Having put about 6 or 7 low and slow cooks now under my belt since completing my build, I wanted to share that I think I've got it pretty well locked in and know what to expect. I've had a 13 lb full brisket on my kamado since 2pm today and just threw on a 5 lb flat for a late Christmas feast tomorrow afternoon.
In the cold pouring rain today, my HM/RD3 have been managing 225F very well. I even managed to configure Pushbullet messaging in no time to help manage alarms. All very cool stuff!
The one thing I thought I would ask, is that while 225 has been kept fairly steady, it seems when a stronger rain comes down, the temps are fluctuating wildly, 20-30 degrees, which is kicking off alarms. I have a long thin TC probe going in through the top vent of my kamado that is closed off on the wire. I think some rain may be dripping down the wire.
I covered the vents with a small bucket as a late night improv, but was wondering if anyone has made anything cool to block rain from a top vent while allowing proper ventililation?
