I guess you are right: http://www.buy.com/prod/iogear...c/101/205130621.html This should work then

The only firmware on the cyberQ is USB2.0. It does not implement TCP/IP stack. Are you saying there is a device that plugs into a USB port and does Transmit/receive? Then on the the hub end it would receive the USB signals, convert it back to USB?? I have not heard of such a device though I...

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">A couple more questions that I could not find answers to. 1st, are both units readily available, or is one harder to get then the other. 2nd, Does one unit work better than...

Also, here is the info about mounting. On all of my smokers I use Guru mounts with an adapter. Just tell Jon that you are already have a Guru mount on it and the blower assembly should just fit on with the copper coupler: http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/eve/fo...?r=77110795#77110795

The Guru mount actually requires drilling a new hole for a WSM. That said, it looks better than the "dog bowl" assembly but you can easily mount a Stoker on a Guru mount which is what I have done. I actually have both devices and run a KCBS/NEBS team on the contest circuit. We do maybe 8...

I haven't programmed in C since '96 ~ Been doing mostly Java and .NET (C#,VB) since then. I remember blue screening a few NT4 servers in my time. gotta love those pointers ;-} Looks like a cool project though. -rob

We cook our main meats at 250. I try to get 8 pound butts and we do full briskets. (flat and point). Here's the complete process we use in the comps: 5:00pm Trim briskets to 1/4 inch trim, inject with 1/2 quart Butcher's, sprinkle with Slabs.com Wow-up-your-Cow, wrap tightly with saran wrap...

What are you cooking???? Assuming it's pork or brisket: You need to look for TBS or "thin blue smoke" before you add your meat. This can be achieved quickly using high quality lump charcoal such as Wicked Good. Look at the color of smoke and not the temp before you add your meat. The color and...

That makes sense Pat. All you need to do is get another 5CFM and wire it in parallel to the other one, mount it and you're done. It will read as one unit on the stoker. For that matter, you could just get a 5 volt DC fan and come up with your own mounting system and wire it in parallel to save...

Amir, What firmware version is the Stoker running? I know there was issues with the new firmware "breaking" StokerLog so I just want to be sure I'm in synch. -rob

Make sure the fan part is UP. There's a valve in it. Here's a thread that shows how it should be positioned as well as a much better way to mount the blower using a Guru mount and a cheap copper coupler: http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/eve/fo...?r=77110795#77110795 Also - I have the Guru eyelets and...

Ryan, I've never had an issue maintaining 300 degrees with a 5 CFM. Maybe you should try a different fuel source. At the last contest we went too I used Kingford's new Competition charcoal and I had a hard time keeping the temp DOWN. I had to pull the ribs off and put them in the main smoker...

Nice work Bob! Is it Ethernet off the shelf?? What is the software written in? -rob

Are the lights color coated or anything? that is, does a pit probe, look like a blower or a meat probe?? Most interesting though I think adding more electronics to it makes it more prone to failure and less battery life if you are operating it that way. I'd prefer a braided stainless steel...

Ryan, It's written in .NET for Windows. The only way to run it on a Mac is by using a Windows emulator. I'm not familiar with Macs but one may exist somewhere. I remember seeing an episode on Hak5 about Wine. The project is here: http://www.winehq.org/

As far as ease of use ~ Guru wins hands down. It's pretty much place the probes, mount the blower, set the temp and you're done. As long as you have enough fuel to last the night you are good to go. On an egg this usually isn't a problem. Tom is right in that most of the chatter here is about...

Steve is right. Just get a spare wireless router. That's what we use for the comps where there is no internet. Plug the stoker into the LAN switch on the back and set your laptop up to connect to the wireless lan on that router. Your computer won't have internet access when it's connected to...

Kit, You made the right decision in the end. The CyberQ2 can only be monitored wirelessly using 2 computers and a wireless router. This is because its only interface is a USB port which must connect to a computer. The computer connected to the CyberQ runs remote software like LogMeIn or...

The Onyx is a lightweight version of a Backwoods Fatboy/Chubby. It's still in prototype but it has maybe 8 shelves, has thick insulation between the double walls, silicon gaskets on the doors, and super reinforced firebox. It's so insulated it will run on a fraction of the fuel that a TallBoy...

That was my reply as well. They just said to watch the temp of your pit. The other thing is that smaller is not necessarily better. It could very easily be lost or stolen.
