    PID controller with smoke schedule and food holding

    This PID controller is from Auber Instruments and has all or most of the features used on the Smokin-it digital electric smokers and the Auber instruments plug and play PID controllers without Wi-Fi. It's just the PID controller so you'd need to be able to build a PID box like a lot of people...

    PID addition to Gen-1 MES 40

    Bright red after curing

    This has been curing for 9 days. It's scraps from buckboard that I'm making. None of it is thicker than 1 inch. Cure is salt 2.5% brown sugar 1.8% cure#1 0.25% I don't remember seeing the red in the beginning. Is this an issue? Any idea on what cases it?
