As we continue to do things like insulate our smokers/pits, add heat holding mass (fire bricks, clay saucers, heavy plate steel), or when we raise/lower pit temps where overshoot/ undershoot can occur, the need becomes greater to have the fan "Bellow" to keep the fire alive as the temps settled...
Bill,
If you have some time I would like to talk with you about what worked and what didn't. I have talked with some else that tested a unit for Rock. We can do this be email.
Thanks,
Billy
Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer some of your questions.
Sorry you don't agree with much about the posted cooking methods.
This thread is for discussions of Stokerlog and the post was in reply to Amir's responses to a feature request I made. The cook log was provided as an example of...
No, it has a time based system that changes the target temp but not based on current food temp. What would be the application of having it work this way? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Take for example the all forgiven pork butt. The theory is keep the pit temp as low as possible for as long as possible...
I may have missed it... Stoker on order...
but can the Stoker be controlled to ramp up the pit temp during the cook cycle, say..
pit 180 until food is 140,
pit to 200, until food is 180,
pit to 225, until food is 200,
pit to 205, food done @ 200.
Thanks Amir.
To control a pellet grill the Stoker would have to:
1) At start up run an igniter for 4 minutes. This would have to be done by a relay as it is 120vAC. Also if the pit temp drops below say 140º (flame out) then the igniter would also have to run again.
2) Control the stock fan...
Would like to hook up the Stoker to a pellet grill. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Rock does not support the Stoker connected to a pellet grill, though he has installed and they do work on pellet grills. Amir if you could chime in that will be great.
Thanks in advance for any...
