So, I was thinking and since I pretty much always use the texas crutch, I had an idea. Why not smoke, then when i would normally wrap in foil, I just inject steam instead?
I dont think there would be much functional difference there, as water saturated air will prevent evaporation and prevent...
I sealed things up better and got 25 more degees out of it. I havent seen anyone use this method, so here is what i did.
First find out where the gaps are. You can use smoke. Alternately, you can use this trick i learned from an old salt. Find some lipstick (every woman has one that shes not...
Well if you have it already, why not use it then. However, keep in mind that you can get a new arduino for around 14$ shipped. I have bought lots of stuff in the past that ended up being really cheap to replace because of falling cost.
Anyway, you are looking at 2-10$ per thermocouple...
Fabricating a smoker isnt a trivial task, especially if you arent familiar with metalwork. I woulnt suggest oxyacetalyne, I use it only for brazing. I'd pick up a cheap flux core wire welder used off craigslist. Or even better, know anyone who has one?
You will also need an angle grinder, eye...
Hmm. Seems the fire is slow to start, then the second row just takes off, even with expanded metal keeping the coals off the side wall.
I think heat is building in the firebox and that makes it easier for more coals to light.
I think Im going to have to seal up the firebox better so I can...
Im new to this, how would a chimney help with the fire speading?
From what I saw, the fire didnt actually spread where i applied the lighter fluid. It seemed to spread under and around the divider toward the middle. I think stacking the charcoal kept the heat in and continued the reaction...
Well, the ash isnt faling through, but the fire is hardly smothered. Im actually having a problem with it burning too hot.
The charcoal has active flames on them and arent just smoldering like they normally do.
I think partly its due to my charcoal loading and partly to the fire jumping the...
No, but I just did an ebay search and it came up with <50 items. A search for arduino came up with 15,000 items.
Arduino looks to be better supported at least on ebay. Propeller may be a superior product (idk) but it will be easier for you if you use off the shelf shields, etc.
Woohoo! I found a bag of charcoal in the garage. So its 6am and im going to burn this out, so maybe I can cook with it today.
Yeah i cheated and used lighter fluid. I do so if im just seasoning, etc.
Hmm. Upon further thought, keeping airspace under the box may be a benefit.
Only one way to find out, Im going to have to try it out tomorrow.
Side view in place.
Top view in place.
Decent air gap underneath, would be better with feet though.
Going to have to get some meat for tomorrow...
Damn, didnt know that. I just welded the heck out of the bottom.
I could always drill some holes in the side down low too.
Was going to put some feet on the bottom to get it up high for good airflow. Ill probably just tack them on just in case I do have to replace the expanded metal. Thanks...
