    Modified MES 30 test run

    Have you tried Auto Tune ? It can give you a good starting point, but from there on if it still overshoots you'll need to do some adjustments. Just to let you know, the PID settings on different brands of PID controllers are not the same. Especially the P setting so read the manual or find a...

    PID controller with smoke schedule and food holding

    This PID controller is from Auber Instruments and has all or most of the features used on the Smokin-it digital electric smokers and the Auber instruments plug and play PID controllers without Wi-Fi. It's just the PID controller so you'd need to be able to build a PID box like a lot of people...

    Smokin-It Digital vs WiFi digital

    You can also build your own Smokin-it style controller that has a 6 step temperature schedule. This unit doesn't have wifi and only one meat probe but is great for sausage and holding food after it reaches internal temp. Cost is $ 80.00...

    Smokin-It Digital vs WiFi digital

    From what I've seen on YouTube you can set the schedules on your phone with the WiFi unit. That alone would sway me. The remote monitoring is nice too.

    Smokintex temperature fluctuation

    Well that's interesting. I wonder if it has something to do with the temp of the actual controller, maybe it's what needs to warm up? 3 hours to warm up seems like a lot of time for an insulated smoker but then again I've never used my electric in that cold of weather. I have an MES digital.

    Supllueer Smoke Generator

    You bought the Supllueer like the one in his picture? If so you're going to be surprised when you get it. They are very well made.

    You will love it. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.

    Supllueer Smoke Generator

    This might sound crazy but you get a different flavor between the Bella's / Smoke Daddy style smoke generators and true cold smoke generators. I guess it has to do with removing a lot of the chemicals and moisture with the cold smoke generator. I use the cold smoke generator for cheese and...

    Supllueer Smoke Generator

    This is an older post but I have that smoke generator. It's very nice. The condensate trap works well and you get clean smoke from it. I put wood chips in a pellet tube, light the top of the tube and set it in the chamber. Keeps it cleaner than putting the chips in without it. I also have a...

    I need a new rig!

    I have both, a pellet grill and an MES. I'm smoking a pork butt right now on the MES because they taste better to me than the ones I have smoked on my pellet grill.

    PID Troubles

    Are you getting any overshoot with those settings?

    MES30 and auber, inaccurate temps?

    That's interesting. What type of probe is your Auber unit using? Is it a 3 wire ?

    Proportional or Linear PID control of electric smoker

    I agree, another reason that I dropped it. But I still see people asking about it so I threw it out there. I agree, the element buffers the PID output so to say. Another reason I didn't go with it. I actually bought a used power controller a cpl of years ago for pennies. Decided on a standard...
