    Smoke Vault 24 Thermometer Mod

    Agree with Al.  The front thermometer is maybe a half inch hole when you remove the existing thermometer.  I removed mine, drilled a larger hole, and added a Tru-Tel. For thermocouple routing, I prefer the top vent so the wires don't get caught up in the door mechanism when I'm shutting it...

    Digital temp mod

    I'll have to give the PID auto tune a try since you had success with it and see if that improves the ramp and disturbance (door open) response.  Auber's instruction manual cautiously recommends trying to use the default settings and then manual before going to AT, but AT is definitely worth...

    Digital temp mod

    I had good success generally replicating this setup.  I ended up putting a needle in the always on circuit as well as the solenoid controlled circuit.  I figured that might give me some better top end control for lower smokes.  I also went with a ASCO solenoid, Crydom SSR, and an Auber SMD-100...

    Digital temp mod

    Thanks for all the details within this post.  I'm in the process of using the same general approach...you did a really nice job. I did notice you are using pipe dope on the NPTs under the smoker.  Pipe Dope tends to break down at high heat....probably not a big issue with low and slow, but you...

    First Brisket - When would you start?

    Thanks for the tips.  I stuck it on the smoker at 5AM and so far so good (currently hit the stall).  With regards to rest, how long can you generally rest the brisket at 170?   Depending on what time it finishes up, I'm planning to adjust my rest: 1) Super late, I'll lightly foil and rest...

    First Brisket - When would you start?

    I'm planning to serve up my first brisket tomorrow.  I'd like to aim for 6PM to cut plus or minus 2 hours.  I picked up a 15.5lb prime whole packer from costco...looks pretty good I think (good thickness in the flat).  I was going to go ahead and trim it up tonight and get up an hour early to...

    Needle Valve Question

    I think I'm going to do the same thing and found the same safety valve as you are using.  What size male NPT threads are on the inlet and outlet?

    Smoke Vault Natural Gas and Needle Valve conversion

    Received my SV24 today, but not my natural gas hose or the #51 drill bit that's required, but I'm looking at what fittings I'll need. From the propane, there is a L.P. regulator followed by what looks like a 3/8" male hose to female flare 3/8" female.  The 3/8" flare female connects to the gas...

    New Smoker

    Hi, new smoker here.  Looking at the Camp Vault SV24 to cut my teeth on and eventually the fast eddy's PG500 pellet to replace my grill.  This will be my first attempt at smoking so I've been reading lots! I live north of Dallas, work in electrical\software engineering.  You can bet I'm...

    Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24 - Overnight

    New smoker here.  I've been researching and think the SV24 with the natural gas conversion fits the bill for me.  I was also thinking I'd insert a needle valve into the equation to get more precise control after reading that the knob is super sensitive.   I'm anticipating needing to run the...
