    Stable Firmware Release v14

    Not Mac. Windows 10 using win32diskimager. I can get it working with an older image, and then if I update either by writing to the SD or using the web interface backup/flash firmware page, it causes the reboot loop. I hooked up to a screen but the loop happens so fast I can't read the error...

    Big Steel Keg question

    I have a keg too. I find it requires a high P and D to run properly. Also, you got it right with a low startup max. You need to creep up to the setpoint or you'll overshoot, then take so long to come down, that the fire goes out. Here's my settings: P: 20 I: 0.01 D: 10 Fan on above 10% Min: 0%...

    PitDroid: An Android app for your HeaterMeter

    If you have the 'alarm on lost connection' set and a pit temp alarm or meat alarm set, you can't close the app when there is a lost connection. eg open the app when you have your heatermeter unplugged, and you can't close the app. The close button in the notification area just keeps reopening...

    first test run. Need some help

    I think it's a little thicker steel and better insulation than an Akorn. The heat stays inside, it's always cool to the touch on the outside.

    first test run. Need some help

    Yes, I'm using a rotodamper with blower. Not true on the keg. With the keg on a natural cook, you need to run the top vent at 1.25 to maintain 225. With the rotodamper, I can run a little more open. When I first got the heatermeter and rotodamper, I tried (and failed) many cooks using Akorn...

    first test run. Need some help

    The Keg (which I have) does not perform like a ceramic, due to the double wall insulated construction. After a few years of tweaking mine, here is what works for me: P: 20 I: 0.01 D: 10 Fan on above 10% Min: 0% max: 25% Startup max: 5% Servo output is inverted on mine. You need the high P and D...

    About to order! Some questions

    Running it up to the desired temp, with the top vent wide open, may have stoked too many coals. Once it hits 125-150, try closing the top vent down, and also set your initial temp to 200. Once it reaches that and overshoots but starts to plateau (probably around 220), change the set temp to the...

    Help with HM and Keg? Dale/Andy

    That basket is a lot smaller, basically the size of the bottom grate. The KAB-15HD has the same dome shape as the keg firebowl, so it fills the entire bowl up past the air holes. The lump is then held off the surface of the firebowl the thickness of the metal rod plus a little. You can fill it...

    Help with HM and Keg? Dale/Andy

    It's very heavy gauge rod, that is going to last a long time, not like using a thin colander

    Help with HM and Keg? Dale/Andy

    I think the Kick Ash basket has helped as well, keeps the lump off the firebowl
