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...
Think you're link got lost. I believe I found what you're referencing. Was a good read - I'll give that process a go once I get through my other initial troubleshooting steps!
PID Steps
Hi there and welcome!
The guys have you covered. Page 1 of the forum post that SmokinEdge linked to will give you a rewire guide.
The AuberPID link that Winterrider linked will take you to the minimum model PID that will do all MES units. Many guys opt to go with the wifi version of the...
1. Ok so connectors seem ok, we move on to the other parts :D
2. Rewiring would bypass the lower circuit board and would make it not function with the stock controller on top. The stock controller would not even be fed power.
Now, you could do some fancy wiring with a switch, etc. etc. to be...
The below link is a detailed step by step on setting up AuberPIDs. This guy used the wifi Auber with app on a Smokin Tex pro 1400 and came up with P=10, I=600 and D=175 and the out of the box Auber settings are pretty much the same P=7, I=600 and D=150 and the app smoker pic is this style...
...own a #3 analog. No complaints this thing is built like a tank. The analog works perfectly for ribs, pulled pork etc. But I also have the AuberPID that I can also hook up when I need more low stable temperatures for cheese, fish, sausage, salami etc. I have tried them all and I am older now...
My smoker sits outside just under a covered area on the edge of my deck year round, gets a little blowing rain every once in a while. Yep, all electronics will have temperature and humidity limits, and circuits will eventually fail. I have enough spare parts to build a PID controller for my...
This comes from the Smokin-It forums on how to bypass the analog controller and add an AuberPID. It's my understanding the Smokin-Tex wiring is identical.I'll make the assumption that you've already seen it but I'll post a link just in case you missed it...
...them enough to see they are also in practically new condition and are snug in place.
2. If I were to re-wire the smoker with the AuberPID, does that by pass the circuit board on the underneath of the smoker, making it non-functional? If I have zero knowledge or tools to solder, is that...
...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 AuberPID controller on Amazon, I don’t get one item I get a whole list of items so I don’t know which one I’m supposed to be looking for specifically...
This is what I was able to find as it pertains to "H" codes and AuberPIDs:
If you still can't resolve the issue I wouldn't junk it,much cheaper to buy new probes and/or new controller.
Correct. I've had a 3-D since 2016. Electric smokers in general are best used for low and slow cooks. I don't think I ever used mine with a temp over 250.
The problem is lengthy cooks will wear on any electric smoker over time. My Smokin-It 3-D shows Hs on both screens of my auber. Can't get...
Forgot to mention I also have an MES40 with an auberPID controller and the "mailbox mod" for a smoke tube. I use it almost exclusively for sausages, snack sticks, and jerky. Great set up for really low temp stuff
So I bought an Auber WS 1211H PID to use with a basic Cuisinart analog smoker. Aubers customer service said all I have to do is set the dial on my smoker to high, plug smoker into back of PID then plug controller into wall outlet. Did that and nothing. I changed the PID to single step mode to...
I'd grab the Joe for that price for sure. Maybe find a used 40 on FB? The decision to go Auber is mostly determined but what you're running. If sausage/cured stuff like hams, Auber FOR SURE. If not, PID not so critical. In fact, if no sausage/cured stuff I'd tell you get a used Smokefire on...
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...

Not enough experience with electric units past my Big Chief.
Can you convert to an AuberPID ? Not sure if they have a Wi-Fi connect unit.
You're in the neighborhood. My winter home is 4 corners or the end of west bound US-192...
...idiot, so there isn't a voltmeter to be found at my house.
Is there anything I should look at or do, or do I just take it to the curb? I don't think installing an Auberpid would change anything since I don't have a fluctuation problem - I have a heat problem.
Thanks for your thoughts...
