Stoker frustration

Unknown · October 2009

set my stoker on 220 last night after putting a brisket on. Woke up to check things twice and both times, grate temps were off. Once it was 270 and two hours later the temp was 158. What's the deal? Usually the stoker keeps things spot on for me. What say you?

Is your fan oriented correctly? Wires on top? I'm not a big instruction reader and that bit me of my first cook.
If your fan is upside down, it can never block the air completely. You'll get a small draft going thru the smaller fan hole.
This could explain the high temperature...but not the low. You didn't say what happened to your fire after the temp drop.

everything hooked up ok, the only thing I can think may have happened is that the fan door may have been sticking up?? or possibly it over shot too much and almost choked out the fire on way back down and "so-on and so-on"? Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Thanks..

I would test your probes in boiling water. I can't say I have had any issues with my stoker.I assume you are using stokerlog?

No, I don't have a "stoker log". I don't have it hooked up to the internet as the grill is about 75 feet from my router and I don't have a cable that long nor know how to really hook things up to make it interactive. I just push the buttons to put on the settings I want.

For good CAT-5 cable at a cheap price, see monoprice.com and then you can hook up your Stoker to your router. Just a thought...

just get a wireless adapter. It works great for me.
