    PID Controller

    Thanks for the information. Thats exactly what I am worried about to be honest. Canadian customs are highway bandits. So I am correct in my understanding that Auber is the only way to go here?

    How is the Inkbird PID? I am running a Smokintex1460 and find that the temp swings are pretty bad. I have heard the Auber is good, but I cannot get one and its like 3x the price of the Inkbird. Nice rig btw!

    Ok that all makes sense. Thanks agaij for taking the time. As for inkbird, I see many different products. Is there a specific unit for this specific function or will any temp controller be sufficient?

    That sounds like a nightmare. It seems like no matter where we are the municipality/county is always trying to bend us over a barrel.
