DIY Arduino Meat Thermometer
This is the second video in the DIY sausage smoker series. It shows you in detail how to make an Arduino powered meat thermometer. This is the first step in building the controller for the sausage smoker we're going to build. This is a useful device in and of itself. You can use it anytime you're making meat, whether that's on the BBQ pit or reverse searing steaks in the oven.

This video shows that it is possible to convert a manual sausage stuffer to electric. This was the first run using a planetary gearbox to get enough torque out of an electric motor to run the stuffer. A full build will be following with significant motor control improvements. Stay tuned!

    Hi, Darren. I am building two smokers. Much like you, I am adding a controller. More to the point, I am having a company build one for me. I really like your concept here. The delta is really what I am looking to have. The only difference is mine will have Wi-Fi monitor and control. You mentioned that you are deciding on what you will use for the smoker. May I suggest a bread proofer? I recently purchased two for 100.00 each. The elements no longer work, so I was able to get them really cheap. The boxes are insulated and have adjustable shelves. What really made me choose this direction was convection. The boxes have an element and fan box in the bottom that butts against a conduit that runs all the way up the back of the box. There are vents all the way up to distribute heat. My plan is to install the controller and a new element. The controller will have a rheostat to control the fan. I will also use thin metal to cover the vents in the riser conduit to block the vents I do not wish to blow hot air. You can imagine all of the benefits of using this type of box. Additional to the mentioned are: It is already on casters. It already has a temperature gauge in the door. It should already be wired. And, as mentioned, it is insulated stainless steel with adjustable aluminum rails. I used a plasma cutter to trim the shelf rails as they are for cookie sheets and are too big. I am currently using one with a smoke generator as a cold smoke box. The next step being to make it into a full-blown smoker. I look forward to your progress on this as having a controller built is very expensive. I am doing this as a hobby. 600+ dollars is quite a lot for non-commercial use. If you would like photos of my box, I would gladly share.

      A proofer cabinet makes a great smoker! I've been looking for cheap ones around me, but they're not super easy to find. My plan currently is to build a smoker out of wood so anyone can do it. I was going to release the next step video (an arduino meat thermometer) in the smoker build today, but the video was really bad so I'm having to redo it all. I'll put it out in a few days. Once the thermometer is made, it's not much more work to turn it into a smoker controller, which will be the next video in the series. I'm going to give everyone all the code, so you'll be able to do it all yourself. As a side note, it's not hard to make an arduino wifi connected and have that run everything and serve up a web page that you can follow and even adjust things. I did it a number of years ago, but I ended up having problems with it if it couldn't connect to the wifi. I wanted my controller to be bulletproof so I got rid of the wifi.

    • @thechefprepper
      @thechefprepper 8 днів тому

      @DMC_MD i would love to explore the addition of wifi (35 year IT director here). I have Jr level C# code experience. I would love the ability to use the wifi to simply set the initial programming and then monitor. I think most of the PIDs only allow 6 steps, but that would still get the job done.

    • @DMC_MD
      @DMC_MD 8 днів тому

      @ I'm going to put all the code up as soon as I finish the controller, so you'll be able to modify it as you wish. You could easily hook it up to wifi if you want. Right now I'm finishing up the stuffer, so the smoker controller will be a few weeks before I do another video on it, and that one will be attaching a Mosfet, a rotary encoder, and a relay to it.
