PID shopping list, just looking for suggestions/help
I like the diagram. Be careful about the colors of the K type thermocouple wires. There are several standards (a famous engineering joke is "The trouble with standards is there are so many to choose from.") In the yellow/red version, the red is negative. In the red/blue (chinese) version...- dsk

PID shopping list, just looking for suggestions/help
The PID will drive the SSR which will be swithching on and off either the transformer you bought or the one with the variable speed control (which you will leave on high,) every number of seconds you program (lets say 10, but I don't have a pellet grill so I cannot knowledgeably advise the best...- dsk

Small print on the label on the back says "Designed by INKBIRD." Literature indicates support by Inkbird. Looks like it was a second distribution channel for them.- dsk

It is an assumption, of course. Within brand it is likely, across brands it is questionable.- dsk

Digital smoke controllers
That makes sense because on second thought your smoker does not have a probe already in it. The PID linked above, along with your existing smoke generator as long as the smoke part works, is a better solution than the Bradley Digital. I have a Bradley Digital, and I use a PID. It controls...- dsk

Digital smoke controllers
Definitely. You don't even have to rewire, you just need a computer power cord that goes from the PID to the back of the chamber. If you have the original 500w heating element, find one that is rated for 10A or more (it will be molded into the plug or labeled somewhere.)- dsk

Digital smoke controllers
If you want to replace an existing Bradley Original Smoker smoke generator with a Bradley digital smoke generator, then it is possible. You may have to replace the temperature sensor as they changed types somewhere along the way. Call Bradley with your serial number to find out if you need to...- dsk

Vacuum sealing smoked sliced cheese
How about laying the slices out on a few racks and smoking them only for 10 minutes or so, rotating them through until you have done them all. That way the entire surface gets smoked, rather than relying on the smoke to migrate through over weeks or months. Also, you can taste the first ones...- dsk

Auberins Pid Controller WSD-1503CPH Caused A Fire In My Smoker
I'll accept that thermisitors are not commonly called RTDs. But, a PT100 is 100 ohms at 0C, and a PT1000 is 1000 ohms at 0C. So, they are not interchangable.- dsk

Auberins Pid Controller WSD-1503CPH Caused A Fire In My Smoker
RTD means resistance temperature detector, a generic term for a resistor that varies its resistance with temperature. This is also called a thermistor (thermal resistor.) There are NTC, negative temperature coefficient resistors, in which the resistance goes down when temperature goes up, and...- dsk

Good burner for one pan, or electric FLAT skillet?
If your Coleman stove is propane, the bulk tank hose adapter is about $15-20. If it is liquid fuel, Coleman no longer makes a propane adapter, but Stansport and Mr. Heater do for about $30, plus you still need the hose. For $30, I think I would pick up a used propane stove from Craigslist...- dsk
