I got a Vortex back around Thanksgiving and have been really enjoying it, but I've been using it on the lower grate setting on my WSK-E6. Today I decided to cook some march madness wings and lo and behold I found myself very disappointed in cooking on the upper grate setting with the vortex...

Anyone know of a 3rd party firebox divider for a Smokey Joe? I see a Youtube member, Greg at Woodshed BBQ used to sell a "Sear n Q" for the SJ but has since run into health issues and I think he quit selling them. I'm looking to revive an old Mini WSM but also add some convenience for reverse...

I've seen some brief mentions in a few threads about wrapping the deflector on the WSK and am a bit perplexed about how that would work. The thing has holes designed to let air through, so wouldn't that yield sub-optimal performance? And if I pushed through the foil on all the holes, then gunk...

Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase the OG hinged diffuser plate from the "1st gen" Weber Summit? I'm looking to get an E6 Summit soon and have read that one of the advantages of the OG 2016 model was the plate was hinged whereas now it's no longer hinged. That allowed you to easily...

I'm considering consolidating a WSM22 and a Kettle-22 down to just a Summit, and I see with the new Summit product refresh that the E6 model doesn't have the gas ignition. Is this something that can be added on at a later date? Thanks!

So I'd been using an HM 4.2 (corrected for interference) for a while but got tired of the wifi-only setup I had and it needs some fixes -- new screen, probe port to be resoldered, and new power adapter. Anwyay I bought a Guru UltraQ and lemme tell you -- stay away from that crap at all costs...

I recently upgraded to v14 firmware (HM 4.1) and am finding that my HM is now, on occasion, overshooting and simply refusing to turn the fan output off. And I don't mean in a "I built this thing wrong" kind of way -- I'm talking software. For example, I currently have a setpoint of 250F. At...

Does anyone have recommendations on a wifi adapter that actually has an antenna port AND works in AP mode? I swear my current adapter worked in AP mode, but I'm no longer able to get anything to connect to it. The ssid is seen, and devices try to connect, but they hang at "Obtaining IP address"...

Has anyone had any issues with the Southco latches on the CB doors getting stuck or incredibly hard to operate? I think I may need to clean the portion of the latch inside the WSM, cuz I've had a hell of a hard time opening mine lately. I rotate the latch up and out towards me, but then when I...

Alright, so here's the rundown --- I'm trying to design a dogbowl solution for a large offset smoker. I've got my rotoblower set up and working just fine, but I'm struggling to get the contraption made that I need in order to mount it, because I can't seem to solder 2 pieces of metal together...

Less than 20 bucks and an hour of work (should've been less, but it was 15F outside), and I've managed to put together a smaller charcoal ring for my 22.5" model. This will serve well for smaller, shorter cooks like ribs where I don't need to put a whole bag in. Stock dimensions of the 18"...

Just wanted to say.... 1. Happy Turkey Day! I'm sure there's plenty of yall out there getting your pits ready, making last preps, drying the turkey post-brine, you name it...... 2. Good luck on your cooks, don't get too drunk and ruin the bird. 3. And finally, a huge shout-out to all the folks...

OK, so i recently purchased a Panda RT5370-based adapter and had good luck with it for running AP mode with security enabled. So I found another one, Comfast WU730A, that has an antenna port on it. The range on the Panda is horrible, and it can hardly even pick up my router at home. This new...

I've looked through the interface, and unless I was just having too many beers, I couldn't find any config for changing the web server interface port. I already run a music server on port 80, so I'd like to have my HM running on 8080 so that I can access both simultaneously. Does anyone know...

Coming from an 18.5 WSM, and looking for some quick advice on giving the HeaterMeter a fighting chance against the high-temp power of the 22.5 model. My understanding is that it wants to rage at 275F+, so I'm already planning on installing a gasket to seal between the charcoal bowl and cooking...

My HM 4.1 was already built when i purchased it, and I'm trying to smooth things out as best as possible. Ralph, I'm sure you'll see this post, but I'm getting noise issues once again on my probe lines, and I'm wanting to check all my wiring and perform the two mods recommended -- RC filters...

I've got a auber 20cfm hooked up to our pit, but for some stupid reason at 0% the fan is still running. Any ideas how to fix, if there is a fix? Works fine with my 6.5cfm auber fan.

I just switched my HM back into AP mode, and I set a WPA2 password on it so that it'll be secure during competition. However, I cant connect to the darn thing! It times out (read: NOT telling me bad pw) on wifi password validation on every single device I've tried connecting. Anyone know what's...

OK, so I've got a large vent to work with (http://www.tuckercooker.com/MorePictures/images/vents.75.jpg) and need some advice on fitting a blower to it. Each pie slice of that vent measures approx 2.25" x 3.25", and overall diameter needed to cover the entire vent is approx 5.6-5.7 inches. That...

Looking for fan output settings for this specific combo. I know there's gotta be at least a handful of folks, if not more, that have this simple combo. I gave mine a first run around 5am and have noticed a "sin wave" of temperature fluctuations, so I'm trying to tune my settings. Using defaults...
