do you think it works better then the original equipment?
I was wondering with a PID the element is either on or off, I feel like when you set the original temp controller on a certain temp specifically a lower temp that it does not use all of the wattage to heat up,,like I never see the element actually heat up.
So I was wondering if it would be connected to a PID and when it called for heat if the element would heat up hotter which might mean smoke at a lower temperature,
I also hear the down fall with PID type controllers are over shoots when the controller calls for 1st heat up or a big recovery.
can you give me an idea on your take on how it preforms set up this way?
Sorry I am not an electrician, I hope I was able to convey my thoughts well enough for you to understand what I am asking...LOL

Really not sure on the smoke at lower temps but as far as the second part of your question, my feeling is this, the OEM equipment would over shoot by a bunch also, big recovery I don't notice that, but as far the temp... You set it and its like plus or minus 1 or two degress

yeah I hear they keep a much better consistant temperature, I am eventually going to build a natural gas smoker and I am going to control it with a PID with a ramp feature.
Thanks for answering my questions

I was thinking of using a 24v gas valve you would find on your natural gas furnace, and with elctronic igniton, or what they call an intermitten pilot
