Minimize Welcome....From the Geek!
 

Two of my favorite hobbies in this world are computer programming and barbecue.  This place is what happens when the two hobbies meet.  When I first started smoking meat on a regular basis, I got tired of babysitting the smoker all night long.  As a result I've spent the last couple of years learning about temperature control and have built a few systems that allow me to control my smokers from my computer.

 

This site will chronicle all of these processes and at some point provide the opportunity to share them.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Yea, I'm still here.  I just noticed that it was nearly a year since I last posted to the blog.  I've been getting tons of messages on the comment line lately and has been a nice treat talking to each of you.  Thanks for taking the time to leave messages.  As for the control project, I've been tweaking stuff in the background, but haven't made much progress getting the shareware copies out yet.  As the smoking season starts ramping up (I never stopped, not sure about you guys) I'll try to get something wrapped up for the general public.

As for the web site, I've started to add some of the recipes that I have posted on various forums.  Take a look and let me know what you think,

Lately I've been working on a massive program change to the original BBQ Command Center application.  I'm trying to make the program easier to use and show more information on one screen.  Below is what I have gotten done thus far.  It currently operates an unlimited number of BBQ pits and will read an unlimited number of temperature probes.  I'll add more details in the software section as they develop...

I'm really working hard to make the control software freely available to the public.  In order to do that, the web site needs to support itself financially.  If you are interested in the work we are doing here at Geek With Fire, support the site and buy a shirt, a coffee mug, or even a BBQ apron over at Cafe Press:

Today, I added a survey at the home page to get a feel for what folks think about temperature control.  I've also added several other things since my last post.....
