Nice clean up! New smoker 😊

Don't have a MES, but what I read over and over on the forum the wiring is a big failure in the connectors and a cheap over temp sensor. Sorry I cannot withstand 40 minutes of video for 5 minutes of actual content but his theme to use a PID control is what you really need for precise temperature...

I'm just throwing this out there for those that have asked about this before, or those who like to try new things. When you add a PID controller to an electric smoker the PID sends pulses to the SSR. Some PID controllers give you a little control over those pulses but they are still digital...

100% agree with the PID. You don't HAVE to buy an Auber, but it's money well spent. I didn't splurge for the wifi model and seem to still be alive so that's a few bucks you can save if you choose that route. I love my pellet pooper more now than when I first got it, but your MES is still a...

If anyone has a chance, please give me an idea about how I might go about rewiring my Gen 2 MES40? It finally gave up the ghost. I have an Auber WST-1520H waiting in the wings for it. The 2 access panels in the rear are pictured open here: Obviously the first thing I need to do is the...

...#3 smoker cabinet and see how it actually works. My hopes are to just use the Smokin-it cabinet to provide the chamber for my meats, the Auber Pid to provide the temperature control and the Supllueer smoke generator to provide the smoke for all my smoking adventures. I still need to prove my...

@pi guy I am going to throw something out there that may be a little unconventional. I too have a MES 40" that I removed the controller on. I follwed the instructions described above. I started with an Auber SYL-3615, which is a BBQ Fan controller. Except instead of a fan I had it control a...

Howdy You cant run the novus in conjunction with the Auber. What I did was remove all the original electric (Take pics before you remove all the wires) then I wired the element to a HD extension cord which plugs into the back of the Auber. Use the Auber temp probe to operate the PID. So yes...

I am not an electronic geru but know that the controller has 4 different themistors that are the imput for the controller they are ďesigned for temp range the one i have is only designed To be used to 250deg Themistors are used in very hot applications but are designed. Different the novus I...

This is probably my issue, even though Auber customer service said the PID would work if I didn't have to take the smoker temp too high. But it won't even start the element heating. Time to send the PID back.....

Thank you sir. I did keep the old element on the sole suspect that it may not have been the issue. I will check the ohms on it to see what readings I get. Luckily, I am fairly knowledgeable about electronics and repairs. I rarely throw anything away that I can repair.

I have an Auber pid for my mes and love it... took my 25 to 30 degree temp swings down to holding within 2 degrees. Mine was around $150 I think, probably a little more now but totally worth it! Ryan

Recently, I’ve installed an Auber AW-1520H PID controller to my SmokinTex PRO 1400 model smoker. This model of smoker comes with a manual thermostat base temperature controller which makes it a great candidate to upgrade with a PID controller. Due to the simplicity of the smoker’s system, it...

I bought what I believe is an Auber copy possibly for AliExpress it’s a Rex c-100?

The regular Bradleys are only half built. I ran a dual element controlled by an Auber PID that could do everything. Hot smoke, cold smoke (kinda) and ran rock solid.

Try a high-quality K-type thermocouple from Omega, Auber, or Watlow. Make sure it's properly placed away from direct heat, use shielded wiring to reduce interference, and check if your PID has input filtering. If swings persist, a better thermocouple should help!

Thanks, everyone. All connections look clean, not corroded or burnt, so it's a mystery what happened. I see tallbm's guide to bypassing the controller, which is how I got inside mine to look, but is there a guide that can walk me through parts and steps needed for the Auber PID solution?

Not Auber but there is a gentleman here who has quite a bit of experience with that particular PID. Calling @JC in GB !

Yep, have done the 2 mods. Auber PID and mailbox for smoke tube or tray. I use this smoker way more than my RT pellet grill. Very accurate low temp control for sausage, jerky, fish, etc.
