Does anybody know of a way to to be able to monitor box temps and meat temps from the DBS on a computer or even better through e-mail. Any help would be great.
SmokinScott,
I wrote Maverick asking for information on the wireless protocol to do exactly what you ask. Unfortunately, they were not able to help me. I have a 433 MHz receiver to look at the bit stream, but it is pretty complicated and not obvious what encoding protocol they are using (let alone the information protocol). The encoding does not look like Manchester, so I am having a hard time working with it.
This project is in the same league as my smoking: I do not have the answer and will drink adult beverages and experiment for 15 years to figure it out. :D :D :D
The end game was a window on the PC (or TV watermark) that reported out the temps.

I don't know a lot about it but couldn't you setup a wireless web cam pointed at your DBS and maverick 73 then view it anywhere you have internet access?
Just a thought
Mike
;D My son would crap. ::) :D :D :D Great Idea!
That way we could all check in on how things are going on a smoke!
Give a whole new meaning to showing off your butt! :o
Mike
And we could call you if we don't see the beer go by the monitor every 20 minutes or so.
Looks like he passed out again, must be time for another! ;D
LMAO :D :D :D :D ;D
Mike
Ok Mike, waiting for the posting of your installation pictures. ;D I really cant afford to risk going first on this ;) ... NePa ???
Ok... I have to quit thinking about this now! ::)
But... It would be really cool though! 8)

Should work fine, as long as you have a "Firewall" installed!(http://www.emotipad.com/newemoticons/Eeeeeek.gif)(http://www.emotipad.com/newemoticons/ROFL.gif)

That would be a nice accessory. My weather station works on 433 MHZ, and the computer software that I have would be able to display the temperatures for the smoke period in graph form.
SmokinScott;
For now the only thing I can think of is to use a web cam, or security camera that can hook up to your PC or Mac, and focus the lens on your display.
I found a place that has this device http://rocksbarbque.com/index.html
Pretty impressive to have Ethernet connectivity in a package for $150. Bang-bang controller for the blower, but still a nice package.
Sparkler
Very impressive. That just rienforce my notion that no idea is a new idea.

On my next smoke you will all be able to watch my smoker via the www. I will post the link when its all set up and ready. Going to do some test viewings first before a smoke. ;D
A smoker, bbq'er and an IT guy :D :D :D

Now, if we can punch a VPN tunnel to the smoker and transport jerky, O and I will be truly impressed...

Is that a jerky worm hole :D..........dont tell ap

what you need is the the Laser comm conversion utility. use a high power 1.5 Ghz Laser thru the Jerky to a Laser Comm recepter that accepts 1.5 Ghz and converts that to standard IP packets to a internet router. Then send those to a remote site with a 1.5 Ghz Laser Transmitter pointed to a magnetized plazma field of equal matter density and it should replicate some of the laser sent data.
hmm. Maybe you need to neutralize the plasma aura of the transmitted material before lasing it. Might ensure a better recombination of the resulting material properties.

IKW: I am sure we can try this when you arrive at Livermore. I will get them to retune the NIF to the right frequency....

sheesh
all that makes my cunooder valve all clogged up and my flux capacitor blow an a$$ gasket ;D

I will look forward to it NePa.

Way, to step up NePa, :) were counting on ya man ;D knew you would come through on this. 8)
IKW aaahhh but :-X ok then.
Dang!!! Right in the middle of all this and my "Right handed fleebasibarex meter on the left handed dubbasarry side of the BS factor" broke again!!! Geez whiz guys I just hate it when that happens :o :D ;D
Just use that burbonized confectionalization with sweat powderization to help fix that. Or just try some Rum and Coke, that seems to fix most.
