Glad to hear that inspite of going through all of that, it all seems to have come out well. Please pass on my appreciation for what your sister and husband do. Even though they are in a different country to me, I still appreciate the outstanding sprit of human nature exhibited by people such as...

Hi Bryan, My mistake ... the Lid detection setting IS at 240 seconds. I haven't changed it at all. When I open the lid and do what needs to be done, then close the lid, the temp does go up, but with the damper closed and the fan off, it begins to fall again. I can't remember the times that it...

As I said in my first post, I have played with the Max fan speed setting... and I'm currently running with it set to 50%. When I first tried experimenting with changing Max fan speed I did set it to 30% and although I feel it did help with my issue of recovery from Lid open events, overall it...

Hi Steve, thanks for the reply. I am using a Weber Classic. Although I didn't know it when I bought it, ( I thought I was buying a conventional Weber.) I didn't know there was such a thing as a "Classic" version. In my opinion it's misnamed anyway, (it is in fact a new version.) I'm told that...

Hi everybody. I wanted to post here and see if there is anyone with a suggestion to help me with my only real problem with my Heatermeter. When I lift the lid to baste or turn my meat, the lid open setting triggers and shuts the fan and damper down as it is supposed to. When I place the lid on...

Well I believe I have solved the issue I had with the slow heating of my Weber. I did a second test cook. I made 2 changes and I'm impressed with the results. The changes I made are I used 20 briquettes in stead of five (as an initial fire) and I closed the vent down till there was only a...

This is how I have my RD3 connected to my weber classic [/url]20170623_090749 by Paul from Ripley, on Flickr[/IMG]

Continued from Post #1... Here is my graph of the whole "Cook" with some notations. 1 I started it as I previously described. Just before 14.28 I noticed the temp starting to drop so I opened it the lid and used my Loofa lighter to spread the fire to more briquettes. 2 I set the initial set...

Hi All, John Bostwick built and printed a Heatermeter and RD3 combo for me and mailed them to me in Australia. I would like to compliment John on the way everything just worked out of the box, and for his advice and assistance in my starting the learning journey. This is the combo I ordered...

Id be worried about how you would go cleaning it off if you needed to replace a part. I looked but I couldn't find any reference to say that it was suitable to be soldered over.

Just posting some thoughts here, I guess as a bit of a sounding board... Does anyone see any issues with the thinking that I outline below? John Bostwick has assembled a HM for me and it is currently in transit to Australia. I was thinking that I may have had a suitable power supply/adaptor in...

Hi Stephen. I have had the Weber for a few years. I originally only did "Normal" cooks using the baskets. I experimented with the vents ... only tried partially closing the top one, but I soon realised that the vents needed to be fully open. My problem is that even then the fire still dies out...

Here are a couple of pics of my Weber. I included an "inside shot to show the lower vents. They are different to the "easy clean " vents I have seen on other Webers, but they look to have similar surface area, so I doubt that is the reason for my "air starvation" issue. I'm not sure if I...

Hi Henry... Sure I'll take a picture and post... as for vents... They are all open fully lower and upper. I did try closing the top ones a little when I first got it, but it was clear that was not working... I'm sure it needs more air not less.

Pixels are cheap. ;)

Hi I'm Paul, I have only recently found this forum and I am finding it interesting to read. I guess my primary interest is Automatic Temperature control, specifically HeaterMeters. I have a conventional hooded BBQ which I like using and I feel I turn out good food on. It has a rotisserie as...
