    First Impressions: Auber PID SYL-1615SYS PID controller for WSM

    Yes I bought more tape, and the kind I got is a high temp foil tape for HVAC applications. I got mine at Home Depot for about $8 or so. The 50yard roll will last me the rest of my life if I live to 100. Good luck and happy smoking!!

    First Impressions: Auber PID SYL-1615SYS PID controller for WSM

    Yes, I just remove the tape & reseal when I use the Auber. Like you mentioned I don't use it every time I smoke, and the tape comes right off. Yes, after more than a year it's still doing great. It's well built. Be sure to keep the owners manual. Sometimes I forget which button does what. Then I...

    First Impressions: Auber PID SYL-1615SYS PID controller for WSM

    I have the TC-K6A and it works really well. The clip lets me put it anywhere I want to on the grate. My only issue with it is that on my late-model WSM-18.5, the alligator clip can be kinda difficult to get through the silicone grommet on the side of the smoker, it's manageable and I haven't...

    Here's my latest build. My nephew graduates tomorrow (5/9/2015) from Ole Miss. And he's a big New Orleans Saints fan. So here's his graduation present. Hotty/Who-dat!

    First Impressions: Auber PID SYL-1615SYS PID controller for WSM

    I think you're probably right. One thing I have noticed on my Weber Smokey Mountain smoker (18.5") is that the fan blows hard enough on the coals to carry a little bit of ash up from the charcoal basket to the grates. I don't notice any effects on the meat flavor or appearance, but the grates...

    The 6CFM fan works well for my long, low & slow smokes ~225-250. It seems to be keeping up with the needed airflow just fine for that, cycling off and on about equal amount of the time. But I haven't used the Auber for anything in 300-325 degree range - if you're going to be doing that a lot...

    Nice job, hoochiemama!! Great looking build. I don't need to tell you how great those Minis are since you're already enjoying yours. The best Boston Butts I've ever cooked came off the Mini, and you can't beat it for higher temp cooks like chicken. I built one for my nephew-in-law and he has...

    Thanks for the tip! Where did you find the different colored high temp paint? My local stores (at least the ones I go to regularly) carry any color I want as long as it's black :-)

    I hear you! If I had my own to do over it would be flying the LSU flag... Mine is plain. Maybe I need to do another one for me...

    Here's my latest build - this one is what Santa Clause is bringing my niece and nephew-in-law :-) It's going on a brand new Smokey Joe Silver, which is still in the box until Christmas - I just put the pot on an existing (well-used) Joe I already had for the picture.
