    Stoker Blower Fan acting weird

    Amir, I am so glad you posted that. My stoker has done that same thing twice, but I did not try unplugging a temp sensor. I think I fixed it by moving around some of the plugs. (Essentially accomplishing the same thing.) When the stoker gets into that state, I don't think power cycling it...

    Non-WSM Stoker Question (sorry)

    Another ceramic user here - the gasket seems to cushion the cables nicely. The ceramic's temperature stability when you leave the lid closed on a low-n-slow is amazing. On my last pork shoulder cook I saw variation over a 2 degree range for 12 hours.

    Stoker or Guru?

    I looked into the arduino angle. The cost can add up pretty quickly, but you don't really do the arduino approach because you want to save money, you do it because it's a fun project I probably made the whole enterprise more expensive because I wanted to use PWM to drive the fan and use...

    Less smoke?

    Hey guys - I did my first stoker cook this weekend (butt and a brisket). I noticed I was getting less smoke than I am used to. Visually there was less smoke and I think I got a bit less smoke flavor in the food. This is on a ceramic cooker and I left the top vent only very slightly open. Will...

    StokerLog Version 5 Preview

    It looks like my connection problems were on the pc side and not with the stoker > bridge > router link. I've had 10 hours of uptime on a stokerlog session now. (It's running today while I'm at work.) Amir, I think it would be very helpful for the stokerlog program to automatically reconnect if...

    Stoker control page source code?

    Hey Tony, I saw your post a few days back on the bge forum and was going to ask you about that. I haven't done any work in Ruby before, but it looks approachable. I see someone has also put together a runtime solution for RoR that includes a pre-configured apache and mysql too. I will...

    StokerLog Version 5 Preview

    Thanks Amir - I am doing some bench tests to find the root of my connection problem. I'll look into Tomato as well - I did have to reboot my AP today because it seemed like it hung.

    JOHN AT Rock's BAR-B-QUE HAS HEART ATTACK

    I spoke to John on the phone last week to order my stoker. He seemed in fine spirits - I didn't bring up his medical condition during the call, figuring he just wanted to start getting back to a normal routine. All the best to him, he was very helpful and his product is great!

    StokerLog Version 5 Preview

    I did my first stoker cook this weekend and used Stokerlog too. The stoker held the temperature like a rock, but I did have some problems with losing connection between stokerlog on my pc and the stoker. I haven't had the chance to troubleshoot to see why - but this is running over a new wifi...

    Stoker control page source code?

    It looks like either this board doesn't have private messaging or I'm just too new a user here to be given access to PM. Can you e-mail me to hammer out the details of the page interface? k nelson at awdri ven dot net ie: http post, querystring, and fields

    Stoker control page source code?

    Hey Amir, My idea was to have a program on my pc that would scrape the status from http or telnet, then posts that data to a website. Use cases - Send stoker data to public web - Portal program scrapes the temperature data from the stoker over the private LAN, then sends the data to a...

    Stoker control page source code?

    Thanks much, Ken! Even if I could, I'd prefer not to make a port opening in my home network. I can write a program that will run on a pc inside my network, read the values off the stoker, and push them out to an external web server. Then you could read the stoker's status from anywhere. You...

    Stoker control page source code?

    Hey guys, I'm going to join the stoker club later this week. This forum has had a ton of useful information in helping me make a decision on which control to buy. I'm really interested in getting started on a program to control the stoker via a website outside my home firewall without having...
