I hadn't yet jumped on the V14 train until today and things went pretty badly. I downloaded the latest appropriate stable release from Heatermeter.com, updated via the UI preserving the config, flashed the AVR, and went off to the races. Everything seemed normal until I wanted to do some...

Thank you for this Bryan. Is there any plan to bake this method into the SysLog?

1 degree Farenheit? Perfect Time for Smoking! It is really cold here, but that doesn't stop Heatermeter! 15 lb packer brisket over lump, hickory and sassafras (new to me.) 10 hours in and looking great.

Just in case anyone ever experiences this themselves, replacing the display was a good start and end to this particular problem.

Hey All, Getting ready the weekend and one of my HM screens has gone bonkers. Any suggestions on how to go about troubleshooting? Thank you

Will the store be back in stock prior to the holidays?

Micro Damper gets its first run in the Akorn.

Beef Ribs A rough start, but overall somewhat smooth on mostly damper-only. 2 Racks of beef plate ribs @ 285 Akorn + RotoDamper Settled in at 6, .003, 11. Fan on above 50% 0% to 100%, 40% Startup Max Fully Open at 100% Full Config: al=250,260,190,200,-160,-193,-160,-193...

Do you have the stock door? It is a leaky, leaky thing.

Ralph, I remember the air burner well. I built one for my kettle when I was still using it as my everyday machine. During the winter, I use the Akorn exclusively because, well, it rocks. I also use it any time I am smoking enough meat to fit into it. When the air gets warmer and the crowds...

You got me there... barbecue in New England is truly a sport. The System Log PID settings are fun to play around with and pretty great when you have stable conditions. However, there is no such thing as stable conditions in NE. I had things dialed in and had gone on to another task when the...

I was about 3 hours into a cook (setpoint of 225) and I had to put the HM into manual fan mode (setpoint of -100) for a bit. It seems as though when I put in my original setpoint (225) the HM was in startup mode. The reason I suspected this was that the blower was back at a percentage of the...

Some special burnt ends on the Akorn. http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789

It looks like you are doing much better today...did you use Dave's settings?

So, it looks like HM wasn't engaged until your WSM was already at 255. This means that your fire was likely too hot to start. Also, if I am judging the location of your thermocouple, the tip is just an inch or two off of the side wall which is a very turbulent place. Try moving your probe onto...

Can you send a picture of your WSM and how the blower is attached? What damper are you using? WBegg mentioned you have a 15CFM blower, is that correct? Are your bottom dampers closed all the way? What about your top damper? (WSM's like to have it open all the way) Going from experience with...

Heatermeter + Rotodamper in Action

Oh yeah, never trust those things. Absolutely horrible.

Yes, overall, pretty good. I had kind of lost my faith a little after my last disastrous cook. About seven hours in, my pit started losing temp rapidly. I go outside to check on it, the damper is wide open, the fan is blowing, but the temps continue to fall. I opened it up and the fire was...

Pre-Blizzard 9 pound brisket on the Akorn with RotoDamper keeping things in check. http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789/ And here is how we ended up: For the most part, things were smooth. The wind kicked up quite a bit today and that was responsible for the bulk of the fluctuations. The...
