You are absolutely correct. I toyed with solutions to this previously, but every one suffered from the same flaw. Any attempt to change the valve opening results in a loss of cross sectional area for an equally sized valve. The amount is small, but in my view, I want to do everything possible to...

You just adjust the servo limits. The only downside to this design is that you cut the valve resolution in half.

Thanks guys

The barrel damper was designed around the original 6cm blower. The offset and inline dampers use the 5cm blower.

Ralph, this will be my last post regarding this matter because it is now clear to me that you are not able to reason past what your mind believes is true, no matter how contrary to reality that may be. Plus, I've spent far too much time on this already. I will try to sum up in a couple of...

Ralph, this is why people don't like you. You really need to get over yourself. You didn't invent rotary valves. You were probably the first person to implement them for bbq'ing, but you certainly didn't invent them. You own no rights to their use just as Bryan didn't invent the PID controller...

As fun as it has been reading through this thread, I think we should all just step back for second and really look at what we are arguing about. This is not the flux capacitor or something equally spectacular. We're talking about a plastic valve that controls air flow into a smoker. Nothing that...

Hey Alex, the offset is the main one I use. The reason I designed the other version was to attempt to make a completely enclosed system with very little mass for the servo to turn. The drawback is that there are more parts that need to be press fit together which are potential sources of leaks...

Hey all, I've been in the process of building a 250 gallon reverse flow smoker mounted on a trailer. As part of the project, I will be designing a 3D printed fan/servo combo that I will make available to everyone once completed. The part I'm stuck on is what fan to go with. Questions I have that...

Glad it worked out well for you. Heatermeter is an open source project so I'll always keep my designs that way.

Glad you like it. Sorry I couldn't help you out with the printing but I'm glad you found someone that could. Happy bbq'ing.

MCSarge, I designed my own printer using aluminum extrusions from misumi. The aluminum tubing is from onlinemetals.com

Hello everyone, I've been away from the forums for quite some time and haven't 3D printed anything in a while. I have had many requests for the files for the inline damper and apologize that I haven't put them up. To be honest, I thought I put them up a while ago but guess that I forgot. I...

Just make sure you add a good circulator.

If you want the perfect medium rare, check out a sous vide circulator like Anova.

Should be ok but can't say for sure.

Did you read the part that each probe actually has two sensors? The electronics are stored in the tip of the probe where the meat temp is read and are protected from the high ambient temp of the smoker or grill. Simultaneously, the end of the probe reads the ambient or smoker temp and is rated...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1977846026/meater-the-first-truly-wireless-smart-meat-thermom?ref=project_link Bryan, any chance of hacking this someday to make a smaller HM that gets its temp readings from this and then just controls a servo/fan?

Nice looking corexy Bryan. When I built mine I went through Bowden hell until I found the Bondtech extruder. Look it up, by far the most innovative extruder I've ever seen and works like a charm. It is nearly impossible to make it slip.
