🔥🔥🔥 Smokin' .NET to Perfection! 🔥🔥🔥 Building a smart wood pellet smoker with Raspberry Pi and .NET Core

Wood pellet smokers are great for barbecue, but sometimes it’s hard to get them to hold a steady temperature without over-correcting and overcooking the food.

Come see how I solved this problem with my smoker by building a custom controller using Raspberry Pi and .NET Core!

Kansas City, Missouri, the Paris of the Plains, is known for jazz, culture, history, fountains… and especially barbecue! Every Kansas Citian has strong opinions on which local BBQ joint is best and which spices and sauces to use when barbecuing at home. Those who are truly serious about barbecue invest in their own smoker.

So what does a Kansas City geek do when his wood pellet smoker isn’t performing up to expectations?

Come see how I created a custom controller for my wood pellet smoker using .NET Core, a Raspberry Pi, and a soldering iron. The result is a smoker that’s smarter about how it cooks your food. It notifies you when your food is cooked or if there’s a problem with the fire. You’ll leave this session with your curiosity satisfied, but your hunger for ribs piqued!

I’ll cover:

• The hardware I used.
• An industrial process algorithm in .NET Core.
• Using the cloud to securely monitor and control this IoT device.
• My secret rib recipe^*.

^* Not really.

I’m super excited to showcase this. The project is here and an album of hardware progress pics is here.
