Bryan also mentions the high...

Thanks. I was wondering if that wasn't a problem. I posted my last cook on my Char Grill Kamado in the HeaterMeter graphs thread. I used the Auber fan, which is a similar setup to yours, except there's a little gravity damper on the discharge of the fan. The damper isn't perfect, but it...

Did this one last weekend. Brisket, probably around 12#'s, overnight cook. Cooked on a Char Griller Kamado for around 15 hours. Top vent was only opened to the 0.75 mark. Wish I could open the top vent more, but the temps are tough to control when the vents opened much. Used a stock...

Ralph: That adapter looks good. I was wondering if you've done any cooks with it and how it's held (temperature)?

Thanks. Started the cooked last night and finished up this afternoon after around 15 hours (brisket). There's still some oscillation, but the stock PID values seem to work just about as well as anything. Actually I cut the P from 3 to 2 so that the derivative wasn't overpowered by the...

For version 8 what are the default PID parameters? I've been playing around with my settings trying to get rid of some oscillation (without much luck), and would like to go back to the default settings (which I don't have written down). Thanks.

While looking for some information on the ET732 probes I came across these probes listed here which are supposed to be rated for 712 F. http://www.pelletsmoking.com/pellet-smoking-com-lounge-9/super-probe-here-712-degrees-guaranteed-968/...

So are the ET732 probes thermocouples or thermistors? I was thinking that around 300 F was the upper range for thermistors, and would thinking that a thermocouple would work better for BBQ temperatures; but it appears they are thermistors. Also, I have a number of probes that don't work...

What, no fatties? :0

If the PID is tuned properly it will actually start throttling things back before it gets to setpoint. It shouldn't run at 100 percent until it hits setpoint if it's working properly. The other thing that people do (including myself) is limit how fast the fan will go. With my Char Griller...

You don't want to do this. You will get significant over shoot. What kind of grill / bbq do you have? If you start out with the blower at 100 percent, you are going to be moving a LOT of air. It takes a lot of energy (wood/coals burning) to heat that much air to 300 F (or whatever...

OK. Thanks. I was thinking that maybe it was the way my IE was configured. I have Chrome and Firefox already on my PC so I can use them when needed.

I'm have problems getting the "PID Internals display" to toggle on with IE10. It does work with Chrome and Firefox. Does this work for IE10 for anybody else?

I'm needing to purchase an adapter and noticed on Amazon that they have a EW-7811UnR2, which I'm guessing is a Rev. 2 version of the EW-7811Un. ??? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFRKUJ8/?tag=TVWB-20 Any downside (compatibility issues) with purchasing this versus a EW-7811Un? Edit...
