Just put on a 9lb prime rib roast. The temps got away on me, but things should settle down nicely soon.

Looking good. How do you theme your heatermeter? I just got done building mine a week ago. Just got my thermoworks probes in today so I can start up my turkeys tomorrow morning. Man these probes are so much better built than the maverick or igrill ones. Can't wait to start it up! I'm just using heatermeter to monitor temp since I have a traeger.
 
I've just started a Thermocouple vs Thermistor test cook

Started from cold, let it climbs to 225. Raised it to 350 then eventually brought it down to 150 overnight and then back up to 225 in the morning. About 23 hours total time.

Eager to see any tuning tips you guys may have here, been a while but I've been cooking and loving heatermeter.

Setup:
Primo Oval XL
Control, stock intake vent on servo with wide range of control. Top exhaust vent fixed.
Settings:
B: 0
P: 3
I: .008
D: 8

Seems the fluctuation cycle is a bit rapid. I usually leave the top vent wide up to temp the. Clamp it down to about 15% open from there. I'd like to see less up and down and more of a flat line on the grill temp.

Again, no fan here, just intake vent control
 
Just put on a couple of 5lb pork butts.

Cook complete. I shouldn't have tinkered with the temps, taking it from 225F to 220F, that just stopped cooking the meat. It's still all good though.

I guess my ET-73 probe was too close to the edge of the heat deflector, it looked to be running pretty hot at time, whereas the TC probe was pretty stable.

Just built my first hetermeter over the holidays. Here is my first "test fire" using about 1/2 lb of Stubb's charcoal and no water pan:

and here is my first "real" use of the HeaterMeter smoking baby backs using the water pan and following the "BRITU" recipe:

I was getting ready to post a link to follow my live cook for the remainder of today and I realized that I have no idea how to actually do it. Do I just post the IP address? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Discovered the brisket had frozen in the meat fridge, so had to run out and grab a couple of 5# pork butts. Running at 250 today to make up some time.

Tom,

You are correct. You need to make sure that your home router is set up to forward the request to your heatermeter.

Sign up for dynamic dns account like this one, it translates the ip address your ISP gives into the hostname you select. The next stage to adjust your router so that anyone entering your hostname gets directed to the heater meter homepage. To do this enter your router's config and look for a section called port fowarding. Open this and there should be a part to create or add a rule. There may be a drop down to select protocol, here you want http and then the ip address of the heater meter and finally the port number 80. Save this and you may have to reboot your router. If everything works when you type in the hostname it will go to your heatermeter home page.
