Digital temp and propane conversion
Another update. It turns out my problem is just with the burner. I have a low pressure regulator, the low pressure controller valve, and a high pressure burner. So now I'm just waiting for a friend to send me a burner from a hot water heater, and that should wrap it up. Then it's just a...- mw-smoke

Digital temp and propane conversion
An update to everything. We've had some warm weather lately so I had to get out and work on the smoker some more. Took everything apart and took off the teflon tape since I had a number of leaks. I coated all of the threads with #2 liquid pipe sealer and put it all back together, tested with...- mw-smoke

Digital temp and propane conversion
I should have most or the receipts and such, so I'll post a build-spec when everything is finally done. I haven't been able to focus on finishing up these past few weeks, but there isn't much left to do. There were some gas leaks so I have to break everything down and put it together with...- mw-smoke

Digital temp and propane conversion
I tested everything out in 10F weather, and its working great but with one problem: the gas regulator on the propane tank keeps shutting off. I think the problem is the gas pressure. I've got a 20lb LP bottle attached, and I have to barely turn it on or I've got a flamethrower. So with the...- mw-smoke

I turned off the P parameter and adjusted the HYS to 5. I tested without the LP hooked up and it seems to work just like I want. I can't wait to give this a go!- mw-smoke

Oh, this is interesting and it sounds like the way to go. How do I turn off the P?- mw-smoke

Digital temp and propane conversion
Thanks woodman, I'll look for it. I tested it out with the LP hooked up and it's all working, but I couldn't figure out how to control the duration of the burn. After auto tuning, when the temperature drops and the PID starts to turn on the gas, it switches on and off so fast that the flow of...- mw-smoke

Digital temp and propane conversion
Got it! :sausage: I was scratching my about the lack of voltage, so I was Googling all over and found a thread where someone says the TA4-RNR is hard wired as a relay and can't be turned off or on through the configuration menu. So I take the SSR out of the loop, wire up the 24vAC to pin 3...- mw-smoke

Digital temp and propane conversion
Thanks a bunch wolf man. I really appreciate all you've done to help me. I have a question: should I just hook the connections up to 5&6 and not worry about 3&4? If so, then I'm confused about what 3&4 are used for. Thanks!- mw-smoke

Digital temp and propane conversion
I've got all the parts finally and started hooking it all up, but the PID has me flummoxed. The SSR doesn't light up at all, but I can hear the click inside the PID when the "out" light turns on. I'm going to throw up a bunch of pics so hopefully someone will spot something wrong...- mw-smoke
