Fuel Usage (StokerLog)

[Mark P.]

I have been having a lot of fun with Stokerlog since getting my Stoker. Can anyone explain what the Fuel Usage indicator is measuring, and how to interpret it? For example, if it reads 6%, dose that mean that the fan has been running 6% of the time that Stokerlog has been running?

Mark,
I think it works exactly as you described in your post (percentage of time the fan has been running).

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the help. In a 1.5hr cook at 300 degrees, Stokerlog tells me the fan ran 8% of the time. That includes the time taken to bring the Egg to temperature as well as the boost up to 325 degrees for the last 10 minutes of the cook. I'll be intersted to see how that statistic changes over different cooks.
