Agreed 100% with all said above. I am in the 40" camp with the mods, love it. About $160 for the Auber PID

...me dial in my MES 40. I smoke a lot of summer sausage and snack sticks and the temp swings in the MES were killing me. I finally bought an Auber PID and I’m working on rewiring the MES to bypass the controller. I was using @tallbm guide and our wire configurations are a bit different. Can...

@johngolf01 If you do decide to go down the PID controller route it would appear to be very easy to do as it's the same procedure as a Smokin-It. The instructions are on the Smokin-It forums in Auber sub-forum.

I had intentions of using this Auber PID Controller with my MES, but after reading the various threads regarding its set up, I have discovered that my electrical skills leave much to be desired and I can live without it. Therefor, if anyone would like to have this controller please let me...

Nice looking sticks!!! Welcome to team Auber PID.

Here's a thread from a few years back: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/setting-auber-pid-temp-time-and-other-values.318849/

They are great to deal with.

I get that 100 % . I just thought maybe you reached out and didn't get any responce . I'm to a point that I don't use mine much anymore either . Never did get in line with someone saying " it's easy " , because everyone is different . I thought the older Smokin Tex were analog , and the new...

...both in excellent shape and perfect working order. The manual control on the smoker has been bypassed so that it is controlled by the Auber PID Smoker is also well seasoned. Smoker has 1" insulated walls and is all stainless other than the wheels and it can be used all year long. I will put...

Thanks!

I'll also say that I did have some initial issues with the Auber PID settings, but the Auber customer service folks took care of me and got me dialed in.

This is exactly when I started using mine as a holding oven.

Please add me! :D

Agree. I've started using my MES as a holding oven. The Auber PID lets me dial in low temps for how ever long I want.

@KonaRich the only thing you'll accomplish using a PID this way is turning your MES off after the temp set on the PID is reached. It would be no different than simply unplugging your smoker and then plugging it back in. Then you'll need to turn the MES back on at the control panel,reset the...

Anybody ever rewired a newer masterbuilt smoker to run an auber pid. I have a two black wires, a red, and a white. Trying to figure out what wires need to be wired together for the auber to take over. Thanks

I run a MES40 Gen 2 since 2013. I recently added a mailbox mod with pellet tube or maze which solved many serious problems. I recently looked into a PID, but was not sold with advantages of steady temps over the usual +/- 20 degree swings electric smokers are known for. Our kitchen oven works...

I'll take a raffle ticket for that!

Hi there and welcome. Yeah @normanaj is completely correct! The PID would be cutting power Off to the entire MES. That means no power to the controller and heating element so it is effectively unplugging the MES. Then when it turns power back on, I believe the MES is no longer set to be "on"...

So I smoked a batch of summer sausage today and noticed my Inkbird PID temp display going crazy. Say my temp was set at 150°. When it got close to target temp, it would quickly start jumping from 149 to 155 to 147 to 150 and so forth. Would do that for about 5 seconds then quit and settle on a...
