About two years ago, that was :B=4, p=3, i=0.005, d=5 Where do you keep your top vent?

Ralph, Thanks for all of your work and advice on the Roto-Damper and the Fauxmodo. For the benefit of the class, what were your settings like in this test? BPID? Fan Min/Max? Looking forward to firing up the redhead tonight with its new roto-damper.

I did an airburner through the vent holes of my WSM 22.5". Had a real interesting time figuring out a de-mountable solution and was never happy with it. If I were to do it again, I would drill a hole through the bottom. See this thread...

Pork spare ribs on WSM 22.5. Servo damper / Fan on max only. http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789

Hi All, Just did two test burn-ins with my new "fauxmodo" (credit to Ralph for that) Akorn using one of my HM 4.2.4 with TC support. The TC amp and components were suppplied on-board from Bryan. I used a Auber K-Type TC and 3 x ThermoWorks TX-1001X ChefAlarm Pro Probes. I experienced...

What did you end up with on your BPID Settings?

Exactly what I was thinking.

It isn't so much about the HM as it is about wanting to see the commercial solutions' performance. Again, I am dubious that a Party-Q type solution can hold steadier temps than a HM and I haven't seen anyone support their commercial units' performance beyond, "I went to bed at X time and woke...

My WSM 22.5's bottom vents have loosened considerably with age. So much so that a stiff breeze can blow them open and shut with little effort. I bought the ten pack to plug up 2 full vents (8 plugs) with the remaining one being covered with a pet food bowl fan adapter. I also have "free" Prime...

But I want ~225.

Does anyone out there in this forum have both a HM and an "auto-tune" system such as the BBQ Gurus, Rocks Stoker, etc? I would really love to see a HM graphing a pit temp-only long-term burn of one of these control units doing their thing. I have been reading how people set their Party-Q (or...

The Home Depot and Lowe's prices are pretty ridiculous for the steel hole plug. You can pick up 10 for $8 at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00MN6GEC2/tvwb-20

Nice to see someone else in CT join the club. Looks good!

Tom, You are correct. You need to make sure that your home router is set up to forward the request to your heatermeter.

Discovered the brisket had frozen in the meat fridge, so had to run out and grab a couple of 5# pork butts. Running at 250 today to make up some time. http://phillip.is-a-geek.net:56789 Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5" HM 4.2.4 Running v12 Auber Thermocouple on the Pit Thermoworks Pro series in the...

Apparently I need some new ones too. Following the two recent 4.2.4 TC builds (boards from Bryan, with the TC components already installed) I noticed this behavior. I had purchased 4 thermocouples from Auber and they flop around every second or so within a 1 degree range. I figured this was...

Darren, Steve *was* right. I had re-entered my password a couple of times and it didn't work. I did it again and we are back in business. Is there anyway to add an authentication failure notice to PM? Thanks for the continually awesome app.

So, after getting my two new HM builds fully functional, I have noticed that Pit Meter will no longer change any of the settings or silence the alarms. It will also look at the current graph, but does not show archives nor does it allow to save a new one. Anybody else having this issue?

Brian, Sorry for the delay. The case was spoken for immediately after posting and I have been too preoccupied to post an update. I see that you might have already gotten your hands on one anyways. Enjoy!

I am a royal doofus and left the HM out all night. Surprise thunderstorm hit and wasted it. It wasn't "supposed" to rain until this afternoon. The board itself has some weird scummy film all over it and the RPi seems to be toast. Also lost an original WRT54g V2, but there are a few more where...
