    ok but why aren’t you outside with a beer…pretty sure that’s a part of the meat smokers law

        Seems like we shouldn’t encourage people to live in locations where being outside for 6 months of the year is hazardous

          Not everyone can live in California wine country.

          Most people live where it gets either dangerously hot or dangerously cold for large portions of the year.

            It’s dangerously cold for maybe 10 days during the 3 months of winter where i live (temperaturs below 20F). Far from the 3 months of temperatures that never drop below 95 degrees in Texas. The Midwest, the Rockies, Pacific Northwest, and mid to north Atlantic of the US are all well within normal human habitation ranges.

      I mean that’s what I do when it’s something small, but when it’s something that takes 10+ hours, that’s a lot of beer and standing.

      Though right now I just have an alarm to check it every half hour. Considering wiring up something with an arduino and appifying my meat without any proprietary tech.

        I had the same thought and went with a HeaterMeter, although I haven’t finished building it yet.

        I have a non digital charcoal kettle, and I found good options for blowers and temp control in China.

        It’s a simple fitting that I only use doing very long cooks. Saves all the mucking around with the official stuff
