    Added valves plus PID controller to propane smoker

    Here's the controller i current use. The wifi feature is great for monitoring smoker temperature from my couch and not have to get up. https://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14_27&products_id=656

    Added valves plus PID controller to propane smoker

    Not sure of other PID controllers but the one i used has a relay built into the output. I believe it's a 12v 1a output which happens to be the same as the input of the solenoid.

    Added valves plus PID controller to propane smoker

    yes it basically sits in between the regulator/tank and the burner. the solenoid is controlled by the PID and manages propane flow to maintain the set temperature. the hose that bypasses the solenoid is always on and is used to maintain a temperature just slightly below the set temperature; i...

    Added valves plus PID controller to propane smoker

    it should work as long as you're using a low pressure regulator. you'd need everything in the first pic except the needle valve.

    Expert Grill Heavy Duty 24-Inch Charcoal Grill?

    That was kind of my plan too, if I bought one of these grills was to use a separate charcoal tray or firebox to better contain the charcoal. At $97 this grill seems like a winner. Hoping to see some on end of season clearance sale but no luck so far.

    Rethinking Smoked Almonds

    @johnmeyer i want to try this, but was wondering if you can taste the JD at all? in another post, i think you said in the end all you can really taste is the salt and smoke. i'm trying to avoid sugar and the JD, so if in the end you can't even taste them, my plan was to skip them altogether and...

    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    The masterbuilt propane smoker burner is a low pressure burner under 1psi. The bayou classic that you bought is a high pressure regulator. It'll work but don't expect the built in needle valve to give you that much fine control.

    Help on a pellet smoker

    have you considered electric? but a lot of those guys end up using pellet trays to generate smoke, so you're back to the issue of not getting enough smoke flavor out of pellets. i'm obviously biased because i love my propane smoker, but propane could be another option. it gets hot enough to...

    Pretty good APP for finding sale pricing

    bumping this back up. i've had this app on my phone for awhile but never really used it. i'm finding the keyword search feature is a huge time saver. i wish they had a notification/alert feature for keywords, so it would alert me if "brisket" ever goes on sale.

    New to me, free Masterbuilt

    you should know that propane tank valves are designed to either be fully opened or closed. opening them part way increases the chance of a propane leak.
