Time for a new graph - Chuck Roast this time

UnConundrum

It's been a while since I posted a graph, and there's a ton of new members, so I decided to do a chuck roast. This hunk of beef was around 13# and I've seasoned with Dizzy Pig's Red Eye Express (That's my personal fav). [p]

If you're interested, you can click here to watch the graph. The egg is currently warming up. The graph will update every 5 minutes or so... Overnight, it will probably plateau around 160 or so. My target finished temp is 185, and target cook temp is 225 - 250 (you can watch that in the graph as well. I don't have the probe in the roast yet. When I insert it, you'll see the pit temp drop as I open the egg, and the internal temp will probably drop as well....[p]BTW, if you're a brisket fan, and never tried a chuck roast, give it a shot. They're great, especially with Red Eye Express

UnConundrum, LOL - I've heard of these people who live in view of an action cam and they walk around nekked even, but your offer to watch the "heat of your meat" is a new one! Where is the StumpBaby when you need him???

UnConundrum,
That's really impressive! I'll be followin' along. Are you using a guru?

UnConundrum

RRP,
There are so many replies..... But.... I'm trying to learn restraint.

UnConundrum

egret,
Yeah, I swear by it.... But the temps on the graph are from my own equipment.

That's some quality entertainment, Warren. Better'n television even.
And if I pay attention, I might even learn something.... [p]My regards to Alf,

We're going to try to make it down to Waldorf, but not sure yet if Alf is coming with. Josh has offered to watch the dogs in which case we'd stay over. If we do a day trip, maybe Alf will join us

UnConundrum,
Fantastic!!!
What are you using for data aquisition?
Are you hard wired or do you have a transmitter?
Do you have any brisket graphs?

UnConundrum

db,
I'm using a handheld device that accepts two probes at a time, and outputs the results by ir. I have a linux box with an ir receiver, that's connected to my network by wifi. The data is stored in a MySql database, and a php app creates the graph and displays it.
I've done briskets in the past, but I haven't stored the data, sorry.

UnConundrum,
Thanks. Looks like a fun project for me to do. If you ever record another brisket cook, I'd like to see it.

UnConundrum,
didnt have to ask about the guru. the ramp feature was obvious in the graph.
i do have a question. the blue line (meat temp) suddenly drops (probe removed) but then it begins to slowly rise?

UnConundrum

JWITHELD,
Our mornings are usually cooler than our mid days. LOL just the ambient temp rising as the probe sat on my egg table. I pulled it off at about 8:00 am.
