...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 AuberPID 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 ended up separating everything out as follows:
* I use the Smokin-t #3 as a chamber to hold the meat.
* I use an AuberPID to control the temperature that is accurate to < 2 degrees +/-.
* I also purchased an Supllueer two stage external smoke generator which is used specifically for my smoke.
...that you mention. The "set it and forget it" aspect is great. Another idea would be an electric smoker like an MES (Masterbuilt) with an AuberPID control as a replacement for the electronics that are notoriously terrible. I have one for sausage making that requires very low temps and really...
That's in the settings of the PID . On an Auber 1510 you would raise the value of I . Not sure if the Inkbird is the same .
I was wondering if it's rated for 1500 watt element .
There's a few things you could do . One would be a 40 .
Another would be change your method .
Roll smoke for how everlong , then poach finish .
I don't do that much volume in my 30 . Works great for small batches , and improves the end result in my opinion .
Build a plywood box and use this...
...that it's an issue with the controller instead of something like the safety high limit switch which is a common failure point.
If so then the AuberPID is the simplest option and is less expensive in the end than getting all the tools and materials to build your first ever PID controller...
...10 minutes, and that's only because I had to change my drill bit when getting the rivets out. Super simple job, and a quick run with my AuberPID says it is working as expected. I haven't tuned or tweaked anything on the PID yet, but wanted to get a quick confirmation that all systems were...
...vent is now the hottest area from heat stacking like a water heater for air to get out and there's a cooler opposite top rack side. My AuberPID controller goto rack is second from the top, then below for two rack and hang sensor off the top vent wall between them, then empty drip pan...
I bought a #3 several years ago with the intention of adding an auberPID 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.
I drilled a hole from the oustide SS to the light socket and hardwired a 16 gauge extension cord to the 75 watt socket (printed on the socket) and put in a 40 watt bulb vs the standard 15 watt appliance bulb . Plug in is on, unplug is off with this bypass no back removal. I did the Auber Plug...
Thank you very very much for the feedback. Would it be worth trying to figure out the PID controller that I had made or just go with the Auber Instruments?
Some ramblings. Bradley is a well known good smoker. Auber makes a PID controller for it so it can be hot rodded (smoke higher temps) as well as programmed for sausage runs. The consensus on smoking fish is that the fish smell never leaves the smoker. Most have a dedicated unit for it. Can...
I'm surprised you're getting such wild temp swings considering it has an AuberPID 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...
