    Stokerlog Version 6

    Just installed StokerLog 6.7 on Windows 7 64 bit, first time installing since building this machine a few months ago. I didn't change any of the default directories during install and everything went fine.

    Stainless cooking grates?

    I thought I read on here somewhere that there were stainless steel cooking grates available that would fit the WSM. But I've searched high and low and can't find any specific reference. There are some hinged 18-1/2" stainless steel cooking grates offered on the Weber online store -- will those...

    StokerLog Feature Request - Windows Shutdown

    Hi Amir I ran an all-night cook last night and had my laptop on the nightstand next to my bed to keep an eye on things. Zero problems with StokerLog, but... Windows Update came along at 3am and decided it was time to install an update and force a reboot of my computer. Fortunately, I heard...

    Email about Rancher from Orig Charcoal Company

    Still $2.99 in Kansas City! I'm sure the inventory at some of the stores isn't completely accurate, plus it's already several days old. Definitely call ahead before burning any gas to go get some!

    Email about Rancher from Orig Charcoal Company

    I started a similar thread at about the same time, I guess: http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9130026584/m/8920069015 The list is on my website, in a PDF file. See the other thread.

    Fresh Ham BRT

    Thinking I'd like to cook a fresh ham BRT (boned, rolled and tied) but have no idea where I might locate one in the Kansas City area. I have a friend who runs a BBQ joint about 100 miles away, so I could *probably* get one from him if I wanted to make the drive. But hopefully I can find one (or...

    home depot hardwood charcoal briquettes, $3 for 20lbs

    I knew there was a reason my in-law's live in St. Louis and I live in Kansas City (besides the obvious, that is)... Had my mother-in-law pick up 15 bags of Rancher for me at $2.99 from the Home Depot in Town & Country. The only down side is that now I have to go over to St. Louis and get...

    Rancher Charcoal - First Overnighter

    I called a local Home Depot in the Kansas City area and asked them to look up the SKU 990-347 to see if any stores had it in stock. I was told that that SKU is currently inactive, meaning *no* stores in this region have the product. Have sent a followup email to the folks at...

    Do You Use an Automatic Temperature Controller ?

    I've got a Stoker and absolutely love it. I'm not that experienced at running the WSM, having had persistent trouble with temperature control. For the most part, that's a non-issue now that the Stoker is on the job. I can run an all-night cook now without having to wake up every hour or two to...

    Help - Tainted pork butt??

    Thanks for the reply, Kevin - I like your reasoning: Doesn't matter if the meat is safe to eat or not - it still smells and tastes "off" so why would I take a chance on serving it. I called Sam's Club this morning and it'll be no problem getting a refund. I talked to the manager of the meat...

    Help - Tainted pork butt??

    I've been cooking pork butts for an upcoming Cub Scout picnic for the last 24 hours, 2 batches of 4 butts each. I'm not sur,e but it seems to me that there's something wrong with the meat -- it has a strong, mildly "off" smell to it; not what I"d call truly "rancid" but very unpleasant just...

    Cooking Pork Butt for 100+ people

    Thanks for the reply! Definitely something to think about -- this will be the only meat course available at the picnic, though each family is supposed to bring a side dish. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div...

    Cooking Pork Butt for 100+ people

    I don't have access to anything but my WSM. So it'll be a series of cooks to get all the butts done. Fortunately pork butt freezes pretty well so I can spread the cooking sessions out over several days. As to the Saran wrap, I first read about it on the Virtual Weber Bullet web site...

    Cooking Pork Butt for 100+ people

    In a state of temporary insanity, I volunteered to cook pork butts for an upcoming Cub Scout family picnic. Looks like we'll have around 100 to 120 people, about half of them kids, and I need to make enough meat for all of them. The plan is to use a modified Renowned Mr. Brown recipe (much less...

    StokerLog Version 4.0 Preview

    I haven't used the timed alarms yet, but... If the program were more oriented toward being used for a "cooking session" rather than just loading previously saved settings and starting to log data, the timer problem would be a lot easier to fix. When the user starts a "cooking session," all...

    StokerLog Version 4.0 Preview

    Another minor nit: Seems to me the horizontal dotted lines on the graph should be aligned with the temperature readings on the left rather than the fan rate on the right. Would make it easier to read the temperature line.

    Hi Amir A followup on the registry bug I reported earlier, plus a couple more minor issues: (And for the record, I'm a .NET software engineer... ;-) * I noticed that when I show the permissions for HKCU/Software/AmirM Software/StokerLog, my login isn't shown - only "Administrators" and...

    StokerLog Version 4.0 Preview

    I see stack trace, but I was simply dragging on the graph, to zoom it it. That was the first thing I did after installing and starting the app (goofy thing to do first, I know, but it was really an accident). Home machine, XP professional, I'm an administrator, nothing strange about the...
