I'm stationed in K-16 Seoul Airbase. Thankfully I got a place with a balcony that I can BBQ in rain or shine :)

Thanks for the input! I just cooked 3 pork butts and like a hundred pieces of chicken thighs for my Soldiers this morning. I wish I took some pictures! I was putting my Kamado Joe, WSM, and Jumbo Joe to task this morning. I am really enjoying the WSM. Holds temp even more stable than my Kamado...

Awesome! Also, I wonder if the holes at the top of the water pan allow some steam to escape as well? It sounds like it will work to try this set up with water. Will definitely try the foil on the drop pan. Thanks!

Good day all! I have tried searching the forums to this question but can't seem to find a hit. Does anyone have experience with putting a drip pan directly over the water pan with the water inside the pan? I'm stationed in Korea and found a stainless steel pan that perfectly fits over the...

This is a reply to an old post but I had the same issue on a recently purchased Jumbo Joe. Sure enough, I took off the edge on the vent and there were parts of the vent where the metal stood out sharper than others causing the scratch. Took a fine sand paper and it is very smooth now. It doesn't...

Bryan and Bob, what PID setting do you guys have these on?

Hi Bryan. Been meaning to thank you earlier for the awesome info. This is exactly what I needed to figure this out. Very practical and informative. I just finished an overnight cook and came out perfect and stayed very tight to the set temperature for most of the cook. I did want to ask you...

Thank you Bryan. I just tried a low grill. 225 set point. I only opened the top vent by a tooth pick width and it seemed to hold the temperature after messing with the on above fan setting to 25%. Attached is my output. Could you tell if its doing good? Thank you. https://imgur.com/a/llwnADB

Need some adapt a damper love here. I got my heater meter up and running but have no clue if the damper is working as it should. When I set the set temperature to a high temp, the damper will close. However, when I am doing a cook and there is a temperature overshoot; say, a 225 set temp that...

Thank you for the info. I am using the adapt a damper using a thermocouple from amazon with a aligator clip. What I am understanding is that for low cooks like 225, the top vent opening is going to be smaller opening compared to say a 350 degree cook. It held 350 with top vent open to the 1st...

I did a cook did other day with set point of 350 and held very tightly with the settings: P:2.5 I: 0.0035 D: 6 Fan on above 25, min 10, max 40, start up 100. Today, I try to do a slow cook with 225 set temp. I climbed to 255 and stayed there consistently. Both the previous cooks and the...

Could anyone with a Joe classic II post their lid open setting? Finally put mine together and set the temp to 225 but it shot up to 240 and the dampers still remained fully open. Trying to understand if that has some role in the overshoot and damper being fully opened. https://imgur.com/yzV81Fz

I thought that would be my last post :) I finally hooked it up to my KJ CLASSIC 2 with thermocouple. Set it to 225 but soon it overshot to 240. The fans stopped at that point but the damper was still open 100% and temp still climbing. Current settings: P:7 I: .0063 D:9 on above 25%, min 5%...

Thanks Bryan. I am fully up and running! Appreciate the help!

Awesome! I tried as you suggested and the fans and dampers work! Now, I have attached a probe (thermistor type) and it is reading the room temp. But it says no pit probe on the screen and when i set the temp to 225, nothing happens. No fan movement. Do I need two probes inserted for this to...

Another update: The only way I can get the fan to run is inverted fan setting. Otherwise, if I put a negative set temp like negative 70, the fan kicks in and the damper closes.

Could you please attach a screen shot of your configuration? I have inverted the servo but not the fan. When I change the set temp to a negative value, the fans and servo kick in but any positive value, it turns off and there is no movement in the fan or damper. When I invert the fan, the fan is...

I am kinda overwhelmed here. I tinned the wires and connected everything. The fan will only turn on when I invert the fan. The damper will only turn on when I start up the heater meter or reboot the AVR in the web configuration. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is it software or...
