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!
Update: Had zero issues. Didn't even get the welding blanket. MES came right up to temp and held the entire cook. Obviously lost temp when I had to open and swap racks, but came right back after closing the door. Probably cost me some time overall, but no big deal. Auber PID is awesome.
Tha you for the reply! I replaced the element also. Plugged it in, heated up instantly. Un plugged it and hooked up a PID controller i built, dropped the probe through the smoke vent on the side wall, set it to 200° F, the initial swing was 10° either side of target which makes sense since there...
...shutoff valve at the beginning of the gas line in case of flameout. There will also be a bypass around the solenoid valve controlled by the pid with a needle valve to have a small flame constantly so wont need a pilot. Thinking about a second needle valve before the solenoid valve in case I...
...not even be fed power.
Now, you could do some fancy wiring with a switch, etc. etc. to be able to switch between a rewire configuration for a PID and to run the stock circuitry BUT I would not recommend it as once you go to a PID you go to Ferrari performance and switching back to Golf cart...
Here is the cord pictures and the second photo is the heating element wiring. This is is my second smoker and have decided to try an use this one instead for my pid
Hi everyone, I have been very busy with building a new smoker, wood structure, PID controlled, electric assisted, because the old Bullet bit the dust and I returned it to its Maker.
Size is 50x50x120cm, opening roof, on hinges, on the bottom is a fan assisted round resistance 2000w that blows...
The pid is an Inkbird. Can’t remember which one. It just overshoots when I raise the temp but then evens out and runs good until I raise the temp again.
...worked well and was heating for about 7 minutes and then the heater element started arcing turned red and is now open."
Everything was working, PID was set at 225 F and controlling the heater. When the temp reached about 105 F ( approx 7 minutes ) I heard a loud buzz and through the front...
You could certainly buy the analog version and in the future add an Auber PID, there's a full tutorial for rewiring the analog for adding an Auber on the Smokin-It website and it looks amazingly simple.
I ended up separating everything out as follows:
* I use the Smokin-t #3 as a chamber to hold the meat.
* I use an Auber PID 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’s actually why I have the Inkbird. I used to do quite a bit of brewing. Never had the overshoot problems because heating water isn’t nearly as fast. I’m getting close to getting it tuned right. Seems to be more of an issue at lower temps…
