    40" Masterbuilt Propane - Mailbox mod, terrible draft

    I was having trouble keeping my A-MAZE-N pellet burner lit, so I did the mailbox mod.  After doing the mod, I still was having trouble keeping it lit and never saw the thin blue smoke coming from the back opening of the smoker.  I had several ideas as to what the issue is, but what it ultimately...

    Deer Link Sausage in a Fatty

    My father-in-law is coming to visit this weekend and he's bringing a good bit of deer sausage links with him.  I was going to make a fatty this weekend with cheese and tater tots in it, but now I'm thinking I should put a deer sausage link in it.  Two questions... What would go well with deer...

    Smokin'Pi - Automated Propane Smoker Controller and Q-View!

    I'm using a few libraries that other have written, but the meat of the code is mine.  I thought about starting with the Heatermeter code, but it uses an Arduino.  I wanted this to be all done on the RPi.  I've never written programs to run on Linux systems, or run multiple threads so a lot of...

    carmel apple shoulder!!

    Adding a photo to a post is pretty simple. Get it on your computer, assuming you have a digital camera of some sort.  While you're typing a post, look just above where you're typing the text and you should see some buttons.  From left to right they are font size, font color, bold, italics...

    Smokin'Pi - Automated Propane Smoker Controller and Q-View!

    The servo can close the valve and shut off the gas completely, but at the moment I don't allow it to close all the way.  I'm not sure yet just how low I can allow it to go before the flame shuts off, and on the first run of using the Smokin'Pi, I didn't want it to keep killing it unnecessarily...

    Smokin'Pi - Automated Propane Smoker Controller and Q-View!

    Thanks!  As I make significant (interesting) code improvements, I'll post updates about the project.  I have been working on the code this morning, but it is mainly in stuff that no one would care about...things such as reducing CPU usage (it was pegged at 100% for 9 hours yesterday and that may...

    That much smoke is a bad thing?  I get something like that every time I open my smoker, even if all I have leaking out is TBS.  Stings my eyes, but I haven't had any meat come out tasting anything less than delicious so far.  Maybe I just haven't had good meat yet?

    What is sticky?

    Here in Texas, it's hard to imagine that not everything revolves around meat!

    Smokin'Pi - Automated Propane Smoker Controller and Q-View!

    I purchased a Raspberry Pi and received it about a week ago.  If you're not familiar with the Raspberry Pi, it is basically a full blow Linux computer and about the size of a credit card.  I've added an ADC IC to the board and gave it the capability to monitor up to 10 temperature sensors.  I...
