I did think about putting some screen door mesh on there to be honest. I assumed this stuff was pretty industrial grade but I agree I like my things to have as long a life as they can for sure. J- speedj

Looking forward to your guidance on this John. Don't think I will be putting the stock controller back in but it may help others long term who don't want or can't invest in the PID controller. For me it was a night and day difference and the price can't be beat compared to the Traeger. Have a...- speedj

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Savannah Stoker as well Phil, good to see this pellet grill getting options, that looks like a nice controller as well. And really for the investment you make in adding a aftermarket controller you are still way ahead of the game compared to one of...- speedj

Pit Boss 820
That is awesome to hear! It makes life so much easier doesn't it? The only other thing I would always suggest is to put a nice nomex gasket on the lid I do that for all my smokers. It helps to seal the chamber up so your smoke goes only out the stack and not out the lid. I haven't really noticed...- speedj

For sure, that's a lot of smiles you miss out on if you take that leap into that price range. I personally feel like the quality is there of the much more expensive smokers with just changing out the controller with this one. Overall for something that takes not that long to install and produces...- speedj

1) The family are huge fans of Baby backs so my smokes are in the 5-6 hour range everytime. 2) It holds the temp within 5-10 to be honest, I think the maker of this controller says 15 to be safe calculating in wind and other variables that may change the temperature. I cook in the crook of my...- speedj

Sorry to hear that Mark, while I agree that the product should work a bit better than intended I figured after purchase price plus the PID controller I'm still way ahead of the game and getting such a consistent smoke out of it now that it's just a matter of dialing in the timing. To each their...- speedj

No worries, Let me know how it all works out for you. See if you can get a shot of the pid controller before you install it. That's about all we're missing to make it informative. J :cool:- speedj

Thanks for the kind words Lance truly enjoying it so far, can't wait to get some runs this weekend with the new controller. J -
Pellet Pro... does it really work?
I just swapped out my Pit Boss controller for a PelletPro and I'd have to say I recommend it as well. I'd totally recommend it, if your pit probe is going it does come with a replacement as well as a meat probe. Here it is with the temp set to 225F.- speedj

Pit Boss 820
Funny you should ask, I just got one in May for my birthday, I played around with the built in controller but had some really horrid results, swings of 90ish degrees. Now having said that, I asked for and received a PelletPro PID controller for dad's day and got it installed this past weekend...- speedj
