    Who says you can't get good sear marks off a Pellet Smoker?

    Yeah, that's a smoking deal on that Rec Tec! I would've jumped all over that as well. If the PID controller doesn't hold the temps like I want on my PB, I'll have to check for deals on Craigslist. Wicked "smaat"! :)

    Awesome! That is the other controller I was looking at so I'll interested to hear of your experience. I too read that reduction of smoke could be an issue which makes sense as the feed of the pellets is greatly reduced and slowly fed in along with reduction of fan speed to maintain those lower...

    Who says you can't get good sear marks off a Pellet Smoker?

    Cheers man, looks great. That said...for my wife and I, we like a little more char on our steaks. I have a Pit Boss Pellet grill (yeah not quite the Rec Tec ;) but it works pretty good at higher temps. The lower temps had crazy temp swings and I was getting ready to go ahead and buy a Rec Tec...

    Hi Phil, I wondered if I should buy the whole upgrade kit as well but after reading speedj's experience and reaching out to him to confirm that it was still working as intended. I decided to just buy the controller. My install and initial test seemed to work well but I'm going to do my first...

    Thanks man and will do. I'm already on the lookout for some St. Louis style ribs and will do that cook this weekend. One thing I noticed during my test (and had read about), is that there isn't as much smoke production at the lower temps so I bought a $9 smoking tube (actually a rectangle) that...

    Pit Boss 820

    So I wanted to contribute on this post and share my experience in converting my Pit Boss 700FB's controller to the Pellet Pro PID controller. The reason I wanted to convert to a PID controller? This: As you can see, it is set to 200 degrees but the temp is at 290. I was trying to smoke a...

    Thanks for the response and added info. That's great news to hear it is continuing to hold temps! The company that makes that PID is now advertising that it holds 5 degrees +/- but honestly, I would be thrilled if it can keep within the 5-10 as well. Much better than what I had to deal with the...
