    PID Troubles

    I have a Backwoods Smoker G2 in which I recently built a PID controller common on other forums connected to a 1800 watt smoker heating element. I can never get it to reach the higher temps (260-275F) without crashing back into the low 200s. Ive tried AutoTune but it take hours to get over 240...

    ...Had the upper shelf. IMO: They are a quality built grill. Why? SS grates ,SS Drip pan SS Burner pot. Double walled unit, Holds the HEAT! Wifi PID: Has a few adjustments for Auger Adj, RTD Comes with Probes. Hopper holds a decent amount for long smokes, overnights should not be an issue. In...

    Electric Smoker Temperature Controller

    I'd first work with the member that sold you the PID on go to settings he uses. If your'e having to wait to get to set temp but holds fine when it gets there I bump temp up 30 degrees and reset temp when it gets there pre heating, when food is put in or if you have to open the door. I figured...

    Smokin It Pro series 3.5 does not work in cold

    I'm surprised you're getting such wild temp swings considering it has an Auber PID for temp control. Have you tried different settings with the PID?Here are some threads about PID settings with the Auber,though these threads deal with them using with a MES this should still be of help to you...

    Is this a good deal??

    C'mon over the the PID side!!! The $50 you save and spend on a PID controller and doing the MES rewire would be a great investment, plus you add a "D" to the end of your name here and you become the pid guy!!! :D As you can tell I am biased but there is plenty of evidence as to why I I'm on big...

    Modified MES 30 test run

    Well I finally have my MES 30 a test run. My mailbox mod ran well. Didn’t seem to add heat and the smoke is steady. Added a side shelf to hold the pid. The only issue I’m having is temp overshoot. I do have an aftermarket element. Probably too big. Does everyone using a MES 30 use the supplied...

    New to the forum, but not to smoking

    ...power is good to the unit and no circuits are blown inside the house, etc. etc. I have been hearing that there are a lot of people discussing PID controllers and I’m looking to find the details because when I search for Auber PID controller on Amazon, I don’t get one item I get a whole list...

    Smoker Purchase Suggestion

    While they won't go to 350 the Smokin-It PID smokers will go to 325F. Not too far from 350.

    PID mod on other smokers? larger option?

    So it seems like the way to go on this website is MES with PID. Does anyone have other recommendations specifically for sausage.. my issue is that 10lbs is a very small amount of sausage to do at a time... But it looks like the pellet grills dont go lower than 180f? Some look like they say 150...

    MES MB20071619 Temp accuracy

    ...therm is letting the heat run wild , and the limit is doing it's job . You would have to run a chamber probe and try to figure out at what temp it cycles off and back on . By passing all the factory controls and adding a PID controller is the way to go , but not everyone has the money to do...

    MES in freezing temps

    I smoked pepperoni, salami and ham sausage yesterday in the Masterbuilt Electric. I was around 0 def F outside. It took a little longer to get it up to temp. I also had hubby build me an external fire box using a baby weber grill with an metal tube out the top vent & secured to the MES. Just...

    PI Controller project

    Hey take a look at schematic for Heatermeter. I built one a few years back. Not sure what comparator he used. But maybe it'll help you out. I built ver 4.3 still working today. don't use the wifi just as a PID. RG https://github.com/capnbry
