Justin Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 It is not the daisy wheel mate (I can remove that as per ice advice,it is the adaptor and the spacing doe snot line up with the holes. I am in touch with Pro q. I think it needs this adaptor. I a thinking they have sent the wrong adaptor for 14.5 inch wsm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks at though you have it in hand with the guys & girls @ Mac's now Cheers n Gone Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Macs BBQ just come back and said universal dish is the right adaptor and just bend down tabs and it does not line up perfect but air will get through. Yes but it is is not a good fit the bronze thread nut is supposed to be on the inside of the bowl not outside. I might drill anew bolt hole to make it line up better, the bowl need to shift to the right and down a bit (from the inside of the bowl point of view) so the bolt needs to move left and up a bit as the bolt hole is in the wrong place for 14.5inch WSM They do not stock the right adaptor which is the above, that is the right one double threaded. Not that impressed with Macs to be honest, it is fudge. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I have drilled a new hole and it is better not aligned fully as the daisy wheel tab even when flattened down prevents that, but it will do, lighting up for a test now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 It has topped out at around 117 on 110 target and now dropped to 113 . I need to cover up in bowl hole as air is being drawn in from there a little so can fine tune that tomorrow. But overall impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Dropped to 102.3, fan 100%, so range 102 to 117 on 110. I appreciate the device is learning my wsm and will improve. It is good enough, will put some meat on on it next time! Not getting any graph coming up on my phone though, trying to figure out why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I had this going about 8 hours and it is rock solid I have dialled up to 160 now down to 90. Rock solid. Very impressive and all from my rav pack battery which was half full. Half bowl of water from kettle at start is still just under quarter full. I reckon with a full battery and a full bowl of water I could do a super slow 24hr easy enough. Briquettes were part used from last smoke on wsm I left a arc free of briquettes at vent with SF. All other vents closed including top. I would open top if medium wsm temps and open another bottom vent a bit if high wsm temp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagg2000 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Glad to hear its all come good. I think the single wall of bullet smokers create the temperature variable so +/- 5 def or so of the target temp is good going.

Skindoc Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I am awaiting my refund while I’m posting this but would not have posted this had Mark responded more favorably. I purchased the smart fire 5.0 from Australia, yet I live in the US, based on The review showing there excellent customer service. I’m sure it’s great for the majority but did not work for me regarding Mark. I never used my product once and have already sent it through USPS, sent an email again to give Mark and Monique a heads up yet Mark’s reply was, “When we receive it we'll inspect and process the refund accordingly.” Communication has been difficult because it seems anything I say gets taken offensively. It made me scared about the product and I wanted my money back so I didn’t have to deal with any other thing in the future beyond 30 days. I will post in the future to let you know if I got my money back or not even though I not once used the product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to buy for price adverttised .... would apply as per Trade Descripions Act if it was UK company. Happy to buy at that price but not at £250 ... would get a standard pit controller for £60 instead. Lets hope I'm lucky Update ... I did buy at advertised price, so a good deal.
