<h3>CHARCOAL GRILL BURN CONTROLLER</h3>
The Burnbot is an automatic controller of the burn of a charcoal grill.
The Burnbot automatically maintains the grill dome at a specified temperature using
a servo controlled vent and blower.
<br><br>
The Burnbot can monitor the temperature of up to 7 different locations in the food or foods being cooked as well as the temperature of the dome.
The BurnBot sends alerts when the grill is near ready and ready for cooking, when the food is near done and done, when the grill dome falls too low (fire dying) or rises too high (fire out of control).
The temperatures at which alerts are triggered can be automatically set based on the type of food and desired doneness as well as manually set and reset during a burn.
<br><br>
The Burnbot is remotely controlled via wifi using a smart phone, tablet or computer with an html5 compliant browser.
Control includes starting a new burn (selecting a grill from a list of grills, a food from a list of foods, assigning probes from a list of probes, setting target temperatures and setting high and low temperatures for triggering alerts), monitoring current burn temperatures, adjusting target, high and low temperatures, plotting burn temperatures.
Foods, pits and probes can be added, edited and deleted and pits and probes can be calibrated.
<br><br>
The mode of operation can be set to "Auto" for normal operation or "Manual" for calibration of pits.
The Burnbot stores data for all burns so they can be reviewed during and after a cook and exported to another computer.
