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.

Love my MES 40 with PID and mailbox mod. Gets used way more than my RT 590

...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.

Jeff, they do work good, and I love my drum with your home built PID controller that you made me, and they are easy to use. You definitely don't need a controller. I'm just O.C.D and like the layer of safety they provide from heat spikes/ over runs for comp cooking and long smokes. I'll be...

Analog is 1500 , so you have the right one . Just depends on which PID you have , and what it's rated for . MES 30 digital is 800w .

Both my 30s are set up this way.

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…

Thanks. The pid would be temporary mount. I would like to sit it on top but I made it with the cords coming out the bottom. Was made for a different purpose. Thought about maybe using a French cleat picture hanger.

...space is definitely important. I have a wild idea that I can convert one to electric, so hoping to not have to buy one brand new for that. They seem like they’re made durable enough to last awhile, and the hopper would make a decent PID enclosure so I wouldn’t have to buy a separate box for that

...corrosion free and secure. Any looseness will cause arcs and sparks like you experienced. Not sure how you fabricated to cord that goes from the PID to the element. Sounds like the PID is still putting out good voltage, so you're element is open, and can easily be replaced. Now, the other...

Hi there and welcome! Good work on the smoker, it's looking great! Are you wanting to permanently mount the PID or just be able to ensure it sits well on/against the smoker? I ask because most of us have PID controllers we can easily remove from the unit. My current PID sits on top of my...

Same as me.I'm not at home so I can't check my settings at the moment but here is a thread that can certainly get you going. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/setting-auber-pid-temp-time-and-other-values.318849/

Good point on the temp limit switch. My thought with the reliability of a PID controller the high temp sensor can be completely eliminated from heating circuit.

This would be an ideal time to convert over to a PID controller. Makes the MES a much better smoker. Nothing more than a fairly simple rewire. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/mes-rewire-simple-guide-no-back-removal-needed.267069/...

...MES model 20070411 that wouldn't control heat. I assumed the relay on the power board was stuck on so I decided to do the rewire and connect to a PID controller. The controller that I am using is something that I built using a Athena controller and a 25 amp SSR. I use this controller on...

...? It can give you a good starting point, but from there on if it still overshoots you'll need to do some adjustments. Just to let you know, the PID settings on different brands of PID controllers are not the same. Especially the P setting so read the manual or find a group that's familiar...

...creosote removal an essential step. Cold smokes work fine since the temperatures are low and steady. Your setup could benefit from better temperature control a PID controller might help regulate the heat more consistently, and separating the wood from the main burner can prevent overly hot...
