There could be a reason to measure the dome temperature, but I don't know what it is... -Alan

I'm going to have to start monitoring my dome temperature. Larry, do you have something under the meat to block direct exposure to your fire? It could be that your dome temperature is hotter because of hot air going around the meat (missing it) and hitting the probe. My guess is that the...

I also cook on a ceramic but don't monitor the dome temperature (but have the sensors to do so, so perhaps I'll start). My guess as to why the grate temperature is a lot higher than the dome temperature has to do with the temperature of the meat. The meat is acting like a heat sink and cooling...

Version 0.0.3 or the master version?

Version 0.0.3 is available as a zip file. Now we need to figure this out.

It is very cool. I've reached out to this guy before to see if he is sharing this app or needs beta testers and he said that it is still in the development stage.

I've never had that happen to me. Check to see if it lost the calibration somehow. Perhaps there was a momentary loss of power that reset it? (I know, reaching...)

Yes, if you have an existing Wireless N network to connect to. If you don't have a Wireless N network you would need 2 of these. 1 connected to your network and the other connected to the stoker. Do you currently have a wireless network setup? If so, post whether it is an 802.11B, 802.11G or...

I don't use Vista but you should be able to find out your computer's IP address by the following... You can hold down shift and right-click and you will get the option to "Open Command Window Here." This will open a Command Prompt that is queued to your current directory. Once there type in...

Yeah, you guys haven't had much of a summer this year. What is on the menu for next week? Pork Butt?

You don't list your altitude. Take a look here:Boiling Points.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong product on their site, but it looks like this guy in Houston is asking more $ than what a new one costs (I'm sure I'm missing something here)...

Each probe has a calibration setting that will adjust it. In my opinion 3 degrees is "good enough" but there are people that place the probes in boiling water (just the tip of the probe), calculate what temperature water boils at for their elevation above sea level and adjust the calibration...

I noticed John updated the Stoker site and it includes instructions how to do this too.

Congrats! Can you post whether you would recommend the web interface first and then Amir's app or just diving in? Btw, you can save cooking profiles with Amir's app which is very cool too!

I just noticed that Rock updated his website. He promotes Amir's application and provides a link where it can be downloaded.

The Stoker site states the probes are good up to 450 degrees F. It is my understanding that where you can run into trouble is at the end of your cook. Your food is done, you remove the food from the smoker and don't place the lid back on the smoker. With the lid off you add air to the fire...

I don't think there are any issues associated with using a wireless bridge in the cold. A few people have reported that their probes lose connection in extreme cold. People deal with this by putting the Stoker in a foam ice chest with blankets and/or hot water bottle. Seeing as you are in NE...

m low, I'm not familiar with Apple stuff (other than the iPhone) but will try and answer your questions. The Stoker can be run directly from the Stoker interface so you don't need any network connection to get started. Once you connect your Stoker to your network you can access the Stoker's...

I have never had any issues with my Stoker or the service and support that John provides. As a matter of fact I just got off the phone with him (he answered right away on the first attempt). I understand that it has taken some time to receive product for some people but I believe it has more...
