    MES Rewire Simple Guide - No Back Removal Needed!!!

    I'm catching up on this thread. I saw references to the controller on Amazon, but when I click the link I don't seem to get the actual item. Could someone share the actual link to it? thanks.

    Mighty kind of you, but too far :-)

    That completely clears it up. Thank you very much for sharing all the details!

    Masterbuilt 20070312 too hot and too cold

    That sounds like great advice. If the actual smoker craps out, then I can reuse the PID potentially with a future smoker or something else. One thing I don't get... When I first read about the PID, I thought that it somehow splices into the wiring. But now that I read the instructions a couple...

    Masterbuilt 20070312 too hot and too cold

    Removing the back sounds like a pain and I do see rivets (some screws for a couple plates). So I won't go down that route. The controller sounds like a nice option. After this I also checked prices and it looks like I could get a new one in the sub $300 range so then I balance spending that vs...

    Thanks tnjake and tallbm. That does help because I may just try to live with it, but do you have any suggestions on how to cook with the wide fluctuations? I'll monitor and see if I can set it somewhere where I can get the lowest fluctuations. For example, if I can set it to 180F and it ranges...

    I just tried it again this weekend and set it to 115F. It showed Heating and then ran up to 270F and started to cool down. I then set it to a higher temperature but it wouldn't turn heating on again until it was above the internal temperature (which makes sense). So it seems like the temperature...

    Masterbuilt 20070312 too hot and too cold

    My smoker seems to be fluctuating much more than what the instructions state (that it will fluctuate + or - 10 to 15 degrees as smoker cycles). I have a digital thermometer that I'm pretty sure is accurate and the temp went as high as 400F. What's weird is I'll set it to 190 and if it's not...
