    Swapping PID in older Pit Boss 820

    Not sure how this turned out for you, but I wanted to mention checking eBay some. I looked once or twice a day for about 2-3 weeks and ended up finding a RecTec wifi controller for 65 bucks.

    Cheap stable controller

    For anyone interested, turning the P setting down did help a little, but as it got colder it seemed to help less. I did end up getting a RecTec wifi controller on eBay, and it looks to be working very well when comparing to my Tappecue.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Have you ever heard of someone using the Grilla controller in a pit boss? I just ask because I'm trying to figure out if I'd need the RTD probe from them as well. I don't mind getting creative with the wires, I just didn't know if every RTD probe works with every...

    Cheap stable controller

    Hey all, I have a PB 820D3 and I love the grill features, but the temp swings can be pretty bad even after patiently adjusting my P setting for each cook (50-70 degree swings). It is also consistently 20-25 degrees hotter than the controller believes when putting a temp probe right beside the...
