    I think will will try something like this in a couple of months, after I retire. Seriously. It would be a fun project.

    I don't think I want electronics controlling my stove.
    One or two pellets at a time isn't a big risk for the eventual failure of a board, but a couple cubic feet of boiling inferno ? I think not.
