Using Old Linksys Routers to Control BBQ Smokers

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-out-the-brisket-page dept.

mache writes "It's scary when you find two completely unrelated areas that you are passionate about merged. It happened to me with BBQ and hacking home network infrastructure. People have taken old Linksys WRT54G (and their derivatives) routers and made them into automatic temperature controllers for BBQ smokers. They support Wi-Fi and even have a web browser to monitor progress."

    Do these routers support Quality of Smoke? Pulled Pork Tunneling Protocol?

    Why on earth is this under idle? Isn't this the type of thing that everyone on here cries about not being on Slashdot?

    We're talking about Barbecue here son. This is serious. Now, run along and go bother somebody's cable modem, kid.
