Avoid Temp Swings in MES (By Bear)
With the realization that this is an old thread, be advised that it provides much information for this new member. I'm reading each entry with interest, gleaning much info. Some history: Started using a Weber kettle and WSM 5-6 years ago after spending many years with a gas grill. Have had good...- PapaRed

Update on my quest to control temps while cooking sausage. Purchased a Master Built electric smoker, and after the initial "burn in" at 275 degrees, allowed the smoker to cool to ambient, and then set the temperature to 160 degrees. I used a potato with my Meater+ inserted to monitor the smoker...- PapaRed

Temp controller
Exactly. I think it doesn’t really do anything that I can’t do. It doesn’t block the air - it’s just a fan that turns on and off. When I control it manually, I can totally block the air or control how much enters the chamber. I was hooked based on the glowing description. My error. It’s going...- PapaRed

Temp controller
So I ran a test (no food in WSM) with a bit of charcoal and discovered even with the + or - range setting of 10 degrees F, the controller allowed the temp to overshoot the target temperature. With the WSM at 135 degrees (just a few briquettes on charcoal) I set the target temp to 160 degrees...- PapaRed

Just received the DynaQ, set it up on my desk just to assure that it works. No documentation - one must log on to the web to read instructions, and then download an app to turn the controller on. (If you can't connect to BlueTooth, the controller can't be used.) Connecting the components makes...- PapaRed

A very educational recipe and process! Thank you. Can you provide some detail on how you emulsify the meat mixture in the juicer? -

I don’t really trust the dome temp - it’s at least 10 degrees low. I use the Maverick ET-732 and also use the Meater+ because of the iPhone app. -

I use charcoal briquettes - mainly Kingsford, but did use some Weber when they went on sale. Didn't detect any difference. I started using a clay flower pot saucer on the water bowl as a heat sink, but since my casings were tough, I surmised that it was due to the lack of moisture, and removed... -

Hello from Arizona. Old timer, USAF retired, aerospace manufacturing retired. Using Weber Performer, kettle, and WSM for about 6 years, and still learning. The most difficult (and frustrating) thing for me is chasing temperature on the WSM - especially when smoking sausage, not so much with... -

Thanks for everyone joining in to provide options. And, RCAlan, the inverter is a feasible option to consider. I just ordered a DynaQ, so hopefully it will do what I want.- PapaRed

Yes, every place I've looked (on the web) indicates PartyQ is no longer available. Looks like DynaQ is the choice, even though it needs an external power source. Not a deal breaker, but running a cord is a hassle I would rather not deal with.- PapaRed

I must not have been clear..... " I would like to find a reliable temperature controller for the WSM, and have looked at some specifications, but have not received any responses from manufacturers to my questions. "- PapaRed

From an old-timer, new WSM user. New being a relative term, I have been using a Weber kettle and a WSM (18”) for a while and am satisfied with both, however find myself chasing temperature on the WSM – especially when smoking sausage. I would like to find a reliable temperature controller for...- PapaRed
