For the ceramic users here, any tips in getting things stable. I tend to have poor stablility (cycles +/- 5 degress most of the time).
Do you light the fire and let the stoker bring things up to temp?
How do you set your top vents?
Thanks,

Steve, are you using any sort of splitters on your cables or do you have the fan, pit probe and any meat probes plugged directly into the Stoker unit? When I was using some splitters to plug the fan and pit probe in then running a long cable back to the Stoker (so only 1 port on the Stoker was being used), I used to run into this same problem. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
No. They are plugged directly into the stoker. I think it has more to do with how I build the fire, set the top vents, and how the air is flowing thru the cooker. Sometimes it is very stable, other times it runs a nice sine wave of +-5 degress.
