...the resistance on the old element if you still have it . I think a 1200 watt element should be around 9 ohms ? Other than that , I think your fine . Going by your description anyway . Consider the bypass wiring , and adding an Auber PID controller . Turns the MES smokers in to a great smoker .

Today i removed the factory controller and heating element. Temporarily installed a 1500w 120v hotplate along with my new Auber AW-1520 WIFI PID. Max temp on the hotplate was ≈220f. Set the PID to 200f then 210f and this is a screenshot. Why couldn't TSM install this in the first place? This is...

Those panel mount marine circuit breakers are nice. I ran across them when I worked on an 80s cabin cruiser electrical system. I used one as a power switch and circuit protection in my homemade Auber powered PID controller, can't beat them.

Auber has the WSD-1200H PID on sale until July 7th for $147.00. Not available on Amazon but I found it on there WEB site.

Hello from RI. What PID did you end up with?If it's an Auber the re-wire for it is the same as a Smokin-It analog and is incredibly simple!

Auber PID + anything electric. If it has controller, mod it for power only. Heads up the insulation in most smokers is not really designed for higher temps.

Do what most have already done. Get an third party PID (ex auber controller) and do the mailbox mod. Temps will be steady and you won't have to feed the beast every 20 min. And Yes, you'll get good eats!

10 degrees is not much between 2 sensors. The physical size and style of sensor makes a big difference. The best way to test the differential between the 2 is to tie them together with bare copper wire. One might lag behind the other but tied together they should match once they are saturated .

I have an auber pid in my mes 30... took temp swings of 25 degrees down to within 5 degrees of set point. Ryan

Thanks for that additional link, will definitely check it out. Just found out my PID arrived a few moments ago. Opened and everything is there so will be able to test maybe during lunch.

I like the way you rolled it out in the bags. I have learned something new. Looks much easier than extruding it thru the stuffer or jerky shooter. Thanks. HT

Realistically if you could find a used 40" Masterbuilt Electric Smoker(MES) do the simple rewire and add an Auber PID you'd have a better smoker at a fraction of the cost.Doing the "mailbox mod" makes it even better.It just might not be as pretty though!

I believe TSM states absolute max temp is 250 but max setting with supplied controller is 225. I could be wrong. I am not looking for anything over 250 but don't want to know I'm running maxed out every time at 225-250 if that makes sense. And, everything will definitely act differently with...

Linear control provides smoother power adjustment, the thermal time constant of the heating element often makes pulsed control (via SSR) just as effective, especially for electric smokers. As JC in GB pointed out, the difference in performance isn’t significant enough to justify the higher cost...

John for a constant temp controller that is a nice cost effective PID.

This might sound crazy but you get a different flavor between the Bella's / Smoke Daddy style smoke generators and true cold smoke generators. I guess it has to do with removing a lot of the chemicals and moisture with the cold smoke generator. I use the cold smoke generator for cheese and...

Oh I forgot lol. But yeah welcome to PID40 hahaha :P Having seen how small the MES30 is I knew the MES40 was for me. Though I'm 1 person and rarely fill it more than half, I didn't like the fact that I couldn't do a whole rack of ribs or a whole brisket in an MES30. Here in brisket land not...

I got my bella cold smoke generator and the auber fan installed. Just wanted to make sure the coil element wast another point of failure. The pid controller was on backorder but hopefully will ship out this week so I can get everything dialed in. Appreciate your support.

There's an entire sticky thread within the Electric Smokers sub-forum for this exact subject. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/setting-auber-pid-temp-time-and-other-values.318849/ Mods might want to merge this within that thread.

This is so true , but for some reason people steer clear of it . You have a great smoker box design . $150 dollar Auber plug and play PID controller and a new element for 40 bucks and you will be amazed how well it functions . You have the box , and You CAN'T buy a smoker for 200 bucks that...
