Jeff, You can have a look at mine. It is running so that when the damper opens more than 40% the fan kicks in proportionally to the damper. I've been making / testing some tweaks so it should be on for a while http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56788

Sure. When Bryan started the project, it was fan-only. A little while later, I believe it was Ralph Trimble who started down the dark path, some folks started thinking about controlling the intake air with a servo-controlled damper for a slightly more "natural" airflow. Just having the...

If you want to go the super-easy route, get a BBQ Guru adapter and Pit Viper (on sale now) for your grill here: https://bbqguru.com/storenav?CategoryId=2 You are probably going to want to get into the fan / damper game at some point and most of the *Damper projects on here have variants that...

Hi All, A couple of weeks ago I was doing a normal cook. Thermocouple and one probe in the first jack. About two hours in the thermocouple went berzerk. The temperatures were jumping around like crazy, +/- 200 degrees. To compensate, I put the meat probe that was in jack 1 into jack 2...

Happy Fathers Day! 7 lbs. of beef ribs in the smoke. http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789

What do your fan and servo settings look like?

Akorn Settings Steve, What have you landed on with your PID and Fan / Servo settings for your Akorn? I'm giving the MicroDamper its first run tomorrow with a brisket. Phillip

After a *very* rough start (thermocouple died on startup, wasn't paying attention, 400+ degrees) things got sorted out. http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789

Brisket on! http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789

While the main HeaterMeter was doing its thing outside, I was using the secondary inside to test some probes that I felt a bit off. (They were.) Had a nice rolling boil in a pot and a stray dot of water managed to hit the HM. I saw a small plume of smoke leave the HM in that familiar...

Darren, Pit Meter is still the first app on my screen and I continue to love it. If you are thinking about doing some updating, the ability to access multiple devices would be awesome. On some occasions, I have multiple HM's going and it would be helpful to be able to see them all through Pit...

11 lb brisket and 9 lb pork butt in the fauxmodo. RotoDamper V2 keeping things even-keeled. http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789

Wow. I just realized just how much cash I have spent on building my three. Still worth it.

Congratulations John! Although, you might not have as much time for BBQ for a bit.

Bryan, Is Heatermeter Live still a thing or has it been mothballed?

10lb brisket in the Akorn. Huge overshoot on the startup. Roto-damper making its third run after replacing a seriously twitchy servo. http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789 All done. Still getting to know the redhead fauxmodo and the rotodamper. But, it sure smells great. Now both the brisket...

There is nothing wrong with a kettle and this website probably wouldn't be here without them.

That is pretty great. Thanks for sharing!

Two more 4.2.4s are in action.

Wayne, I came to the conclusion I would have to drill a hole in the bottom of the WSM and put in a bushing: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-3-4-in-x-1-2-in-Black-Malleable-Iron-Hex-Bushing-521-943HN/100122624?N=5yc1vZbqn5Z1z0ugnd That way, you could put on a threaded end on the blower...
