Will a new PID controller allow my BBQ075 to burn hotter. It has never seared a steak well.

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.

No .

...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/

Hi there and welcome. Yeah @normanaj is completely correct! The PID would be cutting power Off to the entire MES. That means no power to the controller and heating element so it is effectively unplugging the MES. Then when it turns power back on, I believe the MES is no longer set to be "on"...

...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!

You can hook a pid up to control the gas flow too. I am including a thermo couple shutoff on mine in case the flame goes out for some reason. I need to finish mine up, caught a bad case of lazy and rather be out on the lake.

...will want to verify the temps in the cabinet... If you have a remote/wireless thermometer that you can use to track the temps in the cabinet... And then compare them with what the controller is saying they are... This is why people will do the PID mod as the controller is hardly ever...

They are great to deal with.

I use electric with a PID controller... and a smoke tube... I like electric as you can set it up to ramp temps up automatically.. With a firebox you will almost have to sit there and babysit it the full time... I can start a batch when I go to bed and it will be done in the morning when I get...

Other than the legs it's the same as my 30. If the wiring is the same then adding a PID (if the OP chooses to do so) should be nothing more than switching the wiring harnesses.

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.
