Heh must be catchy. I just pulled a 9 lb brisket off the smoker, beered it up in foil and am getting ready to finish it up along with with some turkey legs and venison sausage.

 

Good to finally have a decent weekend where I'm not working :D

my first time trying to smoke some fattys tho so we will see how they turn out ...

I WISH I could have a decent weekend. I'm out of commission. Good thing I JUST bought a laptop like a month ago. In case anyone needs reminding, allergies really suck.

my weekends stop in Jan ... when my 2 day a week job turns into a 7 day a week 14 hours a day for about 4 months .. (the price to pay for having the summer and fall and half the winter off)

Dude that really sucks. My uncle works at Acadian Ambulance in the shop, and he has 7 on 7 off, and works 12 hours a day.

 

 

the hours suck .. but i am paid all year long ... so it all works out ... and gives me time to relax and have fun during the summer and fall ...

My smoker looks the same as what you have. I think mines a New Brumsfield or something like that smoker. Damm i missed dinner already lol

 

New Braunfels. Mine's the same brand but it's the one with the side stand up smoke box instead of the pit being over the fire, I think it's the Bandera model and I'm actually on my second one because my first one finally burned out over about 9 years :P

 

and I hear you on that weekly thing Devil. Mine get's a helluva lot of use out of it. I'll take some pics after I break down and buy a new camera to replace the one that just crapped out but there are a few actual GM-TC forum members who can attest to my cooking. :rolleyes:

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
