When I place my Adapt-a-damper into manual fan mode and set it at 0% the servo puts out a high frequency noise (whine). When the damper is fully open and the fan is at 100% there is no such noise. I do get whining when the damper is partially closed/open. Because the damper would not be fully...

Can anyone recommend a crimper for the dupont connectors used on blower / damper connections?

I purchased an Adapt-a-damper kit from heatermeter.com and am having trouble inserting the keystone jack into its designated slot. I understand how the jack is supposed to click in but there does not seem to be enough headroom for the two tabs to engage with the Adapt-a-damper body. Should I...

Just assembled my HeaterMeter 4.3 and I have a problem with wildly changing (about a 30F range) Probe 0 (Pit) thermocouple temperatures. The Maverick thermistor I have on Probe 1 seems to operate just fine. I have an Auber 1 x K Type Thermocouple w/ alligator clip, Smoker, High Precision...

Home Depot and Lowes both have a Memorial Day sale that gets you two 18.5 pound bags of Kingsford Charcoal (a total of 37 pounds) for $9.88. That is $0.27 a pound.

Andy's started business in Campbell, CA in 1965 and seems to have been at its current location for decades. I have eaten lunch there at least a half a dozen times always getting brisket, spread over a salad. Usually I specify meat from the point and have to say that that while the service has...

Our local Costco in Redwood City, CA is stocking packaged Burnt Ends weighing around 2 lbs in its refrigerated prepared foods section. Have not eaten them as yet, but will report when I do.

I purchased a stainless steel door from Cajun Bandit a few years ago and installed it with a Southco latch on my very old 18.5" WSM. Recently I added gasket material (Nomex) around the edges with the hopes of sealing the door from air leaks. Instead, the door splayed out and flatened. As a...

I have a very old (> 20 years) 18.5" WSM and recently installed a BBQ Gasket nomex kit. I have a Cajun Bandit after market door, and glued the gaskets on the three inside sides of the door to rest on the exterior of the WSM and for the fourth side, I glued the gasket on the outside surface...

I was in Restaurant Depot in San Jose, CA today and was told that if I did not purchase something from them at least every 40 days my membership would be canceled. The folks at the store told me that it was not up to them but this was a new chain-wide policy enforced from their headquarters in...

With the development of a new HeaterMeter (HM) board with thermocouple support, I was wondering if I could just permanently mount a thermocouple probe on my 18.5" WSM. 1. While I cover my WSM when not in use and live in the San Francisco Bay Area (mild climate), I cannot guarantee that there...

People have mentioned Restaurant Depot as a good source of brisket, ribs, and butt from time to time on the forum. I checked their website and they require a membership to purchase products from the store. Their membership requirements state: I, and I believe a lot of people, aren't running a...

Yesterday, I did another brisket which came out pretty well. I have been using Aaron Franklin's method for cooking brisket and I thought I would share my experiences with the group. I typically use choice packers. 1. Trim the fat to about 1/4". 2. Use 50/50 coarse ground pepper and kosher...
