Look at that sexy graph. Overnight brisket, I let it push through the stall. Massive brisket. UDS smoker with RD3 fan. I recently bought a pizza steel stone that will work in my outdoor pizza oven and I put it right above fire in my uds. Ive cooked about 10 briskets and this was the best I've...

I decided to go with a shop lamp with a heat bulb like for a terrarium. I lined the inside with Reflectix insulation. And then some on the lid on the outside. It holds 170-190 even in the 20s at night in the Vermont Winter. I took my microdamper and turned it around to vent out moist air but...

I had the same issue this summer a thermocoupler I bought 5-6 years ago died. I ended up buying the thermoworks one but if you are looking for cheaper: https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=20_3

Not really related to Heatermeter but I am stuck between communities with the question and you all are amazing so I thought I would pose it here. So I would love to convert my UDS to a low volume wood drying kiln. I built WBegg's SSR sous vide controller a while back: Seen Here My UDS has a...

I see the benefits of both setups. Kevin's is much more like what I currently have.. basically a battery pack that plugs directly into the heatermeter. I can recharge the AAs. I just didn't realize it only kicks out 500ma instead of 1 and that is causing me to not get full fan power. Tbh when I...

Hey All, I was intrigued by the blower issue that Kevin raised and Bryan helped out with and I realized that my battery pack setup was not working correctly not enough power from AAs so I am thinking of wanting to fix this while being as versatile as possible. Possible battery uses for...

Hey thanks for bringing this up Kevin and thanks for the diagnostic Bryan. I had a similar thought after two cooks this week. Where my microdamper couldn't keep the temp up around 325 in my UDS. So I checked it out and was only getting 98 at "full power" but I was using a battery pack...

Anyone build the Macrodamper? I was wondering if that is the right fan for this? Blower for Macrodamper?

Awesome thanks so much

Hello does anyone have a case designed with the raspberry pi zero in use with the 4.3. I would love to print my own. Best, Nate

thanks so much Bryan

I got a brand new 4.3 to go with my 4.2 for xmas. I am rethinking and re-imaging all my sdcards and the versions of Raspberry pi's that I have to go with each and have a few questions. First is about the Does this process rewrite the exisiting config info or would it only load if the...

Thanks Steve! Yeah so I read about that. Yesterday after I had my heatermeter really warmed up and outside in the heat only my TC probe was way high like 600 and then 400 then accurate at like 180 in my pit then 500 it bounced all around. This started about 30 minutes into the cook. I disabled...

Thanks Steve. I'm back to a loss. I guess I can do the AA battery test now. I'll report those results back.

Well looking through this thread: https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?78056-Thermocouple-Pit-Probe-Issues-on-new-HM-build I have a similar problem so I tried the same diagnosis. When doing the TC amp testing everything looks good except that N is connected to 2. There are no other bad...

Hello All, I have a previous thread with help on my TC probe here: https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?74951-Thermocouple-Works-on-RD3-but-not-on-main-board&p=823281 It seems to have resurfaced as I was seasoning a new UDS I built. After a couple of hours running HM and microdamper the TC went...

Well hmph. I don't have much of an ability to fix these solder points nor replace the caps. I bought my board online and would most likely ruin it if I tried to solder it. It if was completely not working maybe I would attempt it but as it did work with the RD3 I am hesitant to do any solder...

I think the 10n does have a bubble.. Is that a problem but I do think the light was causing a shadow for the other one. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dx625dx5x6o6l6c/IMG_20180729_090220.jpg?dl=0 I guess I will Google how to test a 10n capacitor? I am wondering what might have caused this.
