+ANOTHER ARDUINO BBQ SMOKER
+==========================
+
+This is going to be a temperature monitor inspired by this Homebrew Temperature Monitor/Controller project (http://hruska.us/tempmon/ and http://hruska.us/tempmon/BBQ_Controller.pde).  The first milestone is to build a temperature monitor thing that reads temperature from Maverick probes and displays them on an LCD with stats and stuff.  The second milestone is to adjust the temperature somehow (?).
+
+I'm just a Java programmer with no electronics hardware experience.  There is a Fritzing schematic that shows the current state of the build.
+
+Parts List
+==========================
+* Arduino Uno
+* 1x Switchcraft TR2A Rev E 2.5mm jack
+* 1x 22k resistor
+* 1x Maverick probe
+
+Notes:
+==========================
+* The Fritizing schematic shows a 3.5mm jack instead of a 2.5mm jack.  The 2.5mm jack (Switchcraft TR2A Rev E) has three connectors: #1 tip terminal, #2 shunt terminal, #3 sleeve terminal.  The #1 tip and #2 shunt terminals go to ground.
