Hey all, I originally built my HM for my WSM and I have the standard blower fan that attached to the vent of the WSM. Does anyone know what blower fan/attachment I need to buy to make it for for a BGE? Thanks

I have been using an automatic temperature control system on my WSM for awhile now for which I have closed off the other two vents for over a year or so. Sometimes I would like to just open up the vents and cook some food on my WSM but I can't get the vents to open anymore. I have even used a...

Hey everyone, I'm having continuous problems with holding a steady temp on my WSM. It's an 18.5" with the top vent open 25%. All other vents are closed except for the fan that goes in one vent. Not sure what to change to prevent the waves as seen below. Any help is appreciated.

So my last few cooks have all gone the same way. For about 2-3 hours the temp is pretty stable at my set point, then something happens and it gets really wavy and never settles back in. Can anyone help? Not sure what to look for. The top vent on my WSM is about a quarter open. The min fan...

Can someone tell me approximately how long it will take to cook a 5 pound brisket flat and about what temp to pull? Thanks!

I had everything working fine until tonight when I soldered on the final probe and the center button on. After I did that the fan no longer works when I plug it in. It just makes this faint screeching sound. I did have a small mishap when soldering on the button, some of solder got onto the...

I just built my first HeaterMeter and I'm having this weird issue with the fan. I asked Bryan about it and he is looking into it I was wondering if anyone has seen this sort of behavior before. The setpoint is 225 and I just have the pit probe plugged inside my house so the fan is running at...

Hello everyone, I finally got my hetermeater put together today. It is the 4.0 with RaspberryPi. The only issue I'm having and I'm hoping it's something simple is that the probes only register and work when I'm holding the whole device in my hand. As soon as I set it down it says No Pit...

Hey everyone I just got all the parts for my 4.0 heater meter I'm very excited to hopefully build it this week. I have a very simple question I hope. Looking through the assembly page it has details in the installation, do I just need to follow the correct colors as the pictures or is there...

Hey everyone, I have read most of this forum but I'm still having trouble figuring all this out. I am very good with computers but I have never soldered anything before. From what I understand for the heater meter I need the raspberry pi and the other parts listed on the github page. I suppose I...

So here's the deal. I'm smoking a 13 pound turkey for the family then we are driving to the lake to spend Thanksgiving where the turkey will be eaten. There will probably be about a period of 2-3 hours in between when the turkey is finished smoking and the actual dinner is eaten. Should I let...

Hey all, I am in a burger cook-off competition for my work, and I need a great burger recipe! Please let me know what you've got. Thanks!

Hey all, Just got a performer about a month ago, and I'm having trouble getting my steaks right. How do you all typically cook steaks? I got my temp up to 550 and seared for a couple minutes on both sides and then moved to indirect for the rest of the cook. Is this the correct way to...

Hey everyone, I'm heading to the beach this weekend and I would like to smoke a butt on Saturday during the day and then eat it over the next few days while at the beach. What is the best way to do this? Let it come down to room temp and then put it in the fridge? Then pull later? Thanks

Hey everyone, I just got a new Performer this week and I have some questions. This will really be my first time grilling with a charcoal grill. Anyone just have any general tips for grilling with charcoal? I understand the direct vs. indirect, but how much charcoal do you generally use for...

I'm definitely going to get either a Performer or OTG soon, just not sure which to go with. I love the idea of the automatic starter for the charcoal. My question is, was anyone else in the same predicament and are you happy with the decision you made? Anyone bought a Performer and wish they...

So I had about a 6 pound bone-in butt last weekend. Put on the WSM at about 7am. Cooked at around 250-275 until around 2PM when the internal temp registered 192 on the Maverick ET73. Tried the tenderness test by putting my other therm in the butt, seemed to go in like butter in quite a few...

Hey everyone, just got an ET73. Just wondering where everyone places the smoker probe to monitor the temp. Should I just drop it in the top vent, or underneath the lid on the grate? Thanks for the help!

Hey all, I'm really looking forward to doing my first smoke of BBR's today on my 18.5 WSM. I was going to run through my cooking procedure real quick and see if anyone had any thoughts/recommendations. I plan on smoking them for about 4-5 hours on ~225. I was going to use the minion method...
