    Working up something for a 250 gallon smoker

    I have not run this new smoker yet, heck the paint isn't dry yet. I was just getting a jump on it. I picked that blower more for construction than anything else. I saw it was kinda big CFM wise. But it is a big unit that will be out in the weather and towed down the road. My smaller 120 gallon...

    Working up something for a 250 gallon smoker

    I'm a bit hesitant to go with a stoker on this but I may find a way to get around my concern. Doing long overnight cooks I worry that the stoker will keep increasing until the fire burns down too far to keep lit. Right now if the fire goes cold I know I need to throw some more fuel into it. If...

    Can I reset the alarms remotly?

    I guess I need to play around with the alarm features. I don't fully understand how they work. Though the display was flashing there was no sound. I had to disable them and re-enable them to reset from my device. Is there something that shows what all the settings are for? I couldn't find much...

    Tell me about it? Thinking about starting this project.

    I reconfigured a Linksys router to act as an AP and that solved the limited range at work. I just keep the Linksys on the second floor So it can see the HM and I can pick up the signal easily in my office.

    Yes it's an EDimax, the adapter goes dead, stops blinking, and you can not scan for WiFi networks.

    Tell me about it? Thinking about starting this project.

    I did make the changes on a LAN cable connection. When I picked a network and entered the pass code the wireless went dead. Getting a lot of practice setting this up though. Going to have to do it again when the new rPi shows up. This one is defective, the SD slot won't hold a card, it won't...

    I changed it to client and scanned for a wireless network to connect to and the original network vanished and now the light is out on the adapter.

    Tell me about it? Thinking about starting this project.

    Ok, I got it up and running. I have to login to the wireless on the HM to access it. What do I have to do to connect with my phone without having to login to that wireless connection?

    Tell me about it? Thinking about starting this project.

    I like to do BBQs for my employees. We had a small crew of about 75 people. I HATE grilling burgers and dogs so I built a 120 gallon smoker and about 4-5 times a year I fire it up and make ribs, pork or chicken and a couple hundred peppers for our employees. Well as we have grown the smoker is...

    Tell me about it? Thinking about starting this project.

    Ok, I've been reading and reading. I have made contact with people about assembled units. I see the majority of users are grill users. I'm working on a 250 gallon smoker. I think I'm going to need different damper / Fan control options. Thanks for the input!

    Tell me about it? Thinking about starting this project.

    I guess the question is, without spending days reading about it, is this a "project" or a "hobby"? Is this something a guy of decent technical skills can get going pretty quick or is this an ongoing hobby that will never be "finished". I was shopping for a bluetooth thermometer. I bought an...
