Not got all bits n pieces yet - but I got my fire basket going.
Also have my blower which is battery operated. Will interface it to the arduino via a relay. I've been spending a fair bit of money on this - in the end I could probably have got a wsm
Yes the fire basket is that big. Hopefully not too big - will see!
Here is the blower I got:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/outdoor-bb ... -aa-133046Has a 22mm SS pipe to interface to the UDS. Will need a 22 to 15 reducer.
As his will be totally fan operated, I will only have one hole in it - a 15mm one at the bottom. At the top I'm thinking of using the weber lid, but it is not an exact fit.
Once this is done, I will need to do some careful burns to see how oscilate the blower to keep temperatures steady. There is some PID code for arduino - but I'm going to keep it simple at first.
I'm in no rush.
