    Terra Cotta Smoker (Flower Pot) and Heatermeter 4.0, or pid if I blow up raspberry pi

    Well I'm sitting here cooking some q! Finally. I started easy with some brined chicken breasts. Got some bricks and made a stand inside the smoker to hold the grate (cheapo). Pictures of Q and grate to come. Heater meter parts still on backorder.

    Terra Cotta Smoker (Flower Pot) and Heatermeter 4.0, or pid if I blow up raspberry pi

    Got the smoker fired up tonight! Had it rough wired up on the "test bench". Slowly heated it up and auto tuned it. Held steady +/- 3 deg. Works great and heated to 300+. Tomorrow I'll wire it up permanently and try to find a wood chip holder, maybe a pizza grate too. Then some q...

    Terra Cotta Smoker (Flower Pot) and Heatermeter 4.0, or pid if I blow up raspberry pi

    progress was made this weekend! Smoker Got the generic big box handle installed this weekend. Drilling the terra cotta was extremely easy. Water helped a bunch, just let it pool up near your drill bit and go slow like in the pictures. It did help to drill a pilot hole and then enlarge the...
