    Just bought a used Smokey Joe for $15....

    And I spent 5 minutes cleaning it up with a paper towel and some Dawn. Here it is: How did I do? Oh I almost forgot! It came with a free 22 inch version too. I haven't cleaned that one yet, but neither were very dirty ......

    Stoker Black Box wifi drops constantly

    Definitely not a distance issue. Stoker is in the same place as my old white box with wifi bridge was, and it connects just fine every time. Yesterday, I did some more testing, and I may have found something that causes the wifi to drop. I will test it some more, but it appears that...

    Stoker Black Box wifi drops constantly

    Is anyone else having an issue where the wifi connection on the wifi stoker drops, very very frequently? I would say it stays up for 10-15 minutes then drops, never to return unless I power off reset. It comes back on line after powering up, and drops again in 10 minutes. Trying to diagnose...

    Suggestions on a bad smoke

    As said above, do not let the wind stop you. Just open the top vent, and never ever ever ever close it until you are done cooking.

    Suggestions on a bad smoke

    Eric. I have read this twice just to make sure I am understanding. Are you saying you closed the top vent of your WSM COMPLETELY at the start and for most of the cook? I gotta think that's not gonna work...... Open it half way, at least, and try again. IMO, don't bother with wind breaks...

    Black Box; Ad-hoc network

    If I am understanding you, I do not think that is possible. You are essentially asking if you can have a wifi crossover cable. In my estimation , the closest you could get is configuring your laptop as a router, and adding a piece of hardware to it to serve as a bridge. Let me think some...

    Stoker Wi-Fi - Better Than Sliced Bread

    Thanks Dan. I wanted to ensure that you saw the blower mis-assignment only when using stokerlog. Thanks for that confirmation. (This matters to me because I run 3 cookers, without stokerlog, at competitions. So far as I have seen, all the blower assignment issues on the new wifis have...

    New Stoker Blackbox *OUT OF THE BOX ISSUES*

    Jeremiah, I am sure Kevin or John will get back with you ASAP. They have had a busy few weeks and a busy weekend. In the mean time, let me offer a couple pieces of info: 1) The ethernet activity lights do NOT light up on MY black box unit, i think, so that may not be a good test. At...

    Efficiency of the 22.5 versus the 18.5

    I have and use both. I load the the same way typically, that is, a full ring of K blue, with a small amout of lit added for a controlled minion type burn, usually but not always driven and monitored by a stoker. I cook 225 to 250 almost exclusively. I can tell you with certainty, the 22 uses...
