What is a PID controller? Sorry, new to this all. I have an old skool Traeger Century 22 that I've had for years. The temps are all over the place, it has rarely reached the actual set temp (regardless of weather) and mows through pellets faster than people through a Walmart door.
I wish I'd...
Nope, I didn't say "I" tried smoking them raw.. :P
And I've made a cold-smoker, as well as use the Amazen tube (and maze).
So I didn't "cold smoke" them, which is what I'm seeing to be the thing to do..
I'll try that, then..
Thanks for all of your inputs!
I know there's quite a few threads here on smoking eggs, etc.. I've googled til my eyes bled, on which is possibly better method..
Smoker @ 225F
A. Smoke unboiled eggs for 1hr, then crack shells (don't peel) smoke for additional 45-60min, dunk in ice water to 'shrink' the egg from sticking...

I've been doing the same thing since '95, so I kinda operate on muscle memory and groundhog-day functionality.
So I tried the shaker once again, yesterday, with dried apple chips. It burned on a handful of ships for about an hour. Couple of things I noticed.. the smoke would change from TBS to a brownish color, off and on.

I'll re-evaluate the design, and see what I can do to make these changes. My soldering iron gave up the ghost in one trial run, so that's out. I've considered using 1/2 a charcoal briquette + pellets or chips, but my concern is the amount of heat I was getting...
Would it matter that my enclosure is wooden construction, putting the tin can flush to it (referencing the heat factor)? Nice Paint artwork, btw! :yahoo:
You can see the dark brown moisture dripping from the outmet, as well as running down from the shaker's cap. I dunno what to do to help with the moisture issue choking the fire out and causing very unclean burn..
