Have a look at this modification. It is pretty easy and extremely effective when doing high heat cooks on the WSM.

That is awesome! That is a beautiful mounting job as well! I have a Stoker but I am considering adding a DigiQ II to my smoker toolkit. The DigiQ II would be simpler when I take the WSM with me on vacation. Nice picture!

I emailed Lee Humphries and asked him where I could find his product in NC... His reply was "we do not currently sell into the North Carolina area" and then went on to repeat the earlier email saying I could order using Paypal and they would ship it. Seems like an opportunity for expanding...

Stoker responds to ping but its web server is not visible in the browser and no firewall in the picture.... I am pretty much out of ideas with the crossover cable config. Sounds like you have everything configured correctly. I have found that sometimes I have to refresh (F5) the browser to get...

Welcome to the group Aaron! When you say you have the laptop configured with a static IP address, are you certain you have configured the Ethernet port for that IP? Many laptops have an Ethernet adapter and a Wireless adapter built-in. Double check the properties for your Ethernet adapter...

Thanks for the report on the shipping Randy. Looks like it arrived in pretty good condition. Glad to see they box it up for shipment anyway. I think I will drop Lee an order for 3 bags myself. I do wish we could get this stuff locally.

What have you tried that isn't working? Occasionally, but not often I have to add a wad or two of paper under the chimney after the initial paper burns out to get it hot enough to get the charcoal going. Edit: Also, check out this link.

I have only a faint idea of the Stoker blower's voltage and current requirements but I haven't done any testing. Retail 20 foot headphone extension cords are probably 26-28 gauge as a baseline guess so I'd probably go with 22-24 gauge. Cat 5 cabling would be my initial choice since it is...

They are not good at returning calls or emails. Your best bet is to call them within a few minutes or two after they open and speak to a human, preferably Jon. Simply call them over and over until you get satisfaction. They are really nice folks and really want to please the customer but...

Painful as the shipping cost is, we can't get it in NC either... I was thinking of ordering 3 bags of the 40 lb lump to try as well... Maybe if there is enough interest, someone could order a pallet and split it up? Randy, let us know how it survives the shipping process. Last thing we need...

Thanks for the info Jim. I was thinking, if I get to the point of moving the Stoker and bridge indoors, I would probably go the route of making a custom cable. I will post the project here if I do.

Jim, did you make your own cable(s) for the Stoker or did you purchase them? Also, do you use one cable for the temp probe(s) and a separate one for the blower? Looks like your setup is ready for hurricane! Nice job.

Ken Brown's excellent Stoker Timers program will send an email displaying all the Stoker temperature probes' readings on a frequency you determine (every x minutes). You will need to provide the email address for your phone's text messaging service. For example, if you have an AT&T cell phone...

I don't know; I don't use an iPhone. LogMeIn works with IE and FireFox (and I presume Safari) but I don't know the limitations on the iPhone web browser... Good question for customer support at LogMeIn. It's free so give it a try and let us know.

Hi Mark and Welcome to the board! To answer the question of whether to go inside with the Stoker, I think it depends on the wire gauge of the probe/blower extension cabling. Headphone extension cords could be problematic. They typically have small gauge wires which may not provide enough...

It isn't hard and you won't need more equipment. It will require configuration changes in your router though. You will need to open a virtual hole in your router so that the Stoker can be accessed from the internet. See this document for Rock's explanation. This will allow you to run the...

I simply click outside of the temp field after making the temp change then click the "Update Stoker" button. Not sure if this is the correct answer, but it works for me!

No. First, I don't use the Stoker on all my cooks. Some just don't warrant the effort to hook it up (such as high heat brisket, ribs). But for long, boring cooks like low and slow butts, it comes in handy. Secondly, I never keep the graphs of the cooks done with StokerLog/Stoker. I kept the...
