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).

I mounted an old tablet by the back door to view my heatermeter graph and temps. Lazy at its best.

Had some leftover closed cell foam, so I decided to crank up the old CNC Router, and make a fitted case for my arsenal of heatermeters and dampers. One more spot for another Aluma-Damper.

I'm starting this thread, because there seems to be so many smokers people are using, with so many combinations of fan, damper, or fan/damper setups, that hopefully this can be a good reference for common smokers and setups people are using with successful results in temperature control. The...

Found another use for the Heatermeter ... Making my own "Fuel"!

Summer vs. Winter in South Central Montana! And Bryan, don't tell me the weather is nice in Florida.

I have recently gone through my stock of obviously counterfeit brand servos, and this one really stood out. I have no idea where I ordered it from, but it was some time ago. Because of this, I only order my MG90S servos directly from Tower Pro now. The one on the left is a genuine Tower Pro...

Not sure why, but after loading the latest firmware, I'm getting gaps in my graph when I refresh or re-establish my web page on google. Never happened before.

Just put another heatermeter together, but with my NEW Pi Zero W from Adafruit, it will not communicate with the AVR. Checked everything and the board is fine. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the Pi is screen printed with the year 2016, while all my others are 2017. What gives? Is there an...

Thought I'd start a new thread to generate some pointers on proper soldering techniques, and how to achieve great solder joints to avoid that "Magic Blue Smoke" that can ruin a good day, and cause someone to go a bit insane trying to track down what went wrong. I am, by no means, a Solder...

I'm currently building an insulated gravity feed smoker, and decided to deviate from the plans a bit to put a shelf in for no other reason than to house my Heatermeter. It's slow going on the build, but I'm getting there. Starting to skin the outside, and get all the doors done.

So, a few months ago, I used the heatermeter to test the efficiency of my high end Viking electric oven. Here were the results ... Notice the crazy sine wave of temps, and never really reaches the digital set temp but only overshot mostly. Now, since I moved into a new house, I inherited an...

I recently purchased a 3.5" LCD TFT touch display for a Rpi and thought it might be interesting to somehow integrate it with the Heatermeter. My idea thus far is to design a case for a headless HM, and include the LCD display above to show the web page (flames). It does need it's own Rpi. The...

Just started my build for a Gravity Feed Smoker. The forum I found it at says it should be able to handle 8 butts. The main reason I'm posting is because these were designed to run on an Automatic Temperature Controller (ATC) and the heatermeter certainly fits the bill. I'll keep you guys...

I always test my homemade thermocouples in an oven, and until recently, has always been in an electric oven. Ive posted a few threads on how inefficient they are, ranging from set temps with wild 20 degree swings. I just moved into a new house that has a 1952 Wedgewood Stove/Oven and thought...

Hey y'all, Found this on Thingiverse, and it fits the bill for a way to cleanly store your probes. It fits both the Maverick and Thermoworks probes well. I printed a few ... It can be found here

On sale again. $11.20 each vs normal $16.00 http://www.thermoworks.com/TX-1001X-OP?tw=VWB

There's a great file on Thingiverse for all y'all 3d printers to check out. It's a Maverick food probe wrap. I stummbled upon it on a response from an HM member that printed an Adapt-a-Damper, and lived to tell about it. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1962968

Cranking my heatermeter up for a cook this weekend. Any suggestions from you cold weather dwellers for using it in very cold temps? I'm using my insulated Akorn.

I've had a roll of flexible filament (NinjaFlex) for my 3D printer for a while now, and decided to give it a go this weekend. I decided to try to design and print a protective case for the heatermeter. So far, just a "proof of concept", but plan on improving the design, and tweaking the print...
