    My New PID Controller - 1st Cook

    Hey Bill, my pleasure! I did a post on the PID installation here. It went pretty smooth and was an easy install. I had the same problem with temp swings at lower smoking temps. The controller DOES do much better at maintaining set temp. In the few cooks I've had after the fact, I'd say it keeps...

    Pellet Smoker Grate Temp vs. Set Temp

    Sounds like a cool set up! And yeah, I added a pellet smoker tube to my pellet grill when I added the PID smoker as I had read that smoke production would dimish a bit. Agreed, always looking for my next "something" for the smoking addiction. LOL.

    Pellet Smoker Grate Temp vs. Set Temp

    Hi Phil and thanks for the additional info. Yeah, I'm bummed as it looks like I should've gone with the Stoker. Love how you can have that level of customization. For my brisket I like to smoke at 225 till I get to an internal temp of 160, then I wrap in butcher's paper and go until an internal...

    Pellet Smoker Grate Temp vs. Set Temp

    Hi Phil and thanks for your answers. Man, they really seemed to think of everything with that Savannah Stoker you got. Love that calibration option. Makes so much sense. Glad to hear you haven't experienced any burn back. What temp do you usually do your cooks at? Ribs and brisket in...

    Pellet Smoker Grate Temp vs. Set Temp

    Hey Sonny! Thanks for your reply. I had a Masterbuilt smoker as well and really liked it. I wish I had heard about the AMNPS before I moved on to my pellet smoker. That was my biggest gripe was having to add woodchips all the time. Haha and yeah hope you keep your burned back to a minimum this...

    Pellet Smoker Grate Temp vs. Set Temp

    Haha, thanks for the reply! Yeah, I'm not planning on eating my grates anytime soon either. But my meat is laying right on top of those grates! :) For shorter cooks I'm not concerned about it but for longer cooks like a packer brisket, that higher temp could make the bottom of it pretty tough...

    Pellet Smoker Grate Temp vs. Set Temp

    Hi all, I recently got a Pit Boss 700fb to primarily use for smoking food. I also recently upgraded to the PelletPro PID controller after experiencing crazy temp swings when doing a brisket with the stock controller. For more about that story see here. Anyway, after installing the new...

    Pit Boss 820

    Thanks for the response! BTW - I edited my initial response to read PB 700fb not 200fb (don't think that even exists!). But yeah, between you and PhilH, I think I may have selected wrong. :\ That said, I don't really want to pull out my PelletPro if I don't have to. As I mentioned, I am going...

    Pit Boss 820

    Thanks Phil and Hi Bconrey - sorry for coming late to the party on this discussion. I recently installed the PelletPro on my PB 700FB. Yes, the pulsating fan it weird to first hear when you're used to hearing the fan going full blast previously BUT...that is how it works in order to try and hold...

    Pit Boss 820

    Hi Bconrey! Yeah, I don't know if you saw my previous post, but my temps swings were out of control with the original controller of the Pit Boss. After reading Phil's experience of the Savannah Stoker, it seems to have more features than the Pellet Pro I bought. That said, I bought the new PID...

    Pit Boss 820

    Thanks for the follow up Phil! Sounds like that PID controller is pretty robust (and looks cool too). If I had to do it again I might go that route instead. But for now...I'm just so happy to be able to keep my temps right where I want them. Especially on long cooks. Cheers to PID controllers!

    Pit Boss 820

    Thanks SpeedJ, I'm glad I came across your post and pics when I did as it was key in my decision to go that route. And I'm checking out that gasket now. Haven't really noticed too much smoke escaping but I honestly haven't paid that close attention to it. But shoot, for $15...that's a no...

    My New PID Controller - 1st Cook

    Thank you and sorry about the YouTube post. I'm a little new to forums but I'll look to see how to do that correctly next time as I would like to do some videos of my own to post on YT and then embed here. Appreciate the comment!

    My New PID Controller - 1st Cook

    Thank you! I have a membership at Sam's Club and have seen some good looking and meaty ribs there as well. I'll have to keep that in mind for the next time I do ribs like this. Happy to be here and appreciate the feedback!

    My New PID Controller - 1st Cook

    I just installed a new Pellet Pro PID controller on my Pit Boss 700fb pellet grill. I posted pics and notes regarding my install experience here. Anyway, the install was pretty uneventful and my initial but small test afterwards seemed to run ok but I wanted to get a 5 or 6 hour cook on it to...

    Pit Boss 820

    Just wanted to follow up on my first cook with my new Pellet Pro PID controller after installing it on my Pit Boss 700fb. SUCCESS! I'll detail my cook in its own thread but the long and short of it for this thread is that I did a 5 hour cook with a couple of spareribs and while I did have a...
