I also did the Auber wifi PID re-wire on my MES. Best couple hundred bucks I've spent. The re-wire was a little confusing for me, but the resources here helped. Now I basically have a $1,000 smoker. It's incredible and holds temp within a degree forever. I added the mailbox modification for...
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...
Anyone have any issues with an MES maintaining temp in below freezing temps? Thinking about smoking some sausage tomorrow but temp will be single digits outside. I have an auberpid by the way.
Time to get an AuberPID and bypass all the electronics on the controller panel. Will make a much better smoker for you with more controllable temps.

First post, long time scroller. Made a 25lb batch of jalapeno cheddar snack stick yesterday with elk and had fat out, which I know is from too high of temp. I guess I’m looking for advice on my set up and process. The ration was 70/30 in 17mm casings. I have a MES40 that I just retro fitted with...
You could certainly buy the analog version and in the future add an AuberPID, there's a full tutorial for rewiring the analog for adding an Auber on the Smokin-It website and it looks amazingly simple.
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.

...My main area of interest is sausage and jerky, although I don’t have a lot of batches under my belt. I have a MES 40 that I upgraded with a AuberPID and auber fan kit. I also use the masterbuilt slow smoker attachment. I’ve probably gotten about 99% of my knowledge on smoking from you all...
Update: Had zero issues. Didn't even get the welding blanket. MES came right up to temp and held the entire cook. Obviously lost temp when I had to open and swap racks, but came right back after closing the door. Probably cost me some time overall, but no big deal. AuberPID is awesome.
...have stated. This would be the time to ditch that major weak point and failure point of the MES and do the simple rewire and go with an AuberPID controller to turn your smoker into an absolute beast of an electric smoker. Doing so would allow you to smoke where you will hit a set temp and...
I ended up separating everything out as follows:
* I use the Smokin-t #3 as a chamber to hold the meat.
* I use an AuberPID 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.
...that you mention. The "set it and forget it" aspect is great. Another idea would be an electric smoker like an MES (Masterbuilt) with an AuberPID control as a replacement for the electronics that are notoriously terrible. I have one for sausage making that requires very low temps and really...
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 .
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...
