I've done a couple cooks on my WSM 18.5" with HeaterMeter and blower since my last posting. Yesterday I smoked 4 whole chicken halves on the top rack without a water pan, starting with a Weber Chimney and a half of 50/50 lump and briquettes. I was able to run at 325 for an hour with the blower...

I am another shinning example of a dummy trying to apply someones great design or product to the wrong application. I hope I didn't come across as being negative about the MicroDamper. That wasn't my intention. I should of done more research here on the forum. As I don't have a printer and...

wow, Wow, WOW. I found the BFB0512VHD blower that came with my HeaterMeter kit. I replaced the MicroDamper with the blower and did a quick 3 hour cook tonight of a couple meatloafs and a couple fatties to check everything out. This is how I temporarily rigged up the blower to a 3/4" 45deg...

Thanks for the reply Dave and Ralph. That makes a lot of sense to me Ralph. A squirrel cage blower might be much better at dealing with back pressure and supplying combustion air through my 3/4" pipe into the manifold (air burner) in my 18.5" WSM than the fan in the MicroDamper with my...

Thanks for the reply and info Dave. My 3/4" copper manifold sits just under the charcoal grate and is [-] shaped and has sixteen 3/16" holes. Since I removed the manifold and just ran the 3/4" pipe directly into the charcoal bowl under the charcoal grate I thought I might have eliminated the...

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me out. I can barely reach a 200 degree pit temperature after more than 3 hours on my 18” WSM with the fan running 100% and the MicroDamper wide open.. Lack of incoming combustion air seems to be the problem as opening the door will make the pit temperature...

What a great idea. I think the air manifold design rather than the single pipe output from the blower/damper into the firebox will work much better to control the fire with my newly built HeaterMeter and MicroDamper. Ron I printed off your parts list and am just back from the store to start...
