Yes it’s not the gfci unfortunately

Yes a gfci so you don’t think building a PID controller yourself that went straight to the heating element would be better? What do you gain by making the wire configuration of the original wire set up on the smoker and then plugging the original power cord into the auber. Just weighing out the...

So how do you know what generation masterbuilt I have and I see you recommend an a auber PID but which one or does it matter? When I look up PID’s online/Amazon there is an unlimited amount to pick from.
