Don't give up on that MES quite yet. They can be brought back to life with a simple rewire and the addition of PID controller which will turn it into a smoker much better than when you bought it.

Yes sir, I did the PID conversion and love it.

...10 minutes, and that's only because I had to change my drill bit when getting the rivets out. Super simple job, and a quick run with my Auber PID says it is working as expected. I haven't tuned or tweaked anything on the PID yet, but wanted to get a quick confirmation that all systems were...

I use your PID set up after I get to temp esp sausage, fish.

...I can do that with the Smoke Vault, given the challenges with flame height and not having the flame go out. I have read the post by JC in GB (PID Controller Tutorial and Build Information) and I am intrigued by the idea of using a PID with the Smoke Vault (sans the propane :emoji_laughing...

...that it's an issue with the controller instead of something like the safety high limit switch which is a common failure point. If so then the Auber PID is the simplest option and is less expensive in the end than getting all the tools and materials to build your first ever PID controller...

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 .

...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...

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

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

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...

Welcome from the dry side of Washington. There are several PID build threads in the forum.

...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...

Welcome Jordan, go Ross Little Giants, purple people eaters! Grew up in Fremont now live in Perrysburg. Lots of great folks on hear.

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...

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.

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...

...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...

...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...

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...
