Very nice work all around. You will enjoy that PID. I have the big wooden Smokehouse and still prefer to finish all my sausage in poach, it just take a lot of pressure off during smoking. I most always just finish sticks in the smokehouse because they smoke easy and don’t have much if any stall.

I finally completed all the modifications to my Bradley Smoker. I added a PID controller, 1200W heating element (w/SSR) and a convection fan. Overall I am very pleased with smoker.....the mods fix many of the short comings of a stock unit. The PID controller is a JLD612 which drives a 25A...

...so it will fit thru a 36” door. Height will vary from 5’4” front and slope to 5’ in back. Plan on using a Propane burner for heat hooked up to a pid , thermocouple, and needle valves. Had some 5/8” osb laying around for the base. Cut some 2x6 squares to mount casters to. Debating on adding...

...down and melts and turns into a liquid form.... Usually happens when your cooking temps are to high... I'm going to calibrate (boiling water) my PID controller and probe, But i'm pretty confident that's in order as it was reading correct ambeint temp... I even backed my max temp down to 170...

I am a retired industrial process control guy and E-tech, although I was in field work and not the design side of the house. I have build a few PID based control systems for electric smoker temp control and brewing system temperature control. I have largely used off the shelf solutions, but...

...the element spikes to burn the wood so does the heat in the chamber and over cooks' certain food items. This way you have everything separate for better control. - the Smokin-it 3 provides the chamber for the meat. - the PID controls the heat. - the external smoke generator provides the smoke.

Those look killer!!!!! I have one more that I need to thaw out in the deep freezer. Now that I have a working PID, thanks to @JC in GB they will be much easier for me. I don't want to jack your thread so I'll have to make a post about my fail at making a PID. And Jeff stepping up to help a...

Bingo and page 3 of this thread has a few perfect pictures and is pretty much fail safe. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/metzgermeister-schloss.157021/ Playing with gas isn't safe unless done right and more so when you talk about leaving it going while away from it

That is why I pretty much abandoned trying to make a PID with control output for gas. Just too many safety concerns. If you have a valve set up already put together, I can likely figure out the interface you would need to mate it up to a PID controller. JC :emoji_cat:

Quick recovery for sure. 😂 It will be outside so it would have to be a temporary mount.

Hello from RI. Lots of MES owners here including myself. A lot of us have done PID conversion among other mods.

...have great immediate 4k clarity. This trail-cam pic is as good I can I get remotely with immediate notification...but I can get super high res if I pull/download from the SD card. Tactacam 4.0 trail-cam is only $108 at Midway USA right now...

...so you are in the age that all the electronics are subject to failure. Second I suspect you have a temperature control unit computer vs a PID computer which is very typical for older Treagers. These units are prone to issues. The choices are to keep the grill and just fix the rod or...

The original PID controllers were pnuematic, and transitioned to analog electric before being implemented with digital circuitry.

It is the one on the milk crate. I could put it on it’s side but after a few drinks I’d tilt my head to read it and end up falling over. 🤣

I'd give a run at factory settings to get a baseline.On both my 30s I had to do very little tweaking to get it right where I wanted it,I wrote down my settings but I'm at the race track so no access to those settings.

You’ll still have to mod a Big Chief to control temps. You plug it in and the heating element stays on until you unplug it. It doesn’t cycle I started playing with an electric burner and a simple temp controller (not PID) but haven’t gotten very far. I will use a pellet tube to generate smoke

You know what I'm gonna say! Rewire and PID time!

...grill other than mine which is a Camp Chef SmokePro DLX, or some refer to it as a SG24 I think. Bought it in July 2019, and upgraded to the Gen2 PID controller which has a low smoke setting which is 160. I do smoked salmon often for friends and it comes out marvelous. Can't add wood chunks...

I bought a #3 several years ago with the intention of adding an auber PID controller later. I got so that I didn't feel the need to have that much control. I just use a Smoke thermometer for remote viewing of box and meat temps.
