    MYPIN TA4 PID manual, programming instructions and general PID/SSR info - by request

    Hi Thunderjosh, On my setup the fan runs constant until desired temperature, I haven't played around with any of the PID functions. (I don't really think I need to) The temp usually overshoots by 30ish degrees, however after 15-20min the temp comes down. I don't cook in any competitions, so...

    Hi guys,  I got my Smoker up and running this weekend using the the temp controller. Overall I am very impressed with it, It ran +/- 5° throughout the majority of my smoke. (Except when I opened the lid to wrap the ribs, however it settled down rather quickly)  Thunderjosh, I am not using the...

    Thanks Dward! 67 degrees here in Wisconsin is nice and toasty!  Smoked some ribs using the PID fan controller and they turned out great!

    Thanks for the idea, I am almost done with my fan controller set up. All that's left is to build the fan mount. Check it out! Thanks!

    Best meat for a new smoking enthusiat

    Try a pork butt, they are almost impossible to ruin. I like to do mine around 235 degrees, plan at least an hour per pound. Use the minion method, and let it cook to an internal temp of 200-205. (As long as the IT is above 200 it should fall apart) Good luck!

    18.5" wsm with party q in cold temps help.

    On days that its really cold I don't use water, (The water absorbs too much of the heat).

    Thanks for the quick response goingcamping, If I got a voltage step down would the amperage be high enough to run a draft fan? If not, what would I need to increase the amperage enough run the fan? Thanks for all your help! (Sorry for asking such trivial questions, this stuff is way above my...

    Thanks for the quick reply goingcamping, Would something like this work:  is the amperage there to supply a small electric motor like this one: Thanks again for all the help. :)

    I'm thinking about using one of these for an air draft fan. The electric fan I was looking at required 0.3a at 12v, and the TA4 only outputs 30ma in 24v. Is there a SSR that will convert 24v to 12v and increase power enough to run the fan? Do I even need a SSR? Thanks for the help, (Most of...

    First Attempt at Ribs

    Thanks for the input everyone! Would a rub like that work on a pork butt for pulled pork, or still too much salt even for that? Something like this would be better? NEW Rib rub recipe: 2     Cups Brown sugar ¾    Cup Paprika ¼    Cup Garlic powder ¼    Cup Black peper ¼    Cup Salt...

    First Attempt at Ribs

    Hello All, This weekend I purchased 4 loin back ribs and gave it a try. I own the WSM 18.5" so I decided the best way to fit them on it would be to cut them into half racks. I rubbed them on Friday night, wrapped them, then on Saturday before putting them on the smoker rubbed them again...
