Hello guys,
Long time BBQ/Griller (50 plus years) and Weber owner.
But now I have a Kamado Joe Classic II as well as my old Performer and I'm also thinking of a Smoky Mountain or stand-up smoker.
And I'm looking for a temperature controller.
It needs to be flexible enough to be able to be installed on several devices (see above) and I want WiFi and Smartphone control as well as online tracking of the cooks (graphs, etc.)
The HeaterMeter site is pretty confusing as to exactly what parts I need to achieve what I want. I asked the following on another site but haven't heard anything yet so any recommendations are appreciated:
Here is what I was looking at on the Heatermeter site and what I need help deciding.
1. Kit 4.3 With thermocouple and with blower... $96.00
2. 12 volt wall wart, already have a dozen or so ... Free
3. Raspberry PI... Have no idea what to buy. I need Wi-Fi and Display, and any other stuff for the hookups... Any help appreciated
4. Probes... Order with the thermocouple??? (which I assume is the grate temp probe???) and I have 3 or 4 Inkbird probes. Might they work??...Any help appreciated
5. Wiring and plugs? Again, I have no idea. Any help appreciated
As for all the 3D printed stuff, that is a piece of cake. I have a couple of 3D printers. Already downloaded all the files from Thingiverse for a couple of different blower/vent styles.
