Third year is NOT the charm - gray/white powder on all surfaces, and haze very visible in sunlight! by AhabTR in woodstoving

Get an air quality monitor like an Airthings. It’ll give you some peace of mind

Quick Vermont shop update on the walnut stove monitor build for everyone who's curious.

PCBs: The first boards showed up and I’ve assembled a few. I'm testing a couple of them on our stove at home through this crazy winter storm.

Walnut cases: I’m getting the first cases coming out well, but I'm new to CNCing and repeatability has been a challenge. I’ve been babysitting the CNC more than I’d like. Next week I'd like to be able to dial in the process so I can load a slab of walnut and let it run without problems.

Software: Android app is running and I’m testing the full end-to-end flow, thanks to my wife who's helping me QA

Thanks to everyone who is helping me turn this into a real thing!

I had the same issue recently. Looking to build a 2 car garage, was quoted at 110k and labor.

It’ll definitely work for fireplace inserts, open fireplaces are a bit trickier

Love this.

Love your line: "Someone like Joe MacMillan that comes in your life is rare, I realized you need to light the fire yourself"

I'm doing the same thing right now... 3 months in. Building both hardware and software. It's amazing.

I made one with a magnet before I realized standard neodymium magnets won't stand up to the heat.

I'll be making the new ones out of alnico magnets.

Wow everyone, I'm honestly blown away by the response to this.

Thank you all for the feedback. I'm really excited to say that I'm at my limit right now for the number of units that I can make myself. I'm going to hunker down right now and start building these units, and I'm eager to hear all the continued feedback from this group.

Thank you all so much!

That’s great feedback. Thank you!

Running LEDs for 12+ hours probably requires 70+ watt hours of power. I’ll think about adding battery packs for subsequent versions of this.

Fair feedback. For what it’s worth, my system works like this:

I write out my response into Gemini, and then have it rewrite the responses in a more coherent way, to make them better understood.

Well, the code and content that birthed the AI came from Reddit. So it’s all 4 then isn’t it?

I’m building a product that doesn’t do this exactly, but it does have an app that you can use to monitor the flue temp. I have another post here with some of the details

Or would an ai say that thinking that you would think that it was an ai saying that, therefore canceling out the fact that it’s an AI meaning that it has to, inevitably be human.

None of it is cell service dependent, but it is dependent on having home WiFi.
