Probably because you're using the RotoDamper 3 (RD3). LOL!

Just go with a Roto-damper or Adapt-a-Damper setup. It's been proven here, and re-invented a million times. If you want to control the damper directly, there are settings that can do that.

Not sure. Just go with the Pi Zero W. It's so easy. Don't need all that computing power of the Pi 3.

Just a heads up. Unless there is a very large demand in the next few months, I will not be supporting the Adapt-a-Damper any further. It seams that most of the builders have faded away here on the site. It's been a great run, and thank you all for your support. A special thanks goes out to Capn...

Designed to be a tight slip fit.

I built the mini, and use a 15 CFM. Should be big enough for the double pan. My fan never runs at full soeed.

So, I have the parts and files for machining the Aluma-Damper. I will not make parts to sell, but if anyone is interested in the CAD files, I would be more than happy to share. What would be the best posting venue?

Do you still not have the files to give for 3D printing, or machining the RD3? Not that it really matters. Just wondering.

Only because Brian made such an awesome controller!

Big cook. A 16 lb Brisket. I put it on at 12:00 midnight a day ago. Done 14 hours later, but I thought I'd keep it burning. The giggles in the middle are when I put on other dishes to smoke. My Smoker. And this is with a battery powered setup. Great battery. I have 3 of them. Never changed it...

Reflow your solder joints. Do you have pics of your board?

Have these files been shared yet? Just wondering. I have people asking me for the half moon design and I always send them to this post.

I am. I admit it. Here is my arsenal of 4 controllers, 3 Aluma-Dampers, 1 15 CFM damper, and 3 battery packs. Each has a home to satisfy my SAS (Smoker Acquisition Syndrome).

Really don't know what I did to get it dialed in. I built the smoker, a gravity feed smoker, from plans. The site is https://smokerplans.net/collections/cabinet-style-smokers37 It's all insulated, and I had no clue the Heatermeter would keep the temps so much in line. It just happened.

Pork Butt on the Mini Gravity Feed. Stock PID settings, using Fan only (15 CFM). No servo. Gravity Feed

Pretty simple design change. I'll see what I can do.

Frickin' awesome! Welcome to the Gravity Feed club. Looks like you got those plans from SmokerBuilders? i built the Mini and love it. Keeps temps within 1 degree all day long. Great build! Love the integrated HM!

I'll soon be working on a version with an integrated keystone into the design to be printed, much like the original adapt-a-damper.

I ordered 10 servos at a time directly from TowerPro a few years ago. 2 were non-functional. I think TowerPro may even be outsourcing their Servos. I can swear by the Vorpal onces, though.
