I know that it's been discussed a bit here before, but I've found a way using the popular IFTTT app available for both iPhone and Android to call your phone when an alarm is triggered. The method requires sending the message through IFTTT servers from your email and it does proclude you from...

Thanks Steve

In my attempt to get the HM to call me when an alarm is triggered, I erased the stock/factory alarm email message script. Could someone who has it kindly post here? Thanks!!!

Thanks Ralph. I checked continuity between both BLOWER and GND pin at the CAT5e jack on the heatermeter and all the way to the CAT5 keystone jack in the RD3. Good on all points. I also backed up and checked at various points on the PCB and still getting a good continuity check and zero...

I'm thinking it must be a wiring issue as well as it was not working properly again. Could not ramp up on manual and would not work when running using PID settings. I'm confident the blower is fine as I can operate it by connecting wires to the PCD and the blower directly. I'm going to check all...

Checked two Costcos in my area and neither have bellies. Restaurant depot has them by the case. I've got the freezer space and several people willing to buy the finished product off of me, so I'm likely to go splurge for a 65lb case of bellies this weekend.

Nope it's set to 100%. Not sure what is going on, but when I used it today to smoke two butts, it operated perfectly. Thanks for the reply though.

I've go the HM fan wired up. When setting to Manual and manually ramp up the fan, it initially pulses one time at one seems like 100% and then immediately back down to 10%. The fan will then not ramp up any faster than that, even if I try to run it 100% on the display...the fan will not get any...

Thanks Ralph. Your guidance helped tremendously!

Ordered RD3 on Thursday and received on Saturday. Talk about super fast service. Not sure Amazon can compare to that! Hooked everything up to the Cat5 jack and works as expected.i think I need to do some tuning as the servo does not open the damper fully or close fully but this is in no way an...

check monoprice dot com. They are my go to source.

Thanks for the input folks. Took about 7.5 hours from start to finish. I think I've learned a lot on my first run. Firstly, I'm going to pull the bellies out of the fridge about a hour prior to the smoke. I pulled them out and put them directly on the smoker. Second, I'm going to get the smoker...

First attempt at smoking bacon. I've got two 6.5 lb slabs running at 180*. It's been about 5 hours since I fired up the 18.5 WSM. Put the belly on immediately after adding the coals, so they were added when the smoker was cold. I'm at 123 on the bottom belly and 121 on the top Is it normal for...

Is it possible that I am missing something? I've looked all over the Alarms page of LinkMeter and cannot find the checkbox for Pushbullet. The only two that I see are Email and SMS. I just flashed the latest snapshot from the online repository and still don't see it. Can anyone give me a hand on...

Thanks Ralph. I think I figured out one of the issues and thankfully (I guess) is that it does not reside solely in the HM. It is fine. When I built and setup the HM, I was in my shed at my workbench. I have an access point router out there for internet connectivity since the router in the house...

I've got my Heatermeter built and it was fully operational. Made some tweaks to the network settings and now I cannot obtain an IP address or connect via the ethernet jack. Is there a way to restore all settings, including network settings, back the default. Or, is there a way to plug the unit...

Attempting my first run on my "new to me" WSM 18". Started the fire minion method with 20-25 pieces of KBB using the Weber large chimney and one of their fire starters. Added them to a nearly full load in the charcoal ring. Came up to temp of 200F very quickly. Closed two of the dampers and...

Wow those look yummy!

Thanks for the input. Quick question. When doing the chicken as described above, is it safe to leave the wood chunks on the coal to provide some smoke flavor for the chicken, or are they likely to catch fire and burn?

Planning on doing my first smoke on my new-to-me WSM 18". It'll be a couple racks of baby backs and some bone-in/skin-on chicken breasts. Planning on running with a 2/3 full load of charcoal and some apple wood and maybe a couple hickory. For the ribs, I'll likely do 3-1-1 method at 225*. It's...
