Stokers Data to Excel to Graph
I guess I was up a little late last night as that's when I start thinking crazy thoughts...
I wrote an Excel macro to get the data from my Stokers every 10 minutes. I can then graph and keep my cooks recorded. I just started running it on my boston butt cook that is already at 15 hours so I won't get much data recorded but next time.

They make temperature data loggers that come with software that will do this for you. I use one at work when necessary to check water temperatures. I am not sure if they make one that works in the Egg, never looked for one.BrianFairview, Texas

I started an Excel file, get data, web page and entered my IP for the Stoker. From there I made a macro to delete the extra data I didn't want and did a loop every 10 minutes.
I will modify the page layout some as the newest data is populating in cell A1 and it moves all other data to the right.

It needs some mods but this is what the Excel file shows me and at every 5 minutes. I'm using two meat temps and one pit temp.

That's cool but did you know there is a program called Stoker Log that graphs all the temps and lets you make adjustments, send text alerts, etc?
