I use no-ip's ddns.net service (hostname.ddns.net:8080 for my setup). There's no way to get a hold of that pkg again? Not liking the sound of a lack of GUI config for that, though clearly this isn't Bryan's fault that it's gone missing. I managed to find a replacement directory at...

Hey Bryan, I noticed that my dynamic DNS module/add-on disappeared after updating my software with the link/guide you provided. Upon trying to update the packages list, I get the following error: Downloading...

They should pop right in with just a little bit of effort, nothing crazy. The tabs def shouldn't smash. Are you sure you got the right size? I believe the 18" model uses 1/2" plugs and the 22" model uses 3/4" plugs.

Agreed, boil your water ahead of time. It makes a huge difference in startup time, not to mention even if the air in the smoker reaches the desired temp, if the water isn't boiling then it's still taking on heat. I typically dump the water in shortly before I put the meat on --- just pour...

I refill mine by starting a chimney with however much I need, and waiting until the smoke goes away and I'm burning clean (doesnt even have to have white tips). THen, once that's ready, I remove the entire middle+upper assembly off carefully, and proceed to dump the new coals in and knock off as...

Do either of those adapters have an external antenna? If not, it might help to get one. After stumbling through 2-3 adapters and failing to get the HM to recognize them (despite a supported chipset), I landed on this little guy, and it performed pretty well at my last place I lived, and that...

Regarding the zinc --- mine are def zinc plated and no issues. If it concerns you, just toss them in your next charcoal chimney you build for a cook, and let em sit there for a while. That'll easily strip or burn off any potentially dangerous material. I personally didn't do that, and have...

WiFi is super finnicky on the HeaterMeter, in terms of finding the right config and hardware setup. I went through 4 adapters before settling on one. Anyway, it still struggles to work on occasion when I'm changing out configs, namely if I'm switching between AP and Client mode. The big issue...

Sooooo.......I'm guessing you likely discovered that they are in fact NOT compatible with the 18" model? I'm pretty sure I had 1/2" plugs when i had the 18. Regardless, they're pretty dang cheap anyway.

I refuse to put any brisket under 15lbs on mine now, just out of principle.

Ribs are the reason I sold my 18 and got a 22. Gotta cut those things in half for a 14.5, I imagine.

So in other words, take your existing 14.5" WSM and place a Jack Daniels sticker on it. That one's free, I'll charge for the next. Also, nice to see in typical Weber fashion, that they included a flat door for the oh-so-flat 360 degree circular smoker body. (Transparency: 22.5" owner with Cajun...

If it makes you feel better, get some heat shrink tubing and slip a section over the area where the probe and cord meet, then toss all but the plug-end in a 300F oven for about 10mins. It should be nicely sealed at that point. You may have to re-do this on occasion since the heatshrink gets...

Yeah man, it's unfortunate that you just now picked it back up. Had you dropped in during summer or Fall, you could've easily scored one in a relatively short time. John Bostwick was doing some great work setting folks up with HM's, but I believe he just had a kid recently and is now swimming in...

That may be so for you personally, but there are countless stories of Maverick probes failing, and the common theme is that they are highly susceptible to permanent damage by even small amounts of moisture, if it gets between the probe and the braided wire. Heck, my 732's short grate probe was...

Also worth mentioning that if you already run a webserver of some sort, that you can just tell the router to forward requests from say, port 8080, to port 80 of whatever box you're going for. So, I have a Subsonic media server on port 80, and I run my HeaterMeter through port 8080 externally...

Oh wow. Well, that may be true, but there's been countless opportunities since March to get one. Sounds like he may have gotten busy and is now revisiting it.

It's hard to tell the "tone" of a text post, but it sounds like you might be in a hurry. A couple pointers: 1. Slow down. I know you're excited, but realize this is a DIY project, and any availability of pre-assembled boards is simply a bonus/extra. Furthermore, you're going to need to plan...

Less than 20 bucks and an hour of work (should've been less, but it was 15F outside), and I've managed to put together a smaller charcoal ring for my 22.5" model. This will serve well for smaller, shorter cooks like ribs where I don't need to put a whole bag in. Stock dimensions of the 18"...

Not at all, in fact the 22.5" model typically is even easier to fit the cover on when using a hinge, compared to the 18.5" model. The factory cover should have no issues. Sure, it has to stretch a tad, but the elastic shouldn't be "maxed" out and you shouldn't have to use an excessive amount of...
