Ok as many know I have the MES 30 with the arbor pid- it works great - for 10 lbs or less. I’d like to be able to smoke 20 lbs at a time. What would be a good step up and still use the pid?

...coarse you don't have to get as fancy on the controll panel... https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/metzgermeister-schloss.157021/page-3 Also.. This is the PID I use... It has a 30 step ramp/spoak feature...

Yes the TC would sense the flame and if it blows out would shut off the gas supply. I read that thread yesterday and should be a great help. Inda, I like that bypass idea. Should be able to add a needle valve to control the low flame on the loop around the valve controlled by the pid.

I see there's lots of electric smoker mod threads. A bunch using a PID controller which is cool. Just so happens I used build electronic devices, and while I usually did it the hard way, I recently bought my very first Arduino. ( Had to build new controls for a coal stove using one). It just...

Anyone have any issues with an MES maintaining temp in below freezing temps? Thinking about smoking some sausage tomorrow but temp will be single digits outside. I have an auber pid by the way.

I did 50# summer sausage in my MES 40 PID ,mailbox ( took long time though, almost too much)

I'm not your guy on this, but I can assure someone will chime in soon with great advice. I did the MB40 with PID and it works very well, but I'm also not sure I'd do it that way again. I went cheap because I wanted to prove to myself that I'd enjoy sausage making enough to invest, so I totally...

Hey guys. I have a MES 30 cabinet that I modified with an Inkbird PID and different burner and use the mailbox mod for smoke. The only issue I am having is the when hanging summer sausage or snack sticks the bottom (closer to burner) is cooking faster than the top. I tried a fan to even out...

Thank you. That is alway a good reminder. Luckily the valve assembly I have is mechanical and contains a seperate safety circuit for flame monitoring.

HI from the NJ shore! Did you use the Pro Mode using the cook? Pro mode is the SMOKE Mode. If it says PID, you did not use the PRO mode. I have a Grilla Chimp

Time to get an Auber PID and bypass all the electronics on the controller panel. Will make a much better smoker for you with more controllable temps. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/mes-rewire-simple-guide-no-back-removal-needed.267069/ Many of us run this unit...

Thank you, appreciate this info!

...brutal. The 2nd type of stall, with sausage and cured stuff has kicked my butt a LONG time. Combination of warming product up prior to smoke, PID control, and the towel has pretty much put an end to it for me. Like I said in the other thread, the towel brought some other benefits as well...

Electric heat is much easier for me and I have several PID controllers (my background is in automation), but I havent run power to the pavilion yet. I was going to run a small circuit out there to run some LED light strips in the rafters, one outlet and an electric fan for summer. Electric heat...

...have stated. This would be the time to ditch that major weak point and failure point of the MES and do the simple rewire and go with an Auber PID controller to turn your smoker into an absolute beast of an electric smoker. Doing so would allow you to smoke where you will hit a set temp and...

I'm thinking it takes more than just a shut off solenoid... I believe there is a unit that controls the temps by metering the propane/gas... It's PID controlled... There was a build or two here if I remember right... But we all know how that goes... The ReMemory is a terrible thing...

...looking for advice on my set up and process. The ration was 70/30 in 17mm casings. I have a MES40 that I just retro fitted with a auber WS1510 PID and the auber circulating fan. I did a trial run with the PID and some bricks. Determined that it didn’t need further programming out of the box...

There is a guy on SMF that posted his PID mod for automatic control of a propane burner in a smokehouse. The only change I would make to it is a constant low flame to reduce the swing in temps. instead of on/off with the burner. This is accomplished via a by-pass of the controller with a manual...

Best additions I added to the Traeger Eastwood were an upper rib rack and Grill Grates. If you're not familiar with Grill Grates, check them out. You can replace your existing grates or just lay them right on top. Great heat diffusers.

Take a look @ Grilla Grills. They run sales , can save some $. IMO: Offers more then Rec Tec in features. Its not a piece of junk ! Alot of SS: Grates and a nice double walled body PID has a Pro Mode for smoking ,Auger and RT Adjustments, It Wifi. TAKE A LOOK!
