Search results for query: Auber PID

Thanks for the suggestion! Honestly, until I read about that option on here earlier today while searching for some ideas on my issue, I hadn't considered it (or even knew it was an option). But, I would consider it, I'd like to figure out what my problem is first and then go from there. I want...

I was going to ask how in the world you're getting accurate temps where the food is if your probe is right above the element. But the wood sheet kind of answered that, I guess. That's actually what my problem was - my probe was on the bottom rack, but by my meat was in the middle and ~50f less...

Though not the cheapest way using an Auber PID sure as heck is the easiest way. Depending on your model # you may need to do nothing more than unplug one wire harness and plug into another and done,though doing the rewire isn't all that hard either. @tallbm guide is very easy to follow and he...

40 owner for many many yrs. Their downfall is the electronics. A lot of members including myself have gone with an Auber PID to control these bypassing the stock electronics for a much more accurate temp (within a couple degrees).

...is. A man with two temperature probes is never sure! I have never used the Masterbuilt temperature probes or controller. I use an Auber PID controller. So old they don't make it anymore. And like JIMSMOKES, I put another probe near what I'm smoking for a reference/check. A few degrees...

This may very much be of interest to you: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/mes-rewire-simple-guide-no-back-removal-needed.267069/ If you have any questions @tallbm is the person to ask first. PS. The Simple Rewire and an Auber PID would've brought that MES back to life.

...heat up. Now that you are digging into your MES a bit more, you can go down the wonderful rabbit hole of the simple rewire and using an Auber PID controller to control it and make it perform 100x better than anything masterbuilt makes brand new. If that interests you then these 180C ceramic...

Hi there and welcome! I'm with @choochooman442 and 1st thing to do is test the probes in boiling water and see how on/off they are. Then as people have mentioned, even next to each other they may read differently. The key is they are in the ball park. On my lower rack I have 3 different temp...

I added the Auber PID a few years ago and it was a game changer. Also did the chip tray removal as Rich recommended. That enabled me to use wood chunks as well. Add the Cold Smoke attachment and the tube and I'm very happy with the performance as well as the flavors. I tried a Pitboss pellet...

It should heat some if the element is good when the lugs to the 1,500 watt element are disconnected and reads 9.6 ohms with 120vac. The WS-1510ELPM Auber is 15 amp 1,800 watts many here use for the Mes 40 1,200 watt element that would handle your element. This controller can be on indefinitely...

Hi there and welcome! 1. I think your probes are reading right and are fine. The difference across the rack you are seeing is due to the airflow and movement within the smoker. The way the element is made, it will produce heat more towards one side of the smoker than the other. Additionally...

I'd probably just bypass the dial with a wire nut being two wires if you're getting a plug and play Auber. Unplug the smoker from the Auber and bring the PID inside out of the humidity when not in use.

Oh yeah they are awesome as a power switch like that. The one I listed is 110/120V so for smaller voltage there might be a better fit out there. Just don't get one that will melt on you lol.

Hi Ryan, thanks for the reply. What is an Auber pid?

...a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker 40 inch (MES40), do the simple rewire it to (cut ends off 4 wires and wire nut to make 2 whole wires) use an Auber PID controller and cut out the safety limit switch or swap it with a 352F safety switch. Rock the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker (AMNPS) tray that provides...

Nice score!!! Sounds like you are on it checking the heating element already. I've had where the connectors were ok BUT corrosion built up between the wire and the connector itself at the heating element. That's a quick fix replacing the connector. With no panel at the high temp safety limit...

...no access to it. Some throw themselves under the bus, "I'm on my sixth Mes.........." That makes investing in a plug and play WS-1510ELPM Auber PID very inexpensive and you unplug the compact unit in 15 seconds, leaving the sensor in the smoker and store it in your HVAC home to keep it out...

So I haven't smoked anything yet, but I installed the temperature sensor and dialed it in. I drilled a hole center/center on the back wall of the smoker. I connected the Auber to my wireless network and set my PID to 1, 0, 0. Fired the smoker up and set it to 275 for a test run. It held 275...

My old Auber PID bit the dust few weeks ago that runs snoopy. So I bought their wifi Model: AW-1520H How the heck do I program the steps on this thing? Its kicking my butt for sure. Says it's tuned for the Bradley smoker. Do I need to tune it to snoopy? Any help for a dummy.
