I am looking for a PID controller for a propane sausage smoker I am building. I would like the PID to have the following but can do without the convenience items like wifi if necessary. * Controlled/monitored by wifi on phone app * 110 v power supply to the pid * Control either a 110 v or 12 v...

Works with analog , not with Digital .

Nice looking sticks!!! Welcome to team Auber PID.

...a MES40 Gen 2 since 2013. I recently added a mailbox mod with pellet tube or maze which solved many serious problems. I recently looked into a PID, but was not sold with advantages of steady temps over the usual +/- 20 degree swings electric smokers are known for. Our kitchen oven works...

@KonaRich the only thing you'll accomplish using a PID this way is turning your MES off after the temp set on the PID is reached. It would be no different than simply unplugging your smoker and then plugging it back in. Then you'll need to turn the MES back on at the control panel,reset the...

Here's a thread from a few years back: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/setting-auber-pid-temp-time-and-other-values.318849/

...both in excellent shape and perfect working order. The manual control on the smoker has been bypassed so that it is controlled by the Auber PID Smoker is also well seasoned. Smoker has 1" insulated walls and is all stainless other than the wheels and it can be used all year long. I will put...

Built a DIY PID with an Inkbird ITC-106vh controller. Wondering if anybody has used this on a Masterbuilt 40. I run a AMNPS tray in a mailbox mod . Looking for the PID settings that worked for you. TIA

Thanks!

They are great to deal with.

This is exactly when I started using mine as a holding oven.

...burner does make meat better tasting than my pellet smoker but not by much if you use the right pellets. Few can tell the difference. When PID controllers came along, the tight temperature control did not simulate the real wood burning smoker cycle of adding wood. So they came up with...

Wiring help needed for newer MES 40. I have 4 wires total coming out of where the power cord is. Besides the white and black power wires, the other 2 are red and blue. Which wires should I connect to use my PID. Any help would be appreciated.

No, just used PID. I will look into the PRO mode

I hear ya I have a WSM and also a Lang stick burner, both taste better than the pellet. Which pellet smoker do you use?

...and made their own. I build such things for a living, so that might happen. Maybe an Arduino and a K type thermocouple and then use a separate PID controller which is what they did (the PID controller part). I have several sitting around, but It's not really a fun project to me. If I do...

Agree. I've started using my MES as a holding oven. The Auber PID lets me dial in low temps for how ever long I want.

I like my analog Smokin Tex but would love the PID version

I'd add a pid controlled fan and let it roll.

I'll also say that I did have some initial issues with the Auber PID settings, but the Auber customer service folks took care of me and got me dialed in.
