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...

...reaching max temp. for quite some time. I think it's time for some upgrades. I've been looking at a Savannah Stoker controller, but I read it works more like an oven and won't produce as much smoke. So I'm not sure a PID controller is what I want! Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

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.

So I smoked a batch of summer sausage today and noticed my Inkbird PID temp display going crazy. Say my temp was set at 150°. When it got close to target temp, it would quickly start jumping from 149 to 155 to 147 to 150 and so forth. Would do that for about 5 seconds then quit and settle on a...

Did you actually verify your PID pit temps with a digital thermometer? PID controller may need some calibrating, it may have been running hotter than anticipated. They look good though, I would put a few of them away.😋

Anybody ever rewired a newer masterbuilt smoker to run an auber pid. I have a two black wires, a red, and a white. Trying to figure out what wires need to be wired together for the auber to take over. Thanks

...the cabinet and out the rear vent without contacting the food. If you really drop deep into the rabbit hole, and you like to tinker, look into PID controllers. I have done this and now have a very consistent and repeatable smoking setup. When this smoker wears out, I might consider an...

Thank you for you input. Could you explain the PID please?

Looks nice. A little convection action with the fan and a pid. You forgot the shelves and hanging rods, lol. Almost time to get the smoke rolling.

...tonight I got to relax with a little help of Patron silver. Hopefully I sleep a few hours, I normally don't sleep well the night before a cook off, I always think that I'm forgetting something. I have everything I can prepped up, and your PID connected to my smoker, now it's up to me to execute.

This PID controller is from Auber Instruments and has all or most of the features used on the Smokin-it digital electric smokers and the Auber instruments plug and play PID controllers without Wi-Fi. It's just the PID controller so you'd need to be able to build a PID box like a lot of people...

Thanks for all the help everyone! I did have another probe in yesterday reading the smoker temp and it was +/-5 degrees or so of the PID. It is a cheaper wireless thermometer but figured the PID was accurate. The fan kit I came across on aubers site when I was shopping for the PID. I initially...

I am doing something very similar to this thread for the gas supply: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/added-valves-plus-pid-controller-to-propane-smoker.282441/

Find a used 40" MES on Craigslist,FB market place or wherever.Rewire it for a PID then do the mailbox mod and use an Amazen tube/tray in it. You'll never have a better electric smoker for the money.

I certainly understand the appeal! I specifically went with analog because our power is prone to outages and surges, figured it might be too easy to fry the electronics. Something to consider of your power supply is sketchy perhaps?
