    Modified MES 30 test run

    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 .

    My modified MES 30

    ...about something like that too! Also there is just laying it on any of it's sides where the chords are not sticking out. I assume it's that PID on the milk crate. Mine sits on top but elevated by 2 little pieces of plastic to give it some space between the controller and the smoker. The...

    MES MB20072816 Not Heating

    Yes and yes and soldering is not required. That is certainly a possibility.

    Converting a propane upright to pellet

    Find a used MES on Craigslist or marketplace and add a PID and mailbox mod. That setup will do everything you want.

    Electric Smoker WiFi 710 model temp calibration

    Here's the complicated explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional%E2%80%93integral%E2%80%93derivative_controller Basically it's a controller that can hold your temps within +/- 1℉ of your set temp when calibrated right. On the MES this done with a simple rewire that bypasses the...

    Electric Smoker Temperature Controller

    ...a master built electric smoker in which the electronics failed on it. I installed a new heating element / power supply kit to it and also had a PID controller built from another SM forum member however for some reason the PID controller is not working even after auto tuning and so on... With...

    MES 30 upgrade?

    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...

    New to me MES 30 - Maiden Voyage

    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.

    Bradley Smoker -- PID controller and convection modifications.

    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...

    My sausage smoker build

    ...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...

    After All These Years My First Fail...

    ...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...

    PI Controller project

    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...

    Smokin it #3 Vs #3D

    ...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...

    Automated temperature control - Best way to keep the pilot?

    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
  18. JC in GB

    I would like to give a shout out to @JC in GB.

    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:

    My modified MES 30

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