Tallbm, Thank you again for this thread. It was way easier than I thought in the beginning. I got it wired up and the Learned the PID programming last Sunday and took it for a test drive. I set it for the max that the Masterbuild controller would do and it got to 275 in about 30 plus minutes...

OK order the PID come in 2 days. I took apart the smoker to preview the wiring. As you can see in the attached photo of my control board my hot wire and neutral wire from the plug are swapped from your photo/example. Since this is AC and Not DC does it matter?? Can I wire per instructions or...

Thanks again, I got the Jest of the project. My connections look different, I will need to trace or continuity test the leads from the heating element. I have to go back and look at the specifics.

Thanks

I have this Masterbuilt chip smoker PN 20075315 and have loved it until last fall when it seemed a probe was not reporting right. Got replacement probe and now it seems the controller is bad because the internal temperature is not registering correctly. I can't get replacement because...
