    WTB: Stoker (white box) or Stoker II (red letters)

    So nobody wants the white letter black unit ?

    Let's Be Careful Out There...

    I recognised the risk last year and bought myself a Looftlighter. Now I light the charcoal in place, no burnt spots on my deck. I have large paving stones on my deck, but was still spilling charcoal from the chimney starter. The Looftlighter is amazing, lights a small patch in less than 2...

    Air Tight

    My original door fitted better than this cajun Bandit one. Also, the original is easier to shape-to-fit. Also, I think the WSM works best with a little bit of leakage.

    Stoker System WSM 18" - is it worth it?

    To throw in my 2 cents .... If you smoke in the winter time, in windy conditions, rain, snow, then a Stoker will help regulate the airflow to make sure you run at a consistent temperature. StokerLog will also help you spot when you're nearly out of fuel ! In terms of being more tasty, I've...

    Cooking my First Ribs

    Ribs are funny things, it's taken me a year to figure out what I like and I found it by accident. A rushed cook job drove me to cook the ribs at 300F instead of 225F. From StokerLog I suspect my average temp was 280F. I also by chance left the rubbed ribs in the fridge for two-hours as I had...

    Stokerlog Version 6

    Had a weird one ... the one and only sensor connected suddenly went from being fire-control to a food probe when I was changing temperature setpoint. I had to restart the Stoker to fix this problem. So I upgraded to v6.8 and this behaved better, but I didn't change the temperature set point...

    Why So Long To Get Stokers?

    I believe that they build to order. Keeps costs down.

    Stokerlog Version 6

    It's the black Stoker, upgraded to the wireless enabling Firmware in Feb/March. I did not have this problem on the old version of StokerLog (v4.1) as I changed the target temps a couple of times with no issues. I upgraded to v6.7 before my Sunday cook and changing the target temperature caused...

    Stokerlog Version 6

    Of course the sooner you have your unit, the better !! Right now, we have a work-around (goto the main.html page and change the target temp from there), so waiting for a fix is fine. BTW, is it possible for StokerLog to command the Stoker to dis-associate the blower ? Or is it likely that the...

    Stokerlog Version 6

    Amir, Is there a way of running StokerLog in debug mode ? I can try and reproduce it if you'd like ?

    Glad to hear that I'm not alone. If the log file is useful, I can email it to you Amir ...

    Stokerlog Version 6

    Weird occurence ... After running for three hours with intermittent loss of comms, but all recovered, I decided to ramp the setpoint temperature from 227F to 260F. I made the change to the trget on StokerLog then Updated the Stoker. I expected to see the fan switch on, but nothing happened...

    Rib cook

    As long as you configure your StokerLog to the IP Address of your Stoker, it should receive data every second. If you're mnitoring through the Stoker Webserver that might update infrequently.

    Stoker Black Box wifi drops constantly

    I made sure the Stoker was left at the top menu level. I installed the mouse jiggler program to keep my computer awake. Everything worked great, except for the one telnet problem. I also realised I had an old version of StokerLog. I'll do ribs tomorrow and see how it behaves ...

    Access Door...

    The Cajun Bandit door has been on for two cooks and I couldn't figure out how to get a good seal. The original is now back on and will see if it was in fact better. I think it will be.

    Stokerlog Version 6

    I'm a process control engineer so I see StokerLog with that context. Percent deviation has the same use as absolute deviation with is shown, albeit in small font in my version. Current deviation is a useful measure of how far you are away from ideal right now. The average temp of the current...

    Stokerlog Version 6

    Thanks Amir, the values in the text file should be sufficient. BTW, I loaded the latest version of StokerLog, but if I click on Help/About it tells me it's v4.1 ??? I'm running XP.

    Stokerlog Version 6

    Any thoughts about adding an average temperature display ? Or a means to dump to a database ? Or is StokerLog purely real time ?

    Stoker Black Box wifi drops constantly

    Started a cook at 8:30 last night. Stokerlog was able to keep up until 1:30am. Woke up at 5am to check progress and couldn't get Stokerlg to connect to the Black Box. I can't get the http IP Addr /wifi.html or main. html to work either. I had to put on a coat and go outside to see if...
