    Wiring PID and SSR = need some help

    Dan Can't answer the second part of your post, but here's a link for the first.  Just plug in the elevation and the barometric pressure, and you'll have your boiling point.  (you can get current barometric readings from the weather channel or other weather url.  It looks like your boiling point...

    Pandemonium:  I'm such a noob, I had to google "ECB".    It's really not that high tech, though.  I'm just using a new fangled thermostat to turn on and off the element. Dan:  I have a few places that are sheltered from the elements.  When firing it up, it'll be placed in one of those areas. ...

    Thanks for the kind words, gents. Believe me, no one wants to cook on this thing more than me. I ran into an issue last eve when testing it.  The temp would not go above 220F.  The element is 1650W.  I think I'm bleeding too much heat out of the bottom.  Tonight I'm going to wrap the bottom of...

    Greetings, Initially, I was going to build an UDS with PID control, but found this in my mother's shed. I had forgotten I had it. Wanted to make it electric. Here's a pic with the element mounted. Added a Weber smoke box. It sits directly above the element and gets quite warm. here it is...

    Wiring PID and SSR = need some help

    Joe, Are you able to get PID control when wiring through J1?  I've just completed the wiring for a small electric smoker  That one is run to a SSR.  I have another PID ( a friend keeps giving them to me) and a drum.  I'd like to put a PID on an charcoal fueled UDS.  If I run a small computer...

    grill/grate thermo. with capillary

    Ken, Think of a PID as a "smart switch"  It's a switch with some logical functions built in.  I could go into a long/boring narrative, but WIKI does a pretty bang up job of explaining it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller A PID will basically automatically control your temps more...

    grill/grate thermo. with capillary

    Here ya go Ken The first image, PID is reading 90 and panel meter is reading 89.6 It's still a WIP.  The SSR needs wired to the PID and element.  I just got the element the other day and have not had the time to mess with it.  Hopefully by the weekend, I'll have everything installed and give...
