    MYPIN TA4 PID manual, programming instructions and general PID/SSR info - by request

    I found the problem; There was no contact between the inside circuit board to the outside terminals to 'out1 ssr'. I filed and put some goo on the inside clip. Now it works like a champ.

    MYPIN TA4 PID manual, programming instructions and general PID/SSR info - by request

    On mine (TA7) the AL1 is a relay contact. I need the proportional control, so using the AL1 relay won't help. This is a new install. What I would like to know if someone has this running, what is your voltage of the 'out1 SSR'?

    Sorry my terminology is incorrect. That is fine if it times on/off instead of variable voltage. But right now it's not doing either, that is the largest issue.

    The hysteresis is too high invictaslave.

    I would like some help with the mypin controller. I want to run this on proportional, in other words, the voltage output varies with the demand. I'm using a 3-32DCV SSR. I'm not sure what the controller settings should be, but here is the current settings that seem relevant, most are controller...

    My insulation and door seals (thermal camera pic)

    Yup, that is plain old house drip flashing. There is only paint on it, that may or may not burn/smoke, I'll do an empty test run first. If it burns/smokes, I'll torch it to burn the rest of the paint off. There is some drip flashing that is galvanized or is painted over galvanized, I wouldn't...

    My insulation and door seals (thermal camera pic)

    A pan won't work for several reasons, liquid drips from every square inch, no way to put a pan in to provide full coverage that won't block heat/smoke and catch all the liquid. As well with a pan I would have to open the door and empty multiple times (approx 6 litters), with this system I empty...

    My insulation and door seals (thermal camera pic)

    Well, that was a disaster, about an hour in, I had a big grease fire. These smokers are not designed to handle 50 pounds of chicken. Everything just drips to the burner. In the past cooking with other methods I get aprox 6 litters of liquid from 50 pounds, so I designed a liquid remover system...

    Thanks, my mod will last the lifetime of the smoker, it cost me under $20 to do. Thanks, I find leg racks too expensive and don't utilize space well. I posted this here for all to use.

    The rack mod came out pretty good, I ended up using channel locks to start it and a pipe to finish it off. I can hang 48 leg quarters and it has air space around them. I moved one rack to the top for hanging. That is a Korean BBQ in the bottom for a drip pan, heat/smoke flows right though...
