There are alot of variables that can come into play if an Temp controller will work or not.pr0wlunwoof wrote:Has anyone tried to use a Heatermeter or any other digital control to regulate airflow/temperature in their reverse flow? If so can you give me a rundown of fan/cubic Feet Per minute etc on your setup.
Thanks,
If you are a using on a stick burner, then most likely it won't work very well, as you need to continuously open the door to feed in wood and each time that adds air to the fire causing the Heatermeter to work hard to control the temperature.
If you are going to use charcoal, then you need to make sure all air leaks are sealed and it's as stable as you can get it before using any controller.
Blower size. You will probably need a bfb1012hh sized blower it's a 28cfm blower. I use one on my UDS, but only at a maximum of 30%, which would be about 8.4cfm.
A temp controller can work on any setup as long as it's a stable setup. I would not recommend it on a stick burner
